Gentle kindness will be known.
The divine energy of love will be shown.

You will drink water from the spring of salvation.
Your thirst will be quenched by rehydration.

When the earth bristles from tilt, 
the bramble pricks your genetic guilt,
the green thread nibbles at time
or petals fall, leaving the flower stem defined
as mined for memory in mind,
water is fluid matter
that gurgles like joyful chatter.

It has direction from grace with gravity.
It finds its way past solid valency.

It runs through all the imaginable colors
though the color is a reflection of light from others.

It takes limpid lessons from stone
to shape smoothness for the throw.

Water takes no pride in the accidents of birth.
The force from the fluid form shapes shape to adorn functional worth.

River Polished Blue Topaz

Gems become shiny when polished by pressure.
The beauty is colored for visual pleasure as treasure.
It is a pleasure that lasts within the unmeasured measure.

Cut, cleaned and polished gem

The function of oceanic power plays out in waves
on the shore with the ambition of foam laid
at the feet of the observant trade
between the material forms made.

The lines are curved as shapes in time
to reflect the function of variables in mind.

Distance and speed are often contrasted as interactive.
Movement can be measured as material satisfaction.

The speed of light is a constant
that moves so fast it's like being conscious.

Energy is everywhere present filling all things.
It enlightens mind as a kindly benefit that sings.

A note is formed from a single place
in the slender fall through the height of space.
The note floats as flake in the northern case.

Now the pitter of patter doesn't matter.
The sound of movement falls in waves of patterned spatter.

The drops that floated on the water like pearls
explode in a percussion of ruptured swirls
from sky torn liquid hurled.
Waves are laid by wind and whirl.

The worn worth of soil is barren no more.
The sweet smell of grass is tempered with grace adored as airborne.

Condensation sheds sheaves from what had been built by clouds.
The ground is pounded where serpents had slithered out of skin shed as shroud.

Heaven's fields are set as dark billowed droop drawn in falling seeds of rain.
The seeds of heaven fall on my face as a sensation bereft of pain.

Joy falls fully in a sound that echoes like that of the soft place in space
that serves as the sky's muffled floor. It is the place
that the hands of an angel trace.  

The wind treads out the husks of grain torn from our tears
in the storage of harvest from the sheath of pain used to overcome fears.

Darkness runs with nothing but wild rain 
on the bleak hut of solitude that turns around me like a weather vane.

The memory of the dead slain in battle or portrayed as cattle are caught aloft
in the remembrance that I will die to the sound of rain be it hard or soft.

I give thanks for having been washed cleaner than I have been
before I first believed that I could be cleansed from sin.

Blessed are the dead that the rain falls upon
with the reign of release from error drawn.

Here I pray that none whom I once have loved
is dying tonight in terror or lying still awake like a sacrificial dove.

Not alone in listening to the rain,
I hear there is sympathy for those in pain.

There is hope for relief for the helpless among the living, the dead and the insane.
It flows like cold water among broken reeds to deliver us from all that is vain. 

Myriads of broken reeds stand still and stiff against the drift towards death.
Fear stands still and stiff against the end as intractably early to be met. 

I had a vision as clean and clear as a pristine stream.
It was seen as the benign transcendence of any kind of dream. 

The wild rain had dissolved nothing but the love of destruction for death.
The moisture in the air formed crystalline reflections of color by light lent
to form the arc of an arch for a passage through which vision for sight was meant.

This sight cut like a multi-colored blade through all the dark clouds that veil the skies
as a frown upon the transience of earthly things for human eyes.
The Light of Righteousness is revealed from behind the darkness espied.

Healing rides on the ripple of sylvan wings.
The human heart is struck by the beauty that sings
of the divine purpose for material things. 

Thanks will be given for the name of the Deliverer for this deliverance.
The art of the Artisan will be praised for productive value in existence.

Divine deeds will be known among the people.
Relief will be known for salvation from evil.

The maid was paid to clean as bade.
She sang and dance to enjoy her trade.

She used a small piece of gauze to mark her place
in the rustic space of the human race.

The inhabitants of Zion will sing out with love for life.
Gratitude will be felt for the reduction of strife.

