Communique #6 The BIG Story



I’m just coming In from my walk:
The BIG news today, a house in the neighborhood that just went on sale. (The house had recently been purchased, followed by a multitude of workmen, painters everyday for weeks.)  Is it a flip house, or what’s the story here? 
>Reporting here from the house that just went on the market.   I’m speaking to a gentleman from the neighborhood,
 “Really shocked, the house was just purchased”.  “And it has just been painted”. 
> “Sir, Do you know the owner?” 
“No, I've only spoken to him a few times.  I know they have two children”.  


>The house is on the market with an unusual firm, Caldwell Banker Bain.  The house previously sold for $1.6 Million and is on the market for $1.8.  With Spring coming the heather is very colorful. The landscaping looks great.  
Here’s another neighbor.
>“No, I don’t know why they are moving”.
There is only speculation at this hour about why this family is moving.
Reporting from the neighborhood, Michael Cannarella

This is a developing story, stay tuned for updates.

Communique #4

Watching the sky this evening, wind moving the trees. Out the window, watching the movement of the evergreen limbs in motion. Are they moving in a different way? Has the pandemic changed this movement, the motion of the limbs? I wonder. Yes, it is nonsensical and yet, . . . I study the trees, the movement, and am mindful and alert to detect the change. While watching my mantra comes to me, “We are ALL in this together”. And if there is an omnipresent power acting as director, it would be a fine time for this enormous teaching moment. We are ALL in this together and if we can flatten the curve of the virus, we could flatten the curve of the climate crisis. Because we are ALL in this together. And yet, I can see that this could all spin down into chaos. I see both sides. I am pulled to the positive, hopeful side while fully acknowledging the dark possibilities. My strong suit here I feel is that I am seventy-one years old. Even with the worst projections I would still have l...

Communique #15 The Taster

This election is too important to leave food to chance.  Biden needs a Taster.  I don’t think Trump will stop at anything to win. In  ancient Rome , the duty was often given to a slave (termed the  praegustator ). Roman Emperor  Claudius  was killed by poison in AD 54 even though he hired a food taster named  Halotus . [1]  Tasters were sometimes coerced. [2]  Over history, presidents and royal families have hired food tasters or sacrifices, over fear of being poisoned.  Queen Durdhara , the  Mauryan  empress, ate food that was prepared for her husband and died. [3] Adolf Hitler 's food taster  Margot Wölk  tried the food at 8:00 am every day, and if she did not fall ill the food would be sent to Hitler's military headquarters. [2]  President  Vladimir Putin  has hired a food taster who is part of his security staff to protect himself as well. [3]  In recent times, animals such as mice have been us...

Communique #16

Frederick Douglass Speech 1857 “If there is no struggle there is no progress.  Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning.  This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle.  Power concedes nothing without demand.  It never did and it never will.”
