BROWN PAPER BAG

Image
At the top of this brown bag, useful for writing paper when there was nothing else available, across a flap folded down about an inch, appears what looks like some kind of outline, with numbered points: 1 ) a 'statement' about the QUALITY of the contrasted experiences 2 ) SCIENCE is a sterile approach to evaluating thought-experience 3 ) the 'mask' is the reason for the Black & White quality of Dorothy's Kansas 'life' which moves on to 'unmasked' delirium 4 ) MIND is both 'spiritual' & shared 5 ) JUL  16  - A young Judy Garland recorded a version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" during the production of a spectacular feature film based on one of Baum's books; it's about a place...  a special place where we all would very much like to go; the word  "Somewhere" implies that there is no map to guide us; no one  set of instructions for how  to get there. - Those opening scenes, where we first meet a...

This letter spelled out, to his 'former inmate-correspondent,' the facts and probable significance of the 'recent ( SEP 16 ) ' visit by Deputy Cruz; another account  of this propitious contact with the 'authorities' was carefully reconstructed  in the pages of this journal. Writing this third fictional  account of the author's meeting just underscores the confusion-factor's encroachment; an element  of this story fostered by advanced age, isolation from the 'normality' in the free world and this ...
