“In the midst of a stellar field lies the anguish of nothingness!”

A most peculiar statement, in the absence of context,  which I assure you will not go unnoticed.  But for the moment,  begging your indulgence,  I’ve got to (first) go through a process,  a sort of transfiguration in order to set my self right!

The other day I was standing in line to pay for soda.  To the right of a checkout stand lay a selection of periodicals/daily newspapers.  I noticed that on nearly each of the front pages was some sort of bold commentary about the “Financial Crisis Hits Wall Street”,  “Your Portfolio at Risk”,  “The Coming of an END?”  and so on.  Read more...

There is a wonderful old saying that,  as best I recall, goes something like this :

“There is unity in purpose even if it is with those of us who willing sing and march to the tune of our Leaders as they lead us merrily over the CLIFF!”

“The Resolution”

I’ve struggled with how best to compose this,  the last offering in this series so much so that I’ve had to re-work the composition no lest than eight times.  Seems there’s so much more to say and, accounting for the desire to not publish a manuscript,  I’ve had to severely edit the piece.  My only worry of course is that it doesn’t quite deliver the “punch” I intended.  In other words, an item looses its identity when it no longer resembles itself.  Let’s just move on!  Read more...

First,  so that we’re all on the same page,  an excerpt from “Part 1”:

“Over the past many months much has been “pressed” on the subject of the “Mortgage   Crisis in America”.  This conversation will continue for many more months if not years so don’t look for the dialogue to end any time soon.   To aid in the process fueling this great confabulation I’ve decided to put pen to paper and start my own commentary so prepare yourself for a 3 Part series on the subject which I’ve blithely titled “Whose Mess is This Really?”  Read more...
