Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Latcho Drom - Auschwitz Song - Gypsy Melody - To Share

2013-04-06 Thread Emily Reyn 
Thank you Share for giving me license to use what you said about me, to me.  
It's how I heal and also how I try on others' perspectives about me.  

"When one plays with fire, one will get burned."  That's my cryptic context for 
that remark.  I don't think ghee will help me; aloe might, if I drink it.  

What I wrote to Curtis was not necessarily fun or funny, and FFL has not been 
"fun or funny" for me in the last couple of days. I didn't think the posts you 
wrote over the last 1-2 days were fun or funny either.  But, it doesn't matter 
what I think.  And, despite what I routinely maintain, I am not always here for 
the fun of it all.  

I called Curtis a "sometimes hard-ass MF", and I think he may have chosen, 
politely, to let me unload that and not respond.  Or, I missed it, which is 
even better - I don't need a response.  That may, or may not be funny - 
depending on the mood of the person writing it and the mood of the person 
receiving it and the context of it and the background between the two, etc., 
etc.  

Hopefully, he and I are "cool" - assuming last year's determination still 
holds.   

To Curtis: I liked the song you sent of the singing drum very much.  I have 
never seen one of those.  


I will let you in on a secret of mine Share.  I always, (well almost always), 
without fail - examine my part in any exchange.  I don't always do this in a 
timely manner. I may project initial reaction / defensiveness, etc. here on 
FFL.  I appreciate that I can do that here - I consider the ability to story 
tell and present my process or issue or thought or book I read twice (smile - 
and didn't think the same about it both times), or song I listened to, 
creatively here, a gift.  

I almost always do it and I try to be fully honest with myself and look at my 
MO and why.  I don't post all that here, thank goodness.  I deceive myself so 
well that this can be a laborious process and is usually why it takes more than 
one lesson, often from more than one person, for me to have any real 
breakthroughs about myself or change my approach to my life.  Not all of my 
personal epiphanies require me to participate actively.  This is, in part, what 
I like about FFL - I learn a lot about myself here and a lot about other 
people.  This is just the more psychological side.  I get a lot more than I 
give in many areas.  In conclusion, many times it is fun and funny and absurd 
and witty and biting and more.  Sometimes it isn't - that's when I need to be 
listening the hardest.  

I don't dislike you Share - remember that - I don't feel I know you well enough 
to like or dislike you - I feel that way about most posters here.  I worry 
about you sometimes, though, but that isn't my business to do that.  I don't 
always like your posts, but neither do you mine.  That's O.K.  


And because I'm listening to country music these days for the first time in my 
life, here's one that I heard on the radio this morning and laughed pretty hard 
with.  "I love it when she calls me buttercup"

He's making the point that clarifying butter doesn't
involve skimming the fat off butter but rather skimming
(or cooking) off everything from butter (water, milk
proteins) that *isn't* fat. What's left, the fat, is
what's called ghee (or "clarified butter").

Hmmm... perhaps rather like water cooked off and milk proteins
skimmed off??? Or, perhaps I have the verb 'skim off' upside down,
so to speak! ROFLOL!

Emily, creepy is one of last years's words.  Meaning, it's a word I used last 
year whose use haunted me for months afterwards.  So if it arises in my mind, I 
consciously choose not to use it again.  You of course may use it all you want. 
 Thank you, my sore muscles recovered pretty quickly for a crone like myself ha 
ha.


Yahoo is still being wonky.  A post of mine from yesterday afternoon was not 
counted in last night's Post Count!  Gnashing of teeth.  And I haven't seen all 
posts this morning SO...not sure if you got a burn but hope it's better now if 
you did.  Aloe is great for burns.  Also ghee which is much messier.  Ghee is 
clarified (fat skimmed off) butter and I've found it to be very healing for 
skin conditions.  

I enjoyed what you wrote to Curtis a lot.  Isn't FFL funny and fun?!

Yes, Ann, you are correct - I was playing with words (I mean writing a double 
entendre).  Ha.  I had to look that up.  I learn so much here. 

And Share, I was not in any way "swiping" at you (chalk it up to my creepy

tired muscles have recovered from swiping the ladies dome clean. :) P.S. I am

Wolf, I was referring to the comment about belittling the human condition, not

I knew I could rely on you for a tart response. But the comment of Emily's that 
I was referring to was not that one but the one before it -- as you would know 
if you had read the traffic. (Too long a work day, obviously, authfriend.)

2013-04-05 Thread seventhray27 

that's neat.  just by coincidence, my daughter and a friend of hers, are
going to interview two holocaust survivors, a husband and wife next
Sunday at 1:30. They just left their house to go to a nursing home. The
wife of one of my employees did housekeeping chores for them.

When he said he didn't believe they had ever been interviewed, I thought
it would be an important thing to do.

