The Observation Deck

By the way,

Our street's potholes were fixed last week.

Hang in there. The trucks are on their way!

Everything can be improved upon. It is not my place to apply for the position of Library Director, as I do not have the credentials. However, it is my place as a tax paying resident of the city to voice my concerns.

It is not my place to run the Observer, but criticisms should be taken into consideration for the improvement of the project. If you ignore issues and problems, they will just get bigger. They do not just go away.

Chris:

I’m sorry I thought you had library credentials.

You are absolutely correct, though, in pinpointing the precise matter of the Grail complex as it relates to the library director’s edifice complex and the publisher’s megalomania: “If you ignore issues and problems, they will just get bigger. They do not just go away.â€￾

It’s like Wolfram von Eschenbach, nails it in Parzival:

“The sword will withstand the first blow,
at the next it will break in twain.â€￾

And your post evokes another $64K question about the vatic imagination in relation to the inflationary thrust of civics and poetics in the construction of the polis and the LO project: “Did he simply wish to emulate great predecessors, or did he have some inner propensity which might lead him to regard himself as prophetic, his life as determined by God, his poetic and pedagogic mission to activate men’s souls?â€￾ as William Aiken asks in his essay “Charles Olson and the Vatic.â€￾

If I may be bold enough to speak for myself and Mr. Warren, we both take any and all input seriously. I would say that both of us enjoy civic discourse. The Observer like the Library is very much a Ken Warren project in civic discourse and civic pride.

It was on a very crumpled piece of paper in the lower left drawer of Ken's desk, that was home to the infamous "Visionary Alignment For Lakewood" a magical pyramid that was a hard copy home to almost everything in your list, and so much more.

Just so you know, Chris is pretty talented. I have had the pleasure of seeing his work and photos. It was photos and his keen eye that originally brought us together.

It is all good fun, on a Sunday night when I am working on the paper.

.

Sounds good all.

As for my posts, I generally try not to reference individuals too often.

I like to offer such as an old banjo picker might from time to time...

But I will stand up for my friends.

I am after all, from the hills and hollers.

We do that sort of thing back there.

Back to the banjo...

Gary:

You are the most gracious and wisest Templar Knight in the peacable holler.

So let me come down from the chicken coop ladder of my ivory tower so that I may clink my Jesuit sword to the finer alloys of your DeMolay International Commander model.

While you pluck "Kumbayaâ€￾ and Bo Bo dances, we will quaff from the Grail cup as Jesuit and Masonic brothers, falling into fresh dreams that grow self-esteem, shadows and plucky chickens on the peninsula that takes me back to New York island.

Some will laugh; others will cry.

Again, I very much cherish your friendship and willingness to play in the imagination of community.

Lakewood's knight arrives at the entrance to the bear's cave
with a present, a smile, and a song for all.

Proud Observer Gary Rice, slays the dragons tonight.

All righty folks, what happened to this chain?

At some point we were talking about some issues. Now it's back to yet another insider conversation.
This is what bothers me about the Deck.

Wow,

Well thanks guys!

Gee, what a tribute!

Kumbayah time indeed....

It is said in the ancent martial art of Wu Su/Kung Fu, that the symbol of kung is time, and fu is energy.

Combine the two and you have something greater than either...chi.

Templars and Jesuits? Unbeatable.

When we invest our time and energy into projects that do good, often the result is indeed exponential...greater than anticipated.

Einstein figured that one out with E=mc2

And now, for those so inclined to ponder the release of energy...

A school bus is traveling down Detroit Ave. at 25 mph. A student walks from the back of the bus to the front seat (this is hypothetical as students are supposed to remain seated at all times while a bus is in motion)

Would that student be walking 4 mph, or 29 mph?

Enjoy this beautiful Lakewood day all!

Thanks again,

Back to the banjo...

Dee,

Thanks for your thoughts...

..but it's not off topic at all, nor is it about inside interests or back room dissertations.

It's all right here for all to see.

Nothing inside at all.

The discussion, yea, the journey itself, can become even more synergistic than the destination.

As any hunter going back to cave time will tell you.

The hunt is so much more exciting, rewarding, and fulfilling.

...than the final act of the day.

PS-

If you would referenct the flower photo above...

I think you would discover that this is a...

...daisy chain.

Dee:

Sorry to bore you.

It's all about the loving energy (Chi) that drifts through Lakewood brotherhood, sisterhood and neighborhood to help us refresh our vision of the earthly pothole and the heavenly peninsula.

The New World Order of Civics born of the energetic symbol play of neighbors on the LO Deck is, of course, bothersome, as any eruption from the psyche will be.

The symptoms unleashed through psyche (called "the crowd" by Mary Ann Mattoon in Jung and Human Psyche: An Understandable Introduction) on the tips of these (S)words of our real name cyber personas and hidden personalities are the disturbing value-added aspect to a soulful re-vitalization plan no mater what gets errected in the process.

And today the loving energy ran through Congressman Kucinich's office, as the Congressman, Mayor Edward FitzGerald, and Planning Director Nate Kelly announced they not only saved the Social Security office and 100 jobs, but will be turning non-taxable property into taxable property.

I have to think that this makes people like Bill Call a huge Kucinich supporter.

Nate Kelly and Ed Fitzgerald did all the leg work. The Social Security office was desperate to leave town. (The person in charge wanted to work closer to home). Each time the City offered a property that met all the criteria established by Social Security they found a new objection.

Kucinich just showed up for the face time on TV.