Greatness in vision will be drawn from the midst of conflict.
The seat for sight will see what is drawn to restrict 
for our benefit. 

Preventing legal trade is not protection. 
Protecting trade routes promotes prevention.

Love for enemies requires the courage of a herder.
No one is to be killed unless it prevents the imminent physical threat of murder.

Salvation is divine.
I will trust the Savior as mine.


The First Song of Isaiah
Ecce, Deus

Isaiah 12:2-6
Surely, it is God who saves me;
  I will trust in him and not be afraid.
For the Lord is my stronghold and my sure defense,
  and he will be my Savior.
Therefore you shall draw water with rejoicing
  from the springs of salvation.
And on that day you shall say,
  Give thanks to the Lord and call upon his Name;
Make his deeds known among the peoples;
  see that they remember that his Name is exalted.
Sing praises of the Lord, for he has done great things,
  and this is known in all the world.
Cry aloud, inhabitants of Zion, ring out your joy,
  for the great one in the midst of you is the Holy One of Israel.

Zephaniah 3:17
The Lord, your God, is in your midst,
   a warrior who gives victory;
he will rejoice over you with gladness,
   he will renew you in his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing

-------------------------------

Love for enemies requires the courage of a herder.
No one is to be killed unless it prevents imminent murder.

=======================

Philippians 4:5
Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near.

----------------------------------

Gentle kindness will be known as shown.
The divine energy of love will be sown.

========================

Luke 3:8
Bear fruits worthy of repentance. Do not begin to say to yourselves, “We have Abraham as our ancestor”; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham.

Water takes no pride in the accidents of birth.
The form adorns shapes for functional worth.

Government

The modern nation state is a movement away from government that makes decisions based on prejudice. Science is the rule for order even in religious affairs when there is a measure for public concern.

The Prussian empire was called German in a movement away from the Roman indulgence of money and status as the determinant for justice.

Roman jurisprudence allowed monetary fines as contributions to the Church in cases where a homicide was not judged to be a crime. If the killer declared that the killing was not done with malice, he could make a contribution to the church to expiate his fault in the matter.

Modern nation states allow that killing can be defined as the crime of murder even in cases where "malice" is not evident as the motive for the homicide. Killing is only allowed by law when it is done in defense against an imminent attack with lethal force.

Physics

Michelson was a physicist. Stoicism had been associated with physics from ancient times in Greece. Stoicism was against the Epicurean position of finding happiness with any level of material attainment. It supported a 'results only' oriented achievement that tolerated cruelty in punishment or violence in aggression.

Stoicism

Stoics did not oppose the notion that the victor determines the spoils. The opinion that George H. W. Bush should have taken Baghdad after the invasion of Kuwait was Stoic. It was believed that it would have been a warranted punishment for the invasion.

The US president chose to direct the military to drive the Iraqi army out of the kingdom. Economic sanctions were also imposed.

Modern scientific method has sought to establish experiment as the basis for the determination for objective judgment.

Speed of Light

Michelson established a method for testing the speed of light with the use of mirrors. Mirros were also used to rule out the existence of ether in space. He did not have a religious affiliation, but his method would have been valid as a means for testing irrespective of his belief in a religion. Math was used as a means to measure physical phenomena in physics.

Albert A. Michelson
(1852-1931)
Strzelno, Prussia

Strzelno

Strzelno is now located northeast from the center of Poland. The meaning roughly translates as ‘don’t shoot.’ The major landmarks for the location are churches. The 2005 census found a population of less than 12,500.

The establishment of the city is connected with the duke of Lesser Poland, Peter Wlast (1080-1153). He was a duke for Boleslaw III Wrymouth (1086-1138).  Boleslaw was a king insofar as he was the leading duke for the area.

Boleslaw based his foreign policy on maintaining good relations with neighboring Hungary and Kievan Rus. He strengthened links with marriage and military cooperation to break dependence upon Germany and Bohemia. Victory in battle was viewed as a justification to build Churches.

Henry IV became King of the Germans in 1056. He was also called the King of the Romans and Holy Roman Emperor until his forced abdication in 1105. The authority for his reign was challenged by the Investiture Controversy with the Papacy.

