Gotta love Flickr = Another William
me: I must be repeating: 
Always good to know you're out there being You!
I try. Although more and more it seems the vanishing 
is the most important thing we do.
I spent a long afternoon walking through centuries past
in an antiques mall, so I think that inflected
my thing-like-thinking.
I'm away to bed as I have an appointment
with the dentist monster tomorrow morning early.
Maybe I should draw pics on my teeth to surprise him.
Or write him a message?
;p
me: at least tell him your thought that counts
they've started removing the teeth i can't afford to replace  3 so far  99%

Dear Bill,
It’s been a long time since our last communication and I feel really uncomfortable about this. 
Actually, I am a little depressed: the usual spring depression plus the political situation in Europe and in my country, in particular. I’ve been volunteering for some time in Piraeus Syrian refugees camp (over 5,000 persons, living in extremely crowded tent shelters, under conditions that make them losing their dignity as humans one day after another). I understood all the misery and hypocrisy of European philantrocapitalism. I feel sick and tired to be part of this Europe, I feel hopeless about all these people trying to find a safe place for their children. However, one good thing about this situation is that Greek citizens reacted better and quicker than the state itself.
Otherwise, I hope you and your beloved ones are fine ( I saw the family photo, it was nice to ‘’meet’’ you. Sotiris and I often talk about you; maybe, one day, when the capital controls will be lifted, we’ll be able to have one of your photos . 
I have already visited your new page and will keep visiting again and again. Keep up the good work.
Love from Greece, Katia

Aγκαλιάζει is good Katia +++
Thank you for trusting to message me.
Remember that in this usa - neoliberalcapitalist sucker-land ... we have not had real national calamity and grief since our civil war in the 1860s !!!! We don't know shit! Black and brown people here know what horror is.
White folks are clueless or helpless or self-protecting or ???
You are in the middle of STUFF Katia.
Comrades here - we do what we can and decide.
!Thank You!  We are all working for all of us.  Love, Bill.

from John:
The whole issue of Israel, (Palestine, creation, mutual rights to exist, settlers, right of return) is so fraught with unsettling expectations that it may be a roadmap to the "settlement" of left v. right, class division, Rep. v Dem, one percenter v. 99 percenter issues. Meaning: there's no way to get there. Not even war, unless one side entirely wipes out the other. Since we apparently can't resolve our internal differences, all the while expecting things to get better, how can we expect the middle east to do any better? My family, basically Irish-American, isn't as depressed as I am about the future of this country or of Israel, maybe because they haven't been in Israel or traveled thru the middle east or lived much of their US life in largely Jewish communities.
Thank you John - here, a zit is to suffer ... 
I can only imagine transplanting "Israel" to some coastal piece of here ...
