Language Therapy, in the Great Lakes Cities, Farms and Towns

Milwaukee is processing
The energy generated by
Focusing on the progressive
Aspects of our shared past,
And that which our mutual aid
Of the day creates,
And the energy that comes
From visions.

Out of this compost
Comes heat sufficient
To change our self image
And that of the world beyond.

Milwaukee becoming a warm city
In the 21st Century.

A warm city.
Warms the body.
Warms the spirit.

Milwaukee the Beautiful
Great City on the
Cleansing Great Lakes.

Milwaukee is becoming
Mind and Spirit to
Chicago’s Great Body,
Anchoring renaissance settlements
In the emerging Great Lakes Culture,

A confluence of civilizations,
Neither North nor South,
East nor West,
Right or Left, but
Centered, the Middle Way,
the Great Lakes Way.

Dear Gerald and Jan,

How “white” are they?

If they were the narcissistic, self-righteous, and ignorant old white men, who have been causing so many problems for so long, the White Talibans, I can’t imagine you being able to enjoy your food.

Were they really, really “white men” in the classic sense of the term.

Were they really, really “white?”

Is it their skin color or something else that inspires that concept?

Gerald’s words bring forth a conversation about national building and “commensality” that Jan Christiensen and I had yesterday.

A new nation is being born in the belly of the beast.

Without boundaries.

Centered at Lula’s African Village and Timbuktu on Center
At the confluence of civilizations,
Where the waters meet

Dear Grace,

I am a roofer who has been internet empowered by
Milwaukee’s “Bucketworks,” a “Y” for the brain,
To set up a web site,
Using “wiki web software,”
As easy as an e-mail address book.

I am also on the Board of Growing Power,
And have advanced the Growing Power cause
With my internet powers, e.g. the web site,
Plus about 4,000 e-mail “broadcast recipients.”

I think a good way to advance and protect the interests
Of the working classes in the “global class war,”
http://www.epi.org/content.cfm/books_global_class_war
Is to accelerate the internet empowerment of the working classes,
And aspire to create “regional cultures,” e.g. the Great Lakes Culture.

A Great Lakes “Middle Way” Culture

I hope to contribute
Toward the emergence
Of a “middle way” in
The USA, Canada, and
North America.

Not the East Coast.
Not the West Coast.

Not the Midwest.
Not the South.

But…

The Great Lakes.

More specifically,
The Great Cities
Of the Great Lakes.

As an emergent cultural region,
An emergent cultural “universe.”

An alternative to
East Coast and West Coast
Cultural Hegemony.

With the internet we could initiate
Conversations with kindred spirits

In Toronoto, Cleveland, Detroit,
Chicago, and the many small and middling
Cities that comprise

The Great Lakes “Culture.”

What say?

Why not?

If why not, then how about connecting me with
Some internet broadcasters of the left
From Detroit and your other Great Lakes friends.

Clear sailing,

Olde Godsil
