This is so beautifully and powerfully written. Thank you.
My son, Jesse Damiani has been exploring the ways the internet and social media are shaping us as human beings in his graduate work at the University of Wisconsin. I am so thankful he is interested in expressing these ideas through his reviews, his essays and his poetry. It is fascinating for me to watch him combine his passion for music, art, and storytelling with his concerns about the world we are weaving.

"For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation."

"The true artist is one who lives completely, harmoniously, who does not divide his art from living, whose very life is that expression, whether it be a picture, music, or his behaviour; who has not divorced his expression on a canvas or in music or in stone from his daily conduct, daily living."
Jiddu Krishnamurti (via n-e-x-u-s)
"In the deeps are the violence and terror of which psychology has warned us. But if you ride these monsters deeper down, if you drop with them farther over the world’s rim, you find what our sciences cannot locate or name, the substrate, the ocean or matrix or ether which buoys the rest, which gives goodness its power for good, and evil its power for evil, the unified field: our complex and inexplicable caring for each other, and for our life together here. This is given. It is not learned."
