The Joyful Terrors of Owning a Home
MichaelBettencourt | Scene4 Magazine | www.scene4.comThe trick, I’m learning, is to make the
“going to smash” as spectacular and lovely and homely
and beautiful as possible.

Memorial Day: A Time to Love and A Time to Hate
Arthur Danin Adler  Scene4 MagazineThe challenge of True Believers, of Fundamentalism, all Fundamentalism, Christian, Jewish, Islamic… is its mindless, degrading nostalgia for the "better" way that things were.
Arthur Danin Adler

Guayabera
Claudine Jones | Scene4 MagazineSorry to say, as much as I try to avoid politics, I am acutely aware of its effect on my everyday life. There is a sense I have just this much tolerance. No more no less..
Claudine Jones

The Old Men Monologues - Part 1
Les Marcott | Scene4 Magazine | www.scene4.com
Well, this is it.  I mean they're taking my keys away tomorrow.  They don’t politely insist…they demand it.  Too many trips back home…and not making it home.
Les Marcott

Ode to Stephen Dowling Bots, Dec’d
Mark Twain

David Alpaugh

“Nina and Me”:
Jelena's Years with Kandinsky's Wife (Part 2)

After Kandinsky's death in 1944, Nina asked me, as well as many others, how to proceed with carrying out Kandinsky's last will. Everyone knew what was in his will.
Jelena Hahl-Fontaine - edited by Lissa Tyler Renaud

The Stranger Face of the Friend
Part Three
 I became obsessed with the idea of the “façade.” Worcester’s skyline was no more than a series of cardboard cutouts. How strange it was that they had no other side.

Brian George

ศรีใจ กันทะวัง
In each era artists never stop creating and what artists use as creative guidelines that come from things that are close to the artist, for example, lifestyle, nature, even.

I Deliver Meals to One of “The Boys of Buchenwald.”     Marc Bloom  
He’s Helped Me to Never Forget.
