Diving Deep in the Symphony of Life
Powerfully pertinent re-play of the Visionary Activist Show from July 15, 2010,
at the beginning (of the on-going) Gulf of Mexico ecocide; hosting one of the very few deep deep Ocean scientists, Dave Gallo, from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.
He takes us on a tour of the Deep deep, the harm our rogue species has and is doing to the “symphony of life,” and an informed clarion call for us to rejoin the Choreography of Creation. Full of amazing facts that we be informed agents of cooperating with the rhythm of life. Dave Gallo, great scientist, with the soul of a poet, as we will hear.
David Gallo is an American oceanographer and explorer. For nearly 30 years he was Director of Special Projects at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution – a preeminent, globally recognized scientific laboratory. Recently retired and independent he remains at the forefront of ocean exploration, participating in and being witness to the development of new technologies and scientific discoveries that shape our view of planet earth. David is a voice for the relationship between humanity and the sea, inviting us all to recognize that the oceans hold the clues to our past and the key to our future.

Democracy in Chains (and the Keys to Liberation)
Caroline enthusiastically welcomes Nancy MacLean, author of “Democracy in Chains,”
that we may understand the increasing, and long-planned threat to democracy… and the urgency of our Now.
Gotta see the long-forged chains, in order to remove them….
Today’s Full Moon’s image is “A party of campers packing their canoe at twilight – the ability to navigate dark water.” We set forth, with this book in our canoe, to deeply understand the deep rooted organizational dementor competence underneath the apparent chaos.
Nancy MacLean is an increasingly influential award-winning scholar of the twentieth-century U.S., whose book, Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right’s Stealth Plan for America, is essential reading for all who care about democracy, and the fate of the Earth. MacLean is the William H. Chafe Professor of History and Public Policy at Duke University. Her research focuses on race, gender, labor history and social movements in 20th century U.S. history, with particular attention to the U.S. South.

Gemini Solar Eclipse-Liberating Language
Gemini Solar Eclipse-Liberating Language
Caroline welcomes the return of Miguel Rivera
who collaborated with Mentor Mahout Fran Quinn, to craft translations of their Beloved Poet ally, Humberto Ak’abal, K’iche’ Maya poet from Guatemala, recognized globally as voice for indigenous Guatemalan poetry and arts. Miguel remarks on the untimely death of Humberto in January 2019. “All I am moved to add at this time is that his poems are needed even more today given the monumental task we have ahead of us in restoring elegance, beauty, eloquence, grace and civility to the world in the years to come.”
In the Courtyard of the Moon, published by Tia Chucha Press
Let’s understand how a poetic voice emerges from the cruel faux underworld of humans, who were missing the whole point of life,
(Guatemala 1956-1995)- Ak’abal carries the language of delving into the poison, whereby to be diagnosing and proffering the antidote… Re-minding us of the liberating language of collaborative kinship.
Miguel: “When a country suffers from constant waves of violence, it is reflected in the collective at a high level of numbness and disori-entation. Many things are left unattended, roads, buildings, bridges, houses, and people. There is no reliable system of laws. The courts are corrupt, making the law of the gun prevail where common sense and respect for human life had been the norm.”
Onward to re-weaving the fabric of creation.
Re-member when Hercules was destroying the world with rampages (uninitiated Mars) – the gods sentenced him to the Underworld to learn spinning, knitting, and weaving.
