For Patricia Collinge

of Collinge-Pickman Casting, Boston, whose credits include casting for the film A Civil Action.

"Take us the foxes, the little foxes…"

KHYI just played Tish Hinojosa's "Something in the Rain."  Here, Ms. Collinge, is a rather strange website related to the themes of A Civil Action and to Hinojosa's song:

The Mysterious West

Thanks again to KHYI, Plano, Texas, for great poetry.  In tonight's KHYI playlist…

From Spike and Jamie:

WAIT A WHILE AND YOU'LL GROW OLDER;
NEVER MIND WHAT THE OLD FOLKS SAY.

JUST KEEP AN ANGEL ON YOUR SHOULDER;
AND NEVER THROW YOUR DREAMS AWAY

FOR THEY MIGHT SAVE YOUR LIFE ONE DAY.

SONG IS JUST A BOX OF VISIONS;
YOU CAN UNLOCK IT WITH A KEY–

A MESSAGE ROLLED UP INSIDE A BOTTLE
AND DROPPED INTO THE SALTY SEA.

SONG IS JUST A BOX OF VISIONS,
A JAR OF HARPS AND GYPSY'S EARS,
 
A LABYRINTH OF WILD ROSES,
A JOURNEY THROUGH A HOUSE OF MIRRORS.

WAIT A WHILE AND YOU'LL GROW STRONGER;
NEVER MIND WHAT THE SAD FOLKS SAY.

Random Diary & Essay

"an example of understand beyond language is still possible"

Such an example is one of the themes in a movie I admire greatly….

Ghost Dog – The Way of the Samurai.

The hero's understanding of what his friend says, even though he does not know the friend's language, is a recurring theme in this film.

As for me… "No entiendo.  Sigo trabajando."
