From sea to shining sea, we're rooting for you, America

11/2/2020

 
Picture
Let us be lovers, we'll marry our fortunes together
I've got some real estate here in my bag
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner's pies
And we walked off to look for America
Cathy, I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've gone to look for America  
— Paul Simon
There is not a liberal America and a conservative America - 
there is the United States of America. 
There is not a black America and a white America 
and latino America and asian America - 
there's the United States of America.
— Barack Obama
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; 
only light can do that. 
Hate cannot drive out hate; 
only love can do that.
— Martin Luther King, jr


We are not makers of history. We are made by history.
— Martin Luther King, jr
We must learn to live together as brothers 
or perish together as fools.
— Martin Luther King, jr

A genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus 
but a moulder of consensus. 

— Martin Luther King, jr

The Visual Time Traveller
This is a labour of love, insanity, beauty and, perhaps, an attempt to reintegrate history, art and science together again.
  Simon Cocking Irish Tech News

​Not only is she forced to share a small city with da Vinci, he has even turned up in the same postal district.  Frank McNally The Irish Times

Crabbing
Her range of language is both staccato and soft, in succinct verse, which encourages you to read this aloud, truly the best way to engage in the emotional depth of a poem.