This was a dispute over who had the authority to invest bishops and officials with public authority. Henry was excommunicated 5 times by 3 different popes. Civil wars took place in both Italy and Germany during his reign.

A Norbertine nuns convent was founded in the eighties of the 12th century in Strzelno. The monastery church was originally called the Church of the Holy Trinity. It is well preserved.

Norbert (1080-1134) was from Xanten near the Rhineland in Germany. He was a friend of Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153). He was influenced by the Cistercian ideal for the manner of life and the government of the order.

The Premonstratesians in the order are not monks. They are Canons Regular. Their work often involves preaching and the exercising of pastoral ministry. They frequently serve in parishes close to their abbeys or priories.

Peter Wlast was a ruler of part of Silesia in Poland. He is regarded as the founder of the Church of the Cross. Another Church was built for St. Procopius. It is a well preserved construct.
Prussia

Prussia was a part of Germany that included Poland. The House of Hohenzollern ruled Prussia for centuries. This house was characterized by respect for the defensibility of the castle built on the highest hill. The realm expanded in size by way of an unusually well-organized and effective army.

The capital was in Konigsberg until 1701. It was moved to Berlin. German states that excluded Austria united to create the German empire under Prussian leadership in 1871. The word 'German' was used to include Protestants and Catholics as Christians.

Prussians had a well organized military with respect for solid construction in castles and churches.

Albert A. Michelson

Albert Abraham Michelson was born in Strzelno on December 19, 1852. Strzelno was a province of Posen in Germany at the time. It is part of Poland currently. Albert was the son of Samuel Michelson and his wife, Rozalia. Both were of Jewish descent.

The family moved to the US in 1855 when Albert was two. He grew up in mining towns where his father worked as a merchant.

Murphy's Camp was located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. They started there, but moved to Virginia City in Nevada. His family was Jewish by birth, but non-religious. He was an agnostic. He spent his high school years in San Francisco in the home of his aunt, Henriette Levy (nee Michelson).

Albert was awarded a special appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy by President Ulysses S. Grant. He excelled in optics, heat, climatology and graphics. He graduated in 1873 and spent 2 years at sea.

He returned to the Naval Academy in 1875 to become an instructor in physics and chemistry. He moved to the Nautical Almanac Office in Washington DC in 1879. The office cataloged positions for the US Naval Observatory. It was one of the first scientific offices in the country.

He started his work with Simon Newcomb at the observatory. Newcomb had started plans for a new and precise measurement for the speed of light. It was needed as a constant to account for exact values in astronomical calculations.

He was working with Leon Foucault when he received a letter from Albert Michelson about creating an experimental basis for the measure of the constant. It was the beginning of a long collaboration and friendship.

Michelson left work with Newcomb to study in Europe in the following year. He went to the Unversities of Berlin and Heidelberg. Then he went to the College de France and Ecole Polytechnique in Paris. His first measurement was published in 1880. It was different from the on found by Newcomb. He revised his measure in 1883 to a value closer to what Newcomb established.

Michelson was fascinated with science. He knew that speed was defined as the ratio of distince in relation to time. He wanted to find a way to define the measure for the speed of light with an experiment. He conducted his first experiment while at Annapolis as part of a class demonstration in 1877.

He refined his Annapolis model. He measured the speed of light in air to be 299,864 km/sec. He estimated the speed in a vacuum to be 299,940 km/sec or 186,380 mi/sec.

He resigned from the Navy in 1881 after two years of study in Europe. He accepted a position as a professor of physics at Case School of Applied Science in Cleveland, Ohio in 1883. He worked on developing an improved interferometer there.

Interferometry measured interference. Light waves could be disrupted by a mirror for example in order to extract information from the interference.

He conducted the famous Michelson-Morley experiment with Edward Morley in 1887. The experiment failed to detect evidence for the existence of the luminiferous ether. The theory that light travels in waves assumes the existence of a medium for transference through empty space.

Ether had a religious association as the undelying immaterial substance for the unity of existence. It wasn't exactly like the "God particle," but it attempted to define the divine nature as a measurable scientific entity.

If such a medium existed, it could be measured when light was deflected by a mirror at a 90 degree angle. The existence of ether was ruled out by the experiment.

