Perceptions
Michael Bettencourt
Existential Eeyore: Part 2
Part 2: The prompt for this essay and the previous one comes from my having been told at various times by various people that I have an Eeyore strain, meaning (I think) that I am a glass-half-empty person.

Life
Arthur Meiselman
Shadows-2
How could you possibly love someone else's life more than your own? The open heart of your own life lying in someone else's hands, helpless, beating, unafraid. How is that possible?

Theatre
Nathan Thomas
Art vs. Commerce
A person buys a ticket to a show. Well, what is being bought exactly? What is being sold? Is the show art? Can art be sold? Can even the possibility of art be sold?

Media
Les Marcott
Setting the Captives Free?
Recently while listening to Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison I began to wonder whatever became of Glen Sherley. Who was Glen Sherley you might ask

Living
Claudine Jones
Parallel Parking
is anything
really still at the wellspring

Pinecrest Rest Haven
In the Pinecrest Rest Haven Mr. and Mrs. P no longer remember they're married and they fall in love (and hate) again and again. Pinecrest has all the feelings of grand opera. Its residents have all the greed, betrayal lust they ever had when young! The play was inspired by Cavalieri's book of poems by that same name.
