If I ruled the world…
There was an ice cream shop my mom would take me to when i was little. Called the Pink Dipper, I think. The walls were pink. And all along the walls were shelves with toys. porcelain masks. and clowns. Very fine things. such beautiful things. And along with each self was a sign that read “YOU BREAK IT, YOU BUY IT! ” and I would get the stern talk an eye glare from my mom at the doorway “…..DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING!” To this day I don’ t recall the ice cream or it’s taste. I don’t even recall the items and what they were. I just know that they were bright and beautiful. And that I was restricted from them. from having. from touching. from engaging with the fine things… restricted from beauty.
seem to me that there should be a law added to docket. May no human ever be restricted from having. touching. or relishing in BEAUTY. It may in fact be the very thing we need next to food and water.
I wish i could parachute it down in neatly wrapped satchels for the entire world.
and maybe with a note! that says… “If you break it… THAT’S OKAY! ! …just remake it… into some thing new and beautiful too.” like the Japanese potters repairing brokenness with gold.
and why don’t we hear more about you more Bill?
JOY.

Will cyborg circuits be made from melanin?
Posted on March 26, 2019 by Frontiers Science Communications in Engineering, Featured News, Robotics and AI // 2 Comments
Scientists have achieved a billion-fold increase in the electrical conductivity of melanin, that could unleash its potential in safe, sustainable bioelectronics; Frontiers in Chemistry
Despite extensive research on the structure of melanin, nobody has yet managed to harness its potential in implantable electronics.

The dark brown melanin pigment, eumelanin, colors hair and eyes, and protects our skin from sun damage. It has also long been known to conduct electricity, but too little for any useful application – until now.
Digestion and Memory
I’m aware of the fact that when the stomach is digesting
the body pulls all of the energy needed from else.where (?) to ensure this can happen.
Explanations of the “itis” so to say.
something similar happens with traumas.
the spirit and body (they are quilted) pull all of the energy needed from else.where (??) to digest.
to keep itself moving.
releasing.
shitting.
flushing.
washing.
standing.

I can tell you where My grandmother would (try to ) hide her sewing scissor from us.
and the songs the soldiers would chant on the field…
but… i realize.

Daydreaming
It is by far my favorite means of travel…
“its not down on any map; true places never are” ~ Herman Melville
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase ‘each other’
doesn’t make any sense.” ~ Rumi
There is a word called... "wicked"
awaiting serious critical analysis.
with far too many euphemisms standing in its place.
True conversations have yet to begin.
“The Sugar House”
“I have heard a great deal said about hell, and wicked places, but I don’t think there is any worse hell than that Sugar House. ” ~James Matthews
Talk to me Quilters...
tell me of your art. I think you may know the secrets of this delicate relationship between the spirit realm… and this one of ours… perhaps you even hold the pattern. on waxed sheets of folded sepia.
my mind’s eyes cant stop seeing the grand underpinnings of it all.
star shine pulled through needle eye.

Worse Than...
“The thing worst than rebellion is the thing that causes rebellion.”
~Fredrick Douglass.
and may you never apologize for having had to rebel. to stand up.
I will forever be the cheerleader of the one who said —no more.
yes yes.
with soft eyes
a smile.
and a dip of the chin.
u see me?
I see you.
There is a word called... Platitude.
plat·i·tude
/ˈpladəˌt(y)o͞od/a remark or statement, especially one with a moral content, that has been used too often to be interesting or thoughtful.
oh the many many platitudes.