He became a professor at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1889. He left to lead the department of physics at the newly organized University of Chicago in 1892.

He married Edna Stanton in 1899. They had a son and three daughters.

Albert Michelson was an American physicist known particularly for his work on the speed of light and for the Michelson-Morley experiment. His work with light helped to enlighten the public about the scientific theory about the entity as a physical phenomenon.

Freedom of religion allows for the existence of a non-religious yet law abiding portion of the public in the modern nation state. An official state religion makes the same allowance. Which is better? There would have to be a scientific measure to test for results. The collection of statistical data would be instrumental. This collection would be suspect given the influence  of political influences.

Take the disappearance of the journalist Jamal Khoshiggi for example. The Washington Post claimed that he was murdered and dismembered in the Saudi consulate in Turkey. The Turkish president provided tapes that preceded the disappearance. The Saudi government arrested a number of suspects for the presumed murder.

The story provides an example of a litmus test for public prejudice in presumption. Evidence of a dismembered body was not provided as proof that the disappearance was a murder. Tapes were provided.

Implications against Saudi Arabia as a monarchy with an outdated form of justice in their legal system were made. Khoshiggi may have simply grown tired of the liberal advocacy of the Washington Post. He may have sought asylum in Saudi Arabia through their embassy in Turkey. The cover story for the event however seems to be orchestrated towards the promotion of prejudice against Islamic government.

A general trait of Islam from the western perspective is the adoption of classical literature as a basis for philosophy. This was done prior to our Renaissance and the Reformation. It became apparent in time that slavery was an attendant feature for classical culture.

The Muslims didn't allow for slavery as a characteristic of empire until the Ottomans. Both Christian and Muslim missionary efforts went global, but the naval power for Spain allowed for more aggression in expansion.

Insofar as Islam and Christianity teach an Epicurean form of philosophy regarding economic satisfaction, it was violence in aggression and cruelty in punishment that characterized the antithesis for the Epicurean trait.

There are stories about Saudi judges who have made judgments that are regressive with respect for the modern nation state, but there are also stories about American policies that have supported torture and state sponsored terrorism with the precipitation of profit from war by unnamed Congressional sources.

There is an oppositional type of relativity with respect for differences in culture, but the Muslims have parliaments that are similar to the western nations. Their executive leadership has a more conservative cost with respect for hereditary succession in monarchy or indefinite term limits for the chief elected official in republican government though.

The US government is so liberal in expenditure now that even conservatives have adopted a position where they promote liberal policy at a lesser cost.

If we want to be realistic about who is doing better, we might want to think that the US Congress and the British Parliament need to adopt more conservative measures for government expense. More conservative expense translates as more Christian or moral at this point in time.

Philip Dick was an American Science Fiction writer. He had Irish and German ancestors. He was born in Chicago, Illinois. Chicago has been dominated by the Democrat Party since some time after the election of Abraham Lincoln.

Alcohol had been prohibited in the USA by the Prohibition that lasted from the 20's to the 30's. Philip was born into this environment.

Many people disagreed with the law.  The Bureau of Prohibition was part of the US Department of the Treasury. Eliot Ness, another Chicago citizen, was a lead agent who sought to enforce the national law in the city in which he had been born, raised and educated.

The Democrats in Chicago established a hierarchy in city politics that contrasted the size and seniority of the respective ethnic groups. The Daley machine was an example of the Irish dominance. It took quite a long time to develop the machine, but it was in evidence from the 1960's until it was taken over by another group.

The philosophy that Philip Dick expressed in his writing was Platonic. His characters explored freedom in relation to organization in future settings. He denied that there was a world when he started writing his fiction.

The term the "world" often refers to the reality that is created by social, business and political organization. The physical environment is part of the world, but the "reality" of human perception can be so subjective that it denies the factual functions of physical phenonmena. Human experience seeks to come to terms with freedom in relation to the reality of natural and political law.
Chicago

The name "Chicago" is derived from a French rendering of the indigenous Miami-Illinois word shikaakwa. The word identifies a wild relative of the onion. It is known to botanists as Allium tricoccum and more commonly as ramps.