"Talking in Bed," first published in Larkin's The Whitsun Weddings, 1964. In 
his Collected Poems, 1989, ed. p. 129. Got it in front of me right now. 

I've always liked this poem. Larkin is my favorite post-World War II poet. 
Pessimistic of course, in an English kind of way, but some of the poems are in 
fact very spiritual -- they lift out into a kind of nameless transcendence that 
is quite wonderful. "High Windows," for example (I love this poem! The context 
of course is the sexual revolution of the 1960s, which came a little late for 
Larkin, born 1922):

When I see a couple of kids
And guess he's fucking her and she's   
Taking pills or wearing a diaphragm,   
I know this is paradise

Everyone old has dreamed of all their lives—   
Bonds and gestures pushed to one side
Like an outdated combine harvester,
And everyone young going down the long slide

To happiness, endlessly. I wonder if   
Anyone looked at me, forty years back,   
And thought, That'll be the life;
No God any more, or sweating in the dark

About hell and that, or having to hide   
What you think of the priest. He
And his lot will all go down the long slide   
Like free bloody birds. And immediately

Rather than words comes the thought of high windows:   
The sun-comprehending glass,
And beyond it, the deep blue air, that shows
Nothing, and is nowhere, and is endless.

Feste: You were right. Thank you. Apologies. It somehow means less to me that I 
know it is Larkin now. :-) If you get my drift. I liked being corrected, as in 
some subtle way I was misaligned with reality when I thought it was a James 
Dickey poem.

Tell Share I am doing my best. And that I am a nice guy.

I always was a kind of bully.

Anyway, Larkin it is.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Latcho Drom - Auschwitz Song - Gypsy Melody - To Share

2013-04-05 Thread emilymae.reyn 
I am talking about the assumption that my post to Share and to FFL at large (in 
that I posted it publicly) was sent with some intention to "pile on."  Curtis 
also alluded to this.  This is so completely off-base as an excuse for anything 
posted, IMHO, and completely negates and disrespects attempts to communicate 
with each other on all levels.  

I was responding, as an individual to Share's love notes to Hitler and yes, I 
found her decision to play up that aspect of the conversation she was having 
with Robin offensive and supremely disrespectful - no matter the context - but 
that's my issue and I claim that. It has absolutely nothing to do with whether 
or not I like her; I was responding to what she posted. 

I was attempting to send her a little heart-felt feeling (as I don't think she 
can feel my prayers as legitimate - and, I haven't gotten around to doing them 
anyway, yet.  Ha.)  I was also intending to show some respect and give a nod to 
all the artists of Auschvitz (although I don't know that this song was written 
in a camp); an example of "entertwining tragedy with beauty" perhaps, in one 
sense.

Dear Curtis, the last line in your post is the closest that you come to my 
intentions on posting what I did.  

Talking in Bed

Talking in be ought to be easiest,
Lying together there goes back so far,
An emblem of two people being honest.

Yet more and more time passes silently.
Outside, the wind's incomplete unrest
Builds and disperses clouds about the sky,

And dark towns heap up on the horizon.
None of this cares for us. Nothing shows why
At this unique distance from isolation

It becomes still more difficult to find
Words at once true and kind,
Or not untrue and not unkind.

Regardless of whether Share's initial response had the
same "sense of absurdity," I suspect Emily was referring
to her "Dolphie" follow-up posts.

I'd be astonished if anyone here was capable of anything
equivalent to the "Dolphie" posts.

Well, maybe *you* would be.

I can go along with this, though.

For once, Curtis, I can see your point. And I appreciate it. I wish I had read 
this before I posted that HV post. What I most respect about you is how you 
seek to do justice to an issue that is being controverted, how you amass all 
the details and demonstrate in your rebuttals how keen you are to grasp the 
entirety of what is at stake (in terms of truth).

For instance, I could feel how you had absorbed all the posts back and forth 
between me and Share--and then how your post here reflected--and then 
transcended--the totality of what had been said. It is a very beautiful thing 
watching you in action, Curtis.

You have the extraordinary gift of being infinitely invulnerable.

All of what you say here is pure BS. Want to know why?

I don't think you do.

But if you answer this, I will tell you.

I get it that you don't like Share Emily, but this "energetically aligning to 
Hitler" charge seems unfair.


It was Robin who brought him into the conversation and she just batted that 
ball back in the same sense of absurdity that it was thrown.

It is a setup to now lay the whole heaviness of the holocaust on her as if she 
doesn't have the same grasp any of us have who didn't live through it, but have 
read about it.  I'll be she also thinks it was a horrible bad thing just as you 
do, and posting more horrors wont make her more sensitive to the issues than 
she already is.

And why didn't Robin get the sad gypsy song treatment when he brought Hitler up 
in a flip way?

That said the song is beautiful and moving and the video is amazing so I guess 
in the end art triumphs over all intentions.
