See-Worthy

Ten years ago, Irwin E. Meyer [pictured] stepped aboard the vessel he and I call Friendship.  After listening to his Navy adventures; challenges and close-calls during World War 2; a mosaic emerged ---- one which did more than invite; but demand his personal narrative, on-camera:

Reading Styles

This

 That

Actions Speak Louder

While the seasonal lights of New York City

 framed a decorated tree; 

                               inside New York University's Kimmel Center,
                      Personal Democracy Media [PDM][and assorted allies].

convened an amplified stage

with Micah Sifry

its Moderator.

Up front; 

@ the Center

of the Agenda:

Clay Shirky spoke of Open Source
as a critical ingredient of the
Occupy Movements.

Mark Meckler [pictured right] invoked America's "First Families" crediting

them with standing up to a distant King

for the sake of a nascent Republic.

In the audience's lap?

Perspectives

poised for combustion

on their face:

Ori Brafman [pictured right] spoke of "leaderless" possibilities;

swimming in a spectrum [faith, labor, 'politics']

of those who organize by leading

and lead by organizing

But irony had its time to shine:

Zeynep Tufekci whose political roots derive from Turkey and could be mistaken for an "ivory tower-type" [despite her substantial field work] funneled some sobering reminders into the minds of those who may have been elevated by the energy of the speakers who preceded her :

Throughout history there have been "many worthy movements" but the truth is it isn't enough to be for something; one must Act. 

Again and again.

Passageways

 @ the beginning of My story; I give in by breaking the spine of my first book.

I discover libraries; they move me from worlds --- consolatory rebuttals moving

parallax with time and space.

Click; clack; steel path.

I'm on my way.

 The data points [see above] we must agree, are more than a twinkle in Our mind's eye: 

Some prefer paper to the tablet tableau.  This is a reality we resolve to agree.

 But what

is Your

Plan C?

here's an opportunity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRfWl8RYtmk&feature=player_embedded#!

Naming Names

ever since

that 

sun-drenched September day

the signs

have kept us

in the zone

of knowing

some, choose 

to take a stand

others rise

with a gleaming might

We adjust; focus

while lives flow

Here,

there are no corners to cut

Yes,

We have come to remember;

but would we rather forget?

Identity [in a box]

'tis the Season

to

deck the halls

with boughs of Holly

but 

when, why,  how

?

my letter/catalog-carrier

 tells me

it is time

to give

to spend

to choose:

but once 'stolen'

Identity

is more than

a casual come-uppance

first reported

by a major credit card provider

which is why

all "identifying information"

will be

re-cycled:

Bundled Transport

Superman's Refuge

Framed by the constant revelations of  analysis --- real, perceived, imagined; a phone booth survives. 

Childhood memories tug @ my cape and I imagine one of  my favorite Caped Crusaders: Superman.

He needed space to transform.

Don't we all?

Older Adopter

So much of the messaging is for the youth share.   What of the  Older set, sitting  easy;  tablet-beaming?
