GUEST COMMENTARY
by David S. DAmato
The Libertarian and Catholic Social Teachings
oman Catholic leaders from Cardinal

scar Andrs Rodrguez Maradiaga to
Pope Francis himself have made news
this year in their criticisms of supposed freemarket economies, likening them to a form of
idolatry that exploits and denies access to the
poor. Because Catholic social teachings emphasize stewardship and aid to the less fortunate,
clergymen such as Maradiaga have taken aim at
perceived structural causes for poverty.
It is in identifying these causes that the
cardinals fulminations against free markets
become problematic. While he can hardly
be blamed for supposing that something in
relations between rich and poor is amiss, it is
his faith in the positive interventions of the
state that is the deception. Ironically, the
free market that Maradiaga so sincerely
denounces is itself a product of deep and
sustained state coercion on a scale not often
recognized for what it is. We must therefore
distinguish between two ways of employing
the phrase free market, lest we fall into
the trap that caught Maradiaga the trap of
opposing libertarianism in principle without
actually understanding the economic system it
prescribes.
Free markets dont have to mean the

is a problem with contemporary libertarian
narratives, it lies in their departures from freemarket principles, not in any hard-line or
cutthroat devotion to them.
There can be little doubt that Cardinal
Maradiagas heart is in the right place, that
his concerns about wealth inequality and
compassion for those in need are genuine.
But the libertarian opposition to aggression
in all its forms, including ostensibly legitimate
state action, is not at all antithetical to those
concerns.
Systematic poverty and exploitation in fact
depend on aggression. Catholics should be
chary of relying on Maradiagas characterization
of libertarianism as an apologia for greed and
widespread economic destitution. If thats really
what it was, most libertarians I know would
oppose it, too.

Its new album is titled Home

And many thousands of people
in Iowa know the band even

composed the theme music for Iowa Public

The irony is that the band playing
Rozz-Tox on July 2 no longer has a home.
While the group originated in Des Moines,
some of the sextets members have been
scattered about to Nashville, to Omaha,
Nebraska, and soon to California.
So the River Monks seven-week
summer tour, singer/songwriter Ryan Stier
said in a phone interview last week, is a bid
for longevity. Weve been really forced to
figure out: If the bands going to continue,
then we need to set some groundwork.
Stier was talking about the bands
touring base, but Home Is the House serves
as a stunningly strong musical foundation,
a record with a comfortably alluring
surface that serves as an entry point into
complications that reward close listening.
While home is the overriding theme of
the album, its engagingly structured more
like a developing consciousness. Stier said
the opening two tracks Overture and
the long-form Skin can be seen as an
emergence from sleep.

scratchy, nearly ominous rhythmic

backward squall. That sounds like
overkill particularly on a record

and execution.

ART
Art in Plain Sight: Cadence of Diversity
adence of Diversity is a joyful mural

rich with expressions of many
cultures that are balanced with an
underlying theme of connectedness.
The 100-foot-long mural is painted
on a concrete wall just south of Seventh
Avenue on 38th Street in Rock Island.
Working with more than 50 Augustana
students, Peter Xiao a professor of art at
the college led the murals development
and execution throughout much of 2009,
completing the work in the spring of
2010.
The mural depicts a wide range of
nationalities and cultures through its
figures, symbols, and landmarks, drawn
together by the word coexist at its
center. The main figures differ in age,
race, and sex, yet they are primarily
engaged in shared experience: music.
Repeated forms tie together other
elements of the mural; the same patterns
in the Great Wall of China, for example,

are unexpectedly found on the legs of a
spinning break dancer.
The figures and symbols are further
connected by a train, the Rock Island
Line, that weaves its way through this
festive, rolling landscape. The railroad
cars and ties along the tracks create a
rhythm that visually represents a musical
tempo and cadence.
The Rock Island Line was a company
that operated an extensive network of
railroads across the central states from
Chicago to Omaha, from Minneapolis to
Texas. Originally founded in Rock Island
in the 1850s, the railroads name serves
as a metaphor for the community in the
mural.
Also running the length of the mural
are the lyrics to the song The Rock
Island Line. John Lomax first recorded

Coliseum, and the Great Wall of China
represent different cultures and also
Augustanas overseas programs. Other
objects, such as the dinosaur fossils in the
colleges Fryxell Geology Museum, relate
specifically to Augustanas campus.
The word coexist is formed in part
by three symbols that stand for Islam,
Judaism, and Christianity. Appropriated
from a popular logo created by Piotr
Mlodozeniec for an exhibition in
Jerusalem to promote religious tolerance,
the grouping gives the mural a visual

focus; its familiarity draws our attention.
Yet that familiarity might prevent a causal
viewer from looking more closely at the
rest of the work, which takes far more
time to fully appreciate.
The mural poetically finds rhythms
and patterns in diverse activities and
distant places. It reaches for universal
themes but is rooted in this area through
its use of symbols from the college, the
community, and our railroad heritage.
It is also Midwestern in its stylistic
abstraction and rolling forms, similar to
paintings by Grant Wood and the other
regionalist artists.
The musicians and dancers that
populate the mural dont directly interact
with the symbols or passing train, yet the
locomotives winding path links them.
Each is connected even if unknowingly
through the spirit of the song they are
playing.

