Precious thoughts from a mind not corrupted by capitalist"  Culture of Narcissism" consumerism. The soul preserved even while wallowing in the polluted air of the Golden Age of False Advertising and the Swindle in the damned " Human Reich". Longing for " Free"!  In this hopeless cesspool one must contend with one charlatan savior after another. Victory now is just saving your own soul.  You being a " spectator" even back in Broad Street School days.

Thank you Ron! 

I'm glad that it was YOU who got to 'accidentally' get a glimpse of my notes. 

I'd need another lifetime to observe the wonders of a thoughtful existence, and leave a more readable record of my thoughts.

In the meantime I'll keep scratching down my "shower thoughts". 

Thanks for the encouragement!

I think Dostoevsky also wrote "Notes From the Underground" and " Diary of a Madman". LOL. " Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" by James Joyce ( a Catholic soul even after his " Non Serviam!". You the soul of an artist. That" Pilgrim Soul".
