Dealer in Everything
Mr. Henry Fate, dealer in utensils and pots and pans, liniments and potions. A fanciful little man in a black frock coat who can help a man climbing out of a pit—or another man from falling into one.

I stumbled out of bed
I got ready for the struggle
I smoked a cigarette
And I tightened up my gut
I said this can't be me
Must be my double
And I can't forget, I can't forget
I can't forget but I don't remember what

I am standing up at the water's edge
In my dream
I cannot make a single sound
As you scream
It can't be that cold
The ground is still warm to touch
Hey, we touch
This place is so quiet, sensing that storm

I did not know
And I could not see
Who was waiting there,
Who was hunting me.
By the rivers dark,
Where it all goes on;
By the rivers dark
In Babylon.

Just how long do you want to hate
With all that anger to burn
You dream of revenge and you dream of reply
You’d hope that someday we’d learn
Every time you think of that hurt
It spins around in your mind
With an eye for an eye again and again
Until the whole world is blind
-Peter Gabriel

I love discovering Wyeth paintings and drawings I’ve never seen before.
This one surprised me.
It’s all there, yet I would not have said “That is obviously N.C!”

On social media, self-serving bias reigns. Users constantly mock others' mistakes, blind to their own. This collective denial is toxic dissonance. Trapped in echo chambers, egos flourish while self-awareness withers. Your own reflections remain unseen.
Can you be made to take the call of warning?

I ache in the places where I used to play
And I'm crazy for love but I'm not coming on
I'm just paying my rent every day
Oh in the Tower of Song

You can complain.
You can lobby for your stance.
But at the end of the day, is it so hard to be an American among Americans, hoping for a better future?
My wish is for a better America, no matter who helps achieve that wish.

I set out one night
When the tide was low
There were signs in the sky
But I did not know
I'd be caught in the grip
Of the undertow
Ditched on a beach
Where the sea hates to go
With a child in my arms
And a chill in my soul
And my heart the shape
Of a begging bowl