The first known reference to the site of the current city of Chicago as "Checagou" was by Robert de LaSalle around 1679 in a memoir. Henri Joutel noted that the eponymous wild "garlic" grew abundantly in the area in his journal from 1688.

Chicago is the third most populous city in the United States. It had a population of 2,716,450 as of the 2017 census-estimate. The size of the population  makes it the most populous city in both the state of Illinois and the Midwestern United States. It is located on the shores of Lake Michigan.

It was incorporated as a city in 1837 near a portage between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River watershed and grew rapidly in the mid-nineteenth century. It is the largest transportation center for the northern part of the country.

Chicago is an international hub for finance, commerce, industry, technology, telecommunications and transportation. It was the site of the creation of the first standardized futures contracts at the Chicago
Board of Trade.

A futures contract is more colloquially known simply as "futures." It is a standardized legal agreement to buy or sell something at a predetermined price at a specified time in the future between parties not known to each other.

Chicago has the largest and most diverse derivatives market in the world. It generates 20% of all volume in commodities and financial futures. O'Hare International Airport is the one of the busiest airports in the world. The region also has the largest number of U.S. highways and railroad freight.

The political environment in Chicago in the 1910's and 1920's let organized crime flourish to the point that there were Chicago policemen that earned more money from pay-offs than from the city. The Democrat Party in Chicago was divided along ethnic lines before the 1930's. The Irish, Polish, Italian, African and other groups each controlled politics in their neighborhoods.

There was a race riot in 1919. The riot was a major racial conflict that resulted in violence. It  began in Chicago, Illinois, on July 27, 1919. It ended on August 3. Thirty-eight people died during the violence. Twenty three were black and fifteen white. Over five hundred were injured.

It is considered the worst of the approximately 25 riots during the Red Summer after World War I. The summer was so named because of the violence and fatalities across the nation. The combination of prolonged arson, looting and murder made it the worst race riot in the history of Illinois.

The sociopolitical atmosphere of Chicago was one of ethnic tension caused by competition among many new groups. Thousands of African Americans from the South had settled next to neighborhoods of European immigrants on Chicago's South Side in the Great Migration that started in 1916. They had moved to be near jobs in the stockyards and meatpacking plants.

The Irish had been established first. They fiercely defended their territory and political power against all newcomers. Post World War I tensions caused frictions between the races, especially in the competitive labor and housing markets.

Overcrowding and increased militancy by veterans contributed to the visible racial frictions. A combination of ethnic gangs and police neglect strained the racial relationships.

The turmoil came to a boil after the death of an African-American youth according to official reports. The youth had accidentally drifted into a swimming area at an unofficially segregated beach. Tensions between groups arose in a melee that blew up into days of unrest.

Chicago did not segregate most public accommodations. The city was unlike some southern cities at the time.  Pre-1915 Chicago had a good reputation for equitable treatment of African Americans according to Walter Francis White of the NAACP.

Early 20th-century Chicago beaches were segregated unofficially.  The competition for low-end jobs between Irish and African Americans caused tension between the groups. Lack of regard for education was a major issue.

The Black Sox scandal also took place in 1919. Eight members of the Chicago White Sox were accused of intentionally losing the World Series against the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for money from a gambling syndicate.

Judge Landis permanently banned all eight men from professional baseball despite acquittals in a public trial.  Landis was appointed the first Commisioner of Baseball.

Philip Dick

Philip Kindred Dick and his twin sister, Jane Charlotte, were born six weeks prematurely on December 16, 1928 in Chicago. They were born to Dorothy (née Kindred; 1900–1978) and Joseph Edgar Dick (1899–1985).  Joseph worked for the United States Department of Agriculture. Philip's paternal grandparents were Irish.

The death of Jane came six weeks after her birth on January 26, 1929. The loss of his twin profoundly affected Philip's life. He would adopt a recurrent motif about the "phantom twin" in his books.

His family later moved to the San Francisco Bay Area. His father was transferred to Reno, Nevada when Philip was five.  Dorothy refused to move.  She and Joseph divorced. Both parents fought for custody of Philip. Custody was awarded to the mother.

