T “Clear the Waters” 12.31.06 A Poem for my Friend, Mauro Cerri of La Spezia, ItalyA cross on the waters Separates us in time But not space In spirit in mindAcross paths that have never met Never joinedStill in great respectWe search for that bondTo seek what we need Or think that we doThe mysterious ties that bind us As leaves in Autumn cling to the oakThere is no yoke to hold us No chains of unfettered vinesWe find as we wander On this fertile earthKindred souls among us In this country and that nationWho inhabit all that we touch Every feeling that we expressLike an opening suddenly closing We grasp beauty where we canWe see beauty and, yes, pain With both eyes fully openEars alert to new sounds Sprinkled like raindrops On a still, too parched, earthOn a barren plain or a desert landscape Laced with utter stillnessWe solace each with one anotherTake what we can From each given momentReplenish these watersThat flow like a rushing streamBeyond the pale of one experienceUnfolding into a complexity of existenceSo simple in its depictions Of what man has done to manOne voice speaks from this wilderness This landscape that calls forthEach to create what is of valueAll to join in the celebration Of the new And the old And all that is betweenCome together as one people In these waters that thrash and roilInto the dark and swarming waters With the clearness of the calmI bare my soulAhhhh, I am not a Poet Nor a Poet's son. I am essentially a Writer. I write whatever there is that needs to be written In any way, shape, style or form. I experiment a lot with language, films, paintings, and stories and Poetry because this is all training When I win the Nobel Prize in Literature For 4 consecutive years in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. At that point, I will rest for a moment and then create anew. Thank you.

My Interests

My main interest is discovering humanistic people who want to effect change in a small way around the globe by taking one tiny step at a time and discovering that there are many others who just needed a little direction, a bit of prodding. I am learning more about the wonders and beauties of the world as well as the terrible injustices and poverty which must be addressed and alleviated, once and for all. I want to know what people have to offer and I want to share ideas and plans to address what CAN be fixed with them & discuss ways and methods to go about expanding horizons both domestically and internationally in one fell swoop, so to speak.Life, Children, The aging process, the growth process, the revitalization and hope for a better environment and world are what I am about. I want to cultivate RELATIONSHIPS. I seek a few good men and women to come together and join with us. I seek Warm, friendly and interesting people who love me and are enthusiastic about the way I write and put words on paper via books, short stories, novellettes, plays, songs and poems as well as films. This is what makes me whole. This is basically all that I seek, that and Truth, in a nutshell.

I'd like to meet:

I like to meet nice, friendly people who become my friends over the long marathon run of life. I am particularly interested in meeting opinion makers, those who want to make significant contributions, positively, in the world in which all of us live.I am looking for musicians of stature who would permit me to use their original music in my films in exchange for screen credit and participation in profits when I sell my creative films to international or domestic syndicated markets. I am making a mini digital film, "HUM, a story" as my next project. Start date for principal photography is 2007. I will need a LOT of different musical styles.Have I left anyone out? I hope not. I am totally inclusive.I have many friends on the Google YouTube network, chief among them include the Elder Statesman I call him, (Terence) Urgelt. My myspace Friends who I feel as though I have known for decades, Gonzalo & Damian, Jason K. Roy, Rajat of Silver & Gold, Sanya Budna, Mauro of Italy, Naomi of Japan, and Open jam session.Although I supported John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Edward Ted Kennedy in the past, I am now on the record as heavily supporting the U.S. Senator from Illinois, Barack Obama, should he elect, or choose to run, for the 2008 Presidential elections in the United States. May the race and the winner go to the one with the wind at his or her back.I will be devoting a series of vBlogs on my Google YouTube network channel to further discussions of the merits of the chief candidates throughout the years leading into the boutique contests that will be waged by Presidential caliber candidates that I choose to be highlighted. http://youtube.com/user/dadhiltonmps

Music:

Everything that is good to go. I like everything musical, inclusively. In particular, Adrienne007 reminded me of GUSTAV MAHLER'S 10th Symphony. I am looking for that since it is hard to find. I intend to find it and listen to it again and again and again. I bought Mahler's 10 symphony on November 24, 2006 per Adrienne's encouragement and I have been listening to its majestic scope of the universe for the past days.

Movies:

My own films are number one with me and there are many that I have done that serve as test runs. I like Gordon Parks' "Leadbelly," Charles Burnett's "My Brother's Wedding." Ken Russell's "Altered States." Naturally, I am partial to these since I worked in significant positions on each. I worked in films in post-production at most of the major Hollywood studios from 1972 - 1987... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" ..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFNdUUyhFDU.. width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" ..

Television:

Whatever CircaRigel watches, I do try to watch. I am watching Babylon 5 now. If someone recommends something to me, I try to watch and learn from the experience. I like the Educational channels, History channels, Science & Technology channels, things like that. I have not turned on my TV set much since July 9, 2006. I have been entranced by the interactive and personal nature of the Internet via Google YouTube, myspace, liveclip and Stickam.

Books:

taosas; sticky my fingers, fleet my feet; diary of a blind lemon; the legend of tomahawk slaughter; top; Theft of Parts; billion dollar back; chantilly lace; inanutshellcave; redtopblacktop; the short five; picnic; when I was nine;etc. all of my unpublished manuscripts are my favorites.CircaRigel recommended that I read TAD WILLIAMS' "OTHERLAND" series. I am now reading 4 of his books. My Friend Mauro of Italy recommended "Zen and the Art of Archery." I am reading this book as well.

Heroes:

My Mom and my Dad, indeed, All of my fathers and all of my mothers and those who inspire me. Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., CircaRigel is one of these and certainly Urgelt, as well as Adrienne007 of Canada, Naomi of Japan, Gonzalo & Damian, Jason K. Roy, and Eemma of Sweden. Generally, I am inspired by people who struggle to make an impact in whatever fashion they are able to do so. There are many others around the world who are my Heroes and they always will be my Heroes because of the accomplishments that they have achieved vs. insurmountable odds and lowered expectations. I expect a lot, I am rarely disappointed.
