“Da Vinci Code” Old News/ letter to the editor/published in TAOS' Horsefly

“Da Vinci Code” Old News

Dear Editor:

I finally read Dan Brown’s “The Da Vinci Code”—oooooh!

The sacred feminine subjugated, demonized, and dismissed in the name of greed, fear, and power-hungry politicians ... what a REVOLUTIONARY SECRET!

And She only speaks to us through the mysteries of symbolism, intricacies of nature, and intimate connection with what Jung refers to as our “shadow self.” OOOH!

I’m so glad a MAN wrote about it as FICTION so… Continue

“Zeitgeist, U.S.A.” Erupts - Now Can We Come Together?/play review by LS Lokey

“Zeitgeist, U.S.A.” Erupts - Now Can We Come Together?

Last week I walked into a local culture corner for some coffee and smack into a furious eddy of conversation. The topic? John Biscello’s most recent literary-cum-dramatic ejaculation, “Zeitgeist, U.S.A.” Not since “The Vagina Monologues” – which I also enjoyed multiple times – have I seen a gender’s voice so effectively exposed. I’ve been wondering when the voice of Manthing would cry out from the psychosexual… Continue

Learning Spanish

This is the beginning, as of today I am fully monolingual, by the end of the year I will be bilingual.

This is my first blog in my quest to learn Spanish; all the troubles, the trying, and chronicling of the results will be written here. I fear failing *again* but I think that writing this will help me keep going.

Visit my Wordpress Blog at http://mariflies.wordpress.com. Maybe, just maybe, this time I will learn.

I'm definitely… Continue

AMERICANS, not who we used to be / editorial by LS Lokey/published Taos'News

"The claims of these organizers of humanity raise another question which I have often asked them and which, so far as I know, they have never answered: If the natural tendencies of mankind are so bad that it is not safe to permit people to be free, how is it that the tendencies of these organizers are always good? Do not the legislators and their appointed agents also belong to the human race? Or do they believe that they themselves are made of a finer clay than the rest of mankind? The… Continue

ART FACT #1: IF YOU LIKE IT, IT’S GOOD. /Event Review by LS Lokey/published in Taos'Horsefly

Opening night of the 32ND Annual Fall Arts Fest was a fulfilling social event for those of us who never get out much but enjoy the random congregation of scattered familiars to whom Taos is home. Congratulations to the Fall Arts Committee for reaching non-profit status at last! Thirty-one years of diligence to reach a goal deserves massive props. If there were snacks or a selection of beverages, I missed them, so, regrettably I can’t offer a review of our hosts’ all out graciousness. The new… Continue

DirecTV Dictatorship (now in four rooms of your home for FREE!) or I didn't think. It mattered. /editorial by LS Lokey/published Taos'Horsefly

Newscasters seem so disappointed when impending cataclysms fail to be particularly, well, cataclysmic. It's disturbingly hilarious. Reporters doing their damnedest trying to tart things up, saying: "... the expected DEVASTATION and narrowly escaped HORROR!"

How could mainstream media ratings ever top 9/11? The current fixation with child sex-crimes might spike the curve a little, but all that "in-depth," "thought-provoking" coverage of psycho-social disturbance serves only as whitewash.… Continue

Just A Spoonful of Sugar / a true story by LuLu

My friend Leonardo from school has lots and lots of the biggest imaginations ever. Sometimes his imaginations are a little scary and he won't stop jumping up and down or making zoom zoom noises for a long time. He is very funny and most of the kids are his friends even when he gets extra mad for a few seconds and then falls asleep in the middle of the playground. (he NEVER sleeps at nap time)

He does art during snack time, plays kamikaze pilot during story time, sleeps at recess and… Continue