Dorothy was determined to raise Philip alone. She took a job in Washington, D.C. and moved there with her son. Philip was enrolled at John Eaton Elementary School (1936–1938) where he completed the second through fourth grades. His lowest grade was a "C" in Written Composition. The teacher remarked that he "shows interest and ability in story telling".

Dorothy and Philip returned to California in June 1938. He was educated in Quaker schools. It was around this time that he became interested in science fiction. Dick stated that he read his first science fiction magazine, Stirring Science Stories, in 1940 at the age of 12.

Dick attended Berkeley High School in Berkeley, California. He and fellow science fiction author Ursula K. Le Guin were members of the same graduating class (1947) but did not know each other at the time.

He briefly attended the University of California, Berkeley, after graduation. He only attended from September 1949 to November 11, 1949, but was granted an honorable dismissal on January 1, 1950.
Dick did not declare a major. He took classes in history, psychology, philosophy and zoology.

His study of philosophy led him to believe that existence is based on internal human perception. The perception does not necessarily correspond to external reality. He described himself as "an acosmic panentheist." The universe existed only as an extension of God.

He read the works of Plato and pondered the possibilities of metaphysical realms. He came to the conclusion that the world is not entirely real. There is no way to confirm whether it is truly there.

This question from his early study persisted as a theme in many of his novels. Dick dropped out because of ongoing anxiety problems according to his third wife Anne's memoir. She also says he disliked the mandatory ROTC training at Berkeley.

Philip K. Dick was an American writer known for his work in science fiction. His work explored philosophical, social and political themes with stories dominated by monopolistic corporations, alternative universes, authoritarian governments and altered states of consciousness.

His writing reflected his interest in metaphysics and theology. He often drew upon his experience of life in addressing the nature of reality, identity, drug abuse, schizophrenia and transcendental experiences.

He began publishing science fiction stories in the 1950's. His stories initially found little commercial success. His 1962 alternative history novel The Man in the High Castle earned Dick early acclaim.
He received a Hugo Award for Best Novel. He followed with science fiction novels such as Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (1968) and Ubik (1969).

His 1974 novel Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said won the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for best novel. Dick's work engaged more explicitly with issues of theology, philosophy and the nature of reality following a series of religious experiences in February 1974. Novels such as A Scanner Darkly (1977) and VALIS (1981) were published.

A collection of his non-fiction writing on these themes was published posthumously as The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick (2011). He died at age 53 in 1982 due to complications from a stroke.

Dick's writing produced 44 published novels and approximately 121 short stories. Most of his work appeared in science fiction magazines during his lifetime.

A variety of popular films based on Dick's works have been produced. Blade Runner (1982), Total Recall (1990 and 2012), Minority Report (2002), A Scanner Darkly (2006), The Adjustment Bureau (2011) and Blade Runner 2049 (2017) were adapted from his novels.

Time named Ubik one of the hundred greatest English-language novels published since 1923 in 2005. Dick became the first science fiction writer to be included in The Library of America series in 2007.

Chicago 1960's

The first general election presidential debate was held in Chicago on September 26, 1960. The debate was between U.S. Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts, the Democratic nominee, and Vice
President Richard Nixon, the Republican nominee. The event was broadcast from the studio of CBS WBBM-TV.

Hamamatsu

Hamamatsu is located in western Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.

The Shijimizuka site shell mound and the Akamonue Kofun ancient tomb show that the city has been settled since prehistoric times.

Hamamatsu is a coastal city located 260 kilometres (160 mi) southwest of Tokyo.

The foundation for the location consists of a flat plain and the Mikatahara Plateau in the south and a mountainous area in the north. It is roughly bordered by Lake Hamana to the west, the Tenryū River to the east, and the Pacific Ocean to the south.

There is a climatic difference within the same city. Southern Hamamatsu has a humid subtropical climate with cool to mild winters with little snowfall. It is windy in winter because of the dry monsoon called Enshū no Karakaze. This wind is unique to the region.

The climate in northern Hamamatsu is harsher because of foehn winds. These winds come down off the mountain range. Summer is hot. The highest temperature often exceeds 35 degrees C in the Tenryu-ku area. This part of the city has snow in winter.
