CONTRIBUTING WRITERS

Much of my writing these days is based in memories, often randomly strung together as they come to me.  Citronella visited me one night when I couldn’t sleep.  I have no idea where she came from.  She is certainly not a memory, but I found her amusing and I hope you do, too.

In Part 2 & 3 of the SALMON JOURNEY posts taken from Ken’s writingS, I’ve focused on what Ken finds disturbing about human behavior.  The title of this poem does not fully reflect  the meaning the poem. The poem selected does lead the reader to consider an alternative direction for humans and the potential for transcendence into a different way of living. 

In the essay, A SOCIO-ECONOMIC MYTH OF THE FALL, Ken adds meaning to last week’s post on MAKING SENSE OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR.  Although brief, in this essay Ken searches for the causes of inequality that exist between humans and the results of that inequality.  My notes are intended to further clarify what Ken means in this essay and preface the direction of Ken’s thought that will come in future posts.
