Valentine: My Father's Last Love Letter

My Father's Last Love Letter (...valentine) 2012 – a note I have a letter to deliver. At least try my best to, anyway. It isn’t mine. My father wrote the words. Probably the last if not the last before that capacity, as others, left him. There's no address. I don’t know what's written - I haven’t opened the envelope, and won’t. I’m not that way, and that’s not the point of it. But I now who it’s for. The words are for the two them. I merely have to carry something from one place, one time, to another. Connect them. You might consider it the other way around though, that the two places and times are the same, and all I have to do is ignore the space between. Depends on your point of view. What’s space, anyway? Or time, for that matter. There’s a woman’s name on top of the envelope. Not my mother’s. Tina. The true love of my father’s life. I suspect the feeling is mutual. I met Tina once, years and years ago. I hope she's still alive. Neither she nor my fat...

Thursday Words: Cernobbio, Jimmy and 9-11

(2011) Jimmy, an old man, was a Japanese homeless artist living around a deli on 7th and Prince 11 years ago, though we had left the city a few months before. We'd gotten to know him - which was a bit difficult, trying to follow his discourse in a heavily accented, broken English. He might have been schizophrenic or more likely have had other problems (stroke), seeing as his mobility was somehow not qu ite right. Anyway, he never asked for money, in fact refused to accept charity of any kind. So we would 'commission' art and bring him supplies and then buy the resulting works, heavily influenced by his Onymodo, yin-yang philosophy. The balance of things. And there on the street he would elegantly move his hand and arm in the drawing of koi's in a pond or other, seeming happy at least in those moments. When it was very cold at night the help in the deli would let him sit inside the plastic tent covering their flowers. Still, as slowly he incompletely related h...

The Relationship Between Empathy and Reading Fiction (study) - narrative vs story vs plot; language, consciousness, emotions and music (part 1).

The Relationship Between Empathy and Reading Fiction: Separate Roles for Cognitive and Affective Components Independent Researcher, UK University of Winchester, UK Abstract Method (read the study at the link above) (or pasted in below the comment) 2014 comment: Narrative, as I'm using it here, is inexorably tied to present expressed time and is singular. I'm fairly certain (of course it's a speculation) its expression via language is tied to our inhibitory development (a smallish chunk of brain up front and left - mostly but it's more network synchrony and synchopathy, logos within logos, than... geography or anatomy...hoho - is sort of specialized in that way and one thing that distinguishes our species.) Story - not plot - instead is by contrast not tied to the present and by its nature, plural or having time-less alternative meaning , even conflicting meanings. (Ie: in the last sentence our language would embed story to fit narrative, so one should grammatically ...
