    Hoping for Smooth Sailing with the Sea Gulls and Thoreau | Countercurrents (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Here where I sit once again looking easterly to the vast sea, the wind and the waves and winding vistas along the north Atlantic coast drown out trivial thoughts. We are here for a few days to empty our minds of trash, as a vacation should so vacate. Unlike many, we are lucky for this opportunity. Yesterday, while walking down the far deserted beach, we saw a dark mountainous form high up on a sand dune that perplexed us from a distance. As we closely approached it, we saw it was a massive dead

    The Benefit of Not Reading | Countercurrents (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    “For my sister Rita, an artist who didn’t imitate and who died on this day long ago, trying.” It is a commonplace that a steady diet of the mass media can rot the brain and so fill one’s mind with nonsense that a creative thought becomes impossible. The Internet, television, film, and miniseries addictions are widespread and keep electronic minds flashing in and out and everywhere so as to avoid that much maligned word “boredom,” the feared state where real thinking can germinate.

    Why The Odyssey? | Countercurrents (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    If you spent one to two years when you were 16-17 years old and full of wild physical and sexual energy assiduously translating Homer’s The Odyssey from the ancient Greek in little (7” x 4”) gray books where you placed your English translation interlineally, trying to get every word precisely right and the syntax flowing for the hawk-eyed inspection of a Greek obsessed Jesuit priest, you too might have felt wounded like Odysseus by a wild boar. But the wounds we carry with the years can still im

    Why Do We Love Sad Songs? | Countercurrents (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    “A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song.” The titular question appropriately arose as our spirits rose during a sumptuous Easter dinner celebrating the triumph of life over death and love over hate. My granddaughter Sophie and I – she, three weeks shy of her eighteenth birthday – discovered that we both love sad songs and wondered why. Sophie, already an accomplished actress, singer, dancer, and writer on the cusp of a brilliant career, said such songs made

    Hoping with Paul Simon that the Gate Won’t Be Closed | Countercurrents (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    They crowded the gate, anxious for entry. It was a heavenly late afternoon, the sky blue, the sun radiant, you could see all the way to eternity. Most in the crowd were old, hungry for salvation, gnawing on their memories. It was Peter’s day off, but a man with a gun stood at the entrance. Paul was somewhere within, working on his lines, saying his prayers, hoping to sound the right note when the madding crowd rushed in with their wagons full of food and drink. “Standing there I wondered how muc
