The human race is such a strange, sad strain of life. <br /><br />Given the ability to be self reflective, we simply look in the mirror instead. <br /><br />The post is very much appreciated ...Issa's Untidy Huthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352841590717991698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-42522584374818788462011-08-21T04:30:19.311-07:002011-08-21T04:30:19.311-07:00Don,

They haven't gone away, she said, just harder to spot since they don't wear the white sheets anymore.<br /><br />And, as you know, I appreciate an economy of words and the your title, Movement, seems to me a one word poem.Issa's Untidy Huthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352841590717991698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-35454514284823398382011-08-20T09:18:52.117-07:002011-08-20T09:18:52.117-07:00Thanks, Don.

For whatever night-busride reason it seemed the right time to pause and dwell on this moment of the past -- is it gone? -- or is it just that maybe people more than ever need reminding?TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-80169262404251886552011-08-20T08:52:58.996-07:002011-08-20T08:52:58.996-07:00These photographs touch very very deeply a sore te...These photographs touch very very deeply a sore tender place that seems to never properly heel.<br /><br />The O'Halloran photos - the picture of the young men walking the gauntlet and the body language of the two young white boys on the right, seemingly that of 40 or 50 year old men, is every bit as frightening as is the Barnard school picture of the young girls touching. There is so much here and so much that is really difficult to look at, to concentrate on.<br /><br />Almost too much to bear. Thank you for these.
