                               ARISE, PEOPLE !       As an artist who is also an American, I feel a tremendous new energy and inspiration today. I also marvel at the enormous collision of values and unexpected twists and turns that become evident when one is a citizen of the world. I stagger at today's unveiling of the fact that my country has no  plan for covid vaccine distribution.....yet another lie...The collision of values seems to almost overwhelm the straightforward and simple needs of all people everywhere. This all reminds me so much of the late '60's when, for example, I proudly defended my country and helped fight a war against which I protested....when women and minorities and homosexuals and radical thinkers were often treated as criminals....when the very definitions of God,   human,   love  were debated everywhere.       But enough philosophy.....

Put the World In Motion!

Most of us in the arts love movement: the tempo of music, the rhythm of an actor's speech, the thrill of a chase on screen or stage, the pulse of a chorus line. Putting things in motion does not always have to do with speed. It can refer to energy and impulse, such as helping victims in a hurricane or a mass shooting as they learn how to shed the heavy weight of despair and begin to move forward. Most of us take motion and movement for granted, but there are those who can only watch and enjoy from their seats, whose disabilities or limitations hold them back (see Alisa Erkes' excellent blog which follows this one, about the important project she is headlining for us in combatting Behcet's disease.)

ACTION, LOVE, PEACE, SUMMITS

The Alps are among the most spectacularly beautiful features of our planet...I will never forget the moment I first saw them. My mind goes to the many ways in which we people must climb mountains to achieve what should be automatic and universal. Several dozen of us at World Oceans Arts are about to go into production of a feature film, 1969. As a person who was alive in the 1960s, I have a flood of memories of peace and war, violence, protest and the rights of people. This morning the mountaintops of our society are crowded with thousands of brave and mentally brilliant young students and others, who will march through our streets today to remind us that the preservation of life and dignity and freedom must always be at the top of our summit of goals. I salute the many students in Florida and elsewhere who have woken us up to what our priorities must be. At WOA we are also just days away from production of a public service video about Behcet's disease. One thing I learned in t...
