This is my news reaction to taking down, yet another, prominent man- this time New York governor Coumo[1]. Now this guy is (a tad) imperious. He comes from a “Because I Can" (https://drjenwyman-clemons.com/2020/12/26/because-i-can/) background, and may have royalty in his genes. Either way his family learned to govern and he has successfully done so for…

Hail to the Unsung Hero
Hail to the unsung hero The one who steadfastly adheres to an idea Of right and wrong[1] He knows the rules - and sees if you are breaking them. Sure the “leaders”, (until now the tallest whitest men), Will disparage this ‘specialist’ class, As naive and without nuance. It is easy to cast dispersion, when…
Deformity
Deformity – that which is away, de-, from form. The “form” is construct of manifestation, the shape or quality of a thing or being as it relates to function- what it does. For a human, as your presented self is often compared to the beauty of those before you, or at least, if you're beautiful…
“Because I can”
“Because I can[1]…” There are many things I can’t fathom, nor would want to. The cruelty that people inflict on each other… for some momentary victory, that might leave a bunch of fallout, seems astounding. It’s like watching pigs rutting out in their pen, after eating their young. Why would someone purposely harm a child…
Fate versus Free Will
We all know that man has “free will”. Uniquely, he has ability to choose, plan, and decide. While apes have made significant “progress”, as have crows, rats and every creature in between– and will continue to do so, our human capacity for executive thinking, is the distinct purview of man. At least until now. We all,…
My Thanksgiving story
I started with the expectation of Thanksgiving set by my Aunt Judy (bless her heart). Thanksgiving, even with its historical controversy was, besides Easter, my favorite holiday! Every year there were around thirteen growing to twenty of us a mostly congenial group. With a beautiful formal table with china, crystal, and silver, we’d have like…
Carpe Diem. Seize the day.
Whether one or the other wins, at this point, there will be difficult futures for many, many, many people including the previously disenfranchised. Compared to what the Gulf Wars did to ordinary folks with businesses and practices- all lost when they were abusively deployed boots-on the ground. which took them years to recover, but many…
Inclusivity
Bubbles create power by its intention. With each bubble you are part of, you get the opportunity to engage with more like-bubbles, or to choose not. For this reason, one must ask, for what purpose do circles serve? Does it create power with, or power over? Are all parties given agency? Is it balanced both the masculine and feminine; yin and yang? Engaging with ones’ agency- or the feeling that in the “our” of being in a bubble, will get you more of “whatever you want!”, is powerful and feeds creativity.
Speaking Aloud
Speaking aloud, an utterance, AKA naming and “spelling”, is saying a word or phrase aloud; creating an airwave disturbance and resonance. Against our auric bubble littered with crystals Localized warping and contracting from our experience of past, present, and futures. Crystals that slow down and distort, the clarity of NOW around us. Resonating our fixed beliefs to…