here were
moments
during
Fridays performance of Annie
Get Your Gun
at the Clinton
Area Showboat
Theatre in which
I forgot that I
was watching a
performance.
That is to say,
the audience
around me disappeared as I became lost in
the production, and particularly captivated by
Heather Baisleys Annie Oakley. This, for me,
was a true escapist experience: I was absolutely
taken in by Baisleys fantastic portrayal.
For frame of reference, Baisleys sincere,
charming, moxie-filled Annie is more like
Reba McEntires take on the gun-toting,
tell-it-like-it-is figure than Ethel Mermans
larger-than-life turn. Baisleys performance
seems effortless genuine and overflowing
with engaging charisma. On Friday, when the
performer first opened her mouth to sing,
and a voice with the velvety richness of Judy
Garlands and the tone of Adeles emanated
from her lips, I was already smitten. (By
coincidence, Id purchased a vinyl record of the
Broadway productions original-cast recording
earlier in the day but dont want to listen to
it yet, to avoid mentally overriding Baisleys
Annie.)
Nathan McHenrys vocals, however, are
similarly memorable in his portrayal of Annies
love interest and shooting-showmanship rival
Frank Butler. McHenrys baritone voice, both
when he speaks and when he sings, carries
with it his characters gravitas and bravado.
While the two blend remarkably well on
composer/lyricist Irving Berlins ballads,
such as They Say Its Wonderful and The
Girl That I Marry performing with a
beautiful chemistry that elicits support for
their inevitable connection they bring down
the house with their rousing, high-spirited
performance of Anything You Can Do.
Director Wm. Perry Morgan stages Annies
and Franks story as a show-within-a-show,
placing the cast members on seats along the
sides of the stage, in full view, as they wait
to enter a scene and deliver their lines. The
presentation is fitting, given that the backdrop
of this couples love story is the traveling
Buffalo Bills Wild West Show in which Frank
is the star, and, therefore, the means by which
he and Annie meet, as she steps up to Franks
challenge of a shooting contest. And with
autumnal colors emphasized in both Adam
Spencers
scenic design
and Jenna
Dambergers
late-19thCentury, ruralMidwestern
costumes,
Morgans
staging of the
story with
playwrights
Herbert and
Dorothy Fields
original book revised by Peter Stone unfolds
with a gentle but energetic pacing thats never
too slow.
That energy partly comes from some
enjoyable performances from the cast,
including Jenna Haimes as Franks assistant
Dolly Tate. With her Southern drawl and
slow, careful enunciation making it clear shes
putting on airs, particularly condescending
ones, her Dolly is a bitchy caricature thats
fun to hate, while Laurel Deckers Charlie
Davenport is easy to like for her selfconfidence, sly attitude, and bright smile.
As Buffalo Bill Cody, Jalen Lee sometimes
falters in matching Deckers showmanship,
but he makes up for any shortcomings when
he sings. And while Carly Ann Bergs Winnie
and Daxx Jayroe Wiesers Tommy are fairly
one-note as happy-go-lucky lovebirds, theyre
paired perfectly, as exemplified by their sweet,
romantic delivery of Who Do You Love, I
Hope?
Also well worth mentioning is designer
Cassie Mings, whose lighting effects feature
frequent shifts in color and position, but in
ways that arent overly flashy. Her talent is
best represented during the They Say Its
Wonderful scene in which, thanks to Mings
mid-stage lighting of Baisley and McHenry, a
set change takes place downstage of Annie and
Frank without attention being called to it, as
the people changing the set as well as the set
pieces themselves are seen only in silhouette.
In my opinion, the Clinton Area Showboat
Theatres presentation of Annie Get Your Gun
is near-perfection and a must-see production.
Baisleys performance, meanwhile, is one
that will stay with me for a long while, and
will likely be the benchmark by which I
measure the next actor I see take on her iconic
character.

Area Showboat Theatre (311 Riverview
Drive, Clinton) through June 29, and more

Think Tank: Creating

Positive Outcomes
escribed as a forum for the Quad

Cities areas most compelling
thinkers and doers, Bettendorfs Think
Tank invites the public to a June 26
Rivermont Collegiate presentation
titled Creating Positive Outcomes.
Considering its being given by
Bettendorfs Andy Yohe, its impossible
to imagine a more fitting title.
It was down along the train tracks
underneath the I-74 bridge, says Yohe
of the 1994 accident that changed his
life. My friends and I had been jumping
trains for fun once in a while, and we
saw this train coming by. But after I
grabbed the ladder and it yanked me off
my feet, I realized it was going a little too
fast for me, and I just instinctively let go.
I rolled away from the train and
thought I was fine, he continues, but
when I looked down, I realized my
right leg was about 20 feet away from
me. It flew off. And my left leg was just
hanging on there by the material on the
pants I was wearing.
Thankfully, Yohe says, a train
engineer saw it happen, so he got to
911 within a minute of me being run
over. If it wasnt for that guy, I definitely
wouldnt be here. Yet the accident still
led to his right leg being amputated
above the knee, and his left leg above his

ankle, plus the question of what Yohe
only 16 years old at the time would do
with the rest of his life.
What he did, as attendees of
Creating Positive Outcomes will hear,
was find the strength to go through
painful rehab and rigorous physical
training, and eventually earn two gold
medals in the Paralympics 2010 and
2014 sled-hockey teams. For some
reason, says Yohe, I really took a high
road on the whole thing, and really
wanted to focus on getting rehabilitated,
and trying as hard as I could to lead a
normal life. And Ive been working hard
at it ever since.
During his Rivermont Collegiate
presentation, Yohe will share tales of his
daily training, his 2006 recruitment to
Team USA, and the astonishing journey
that led to his life as a player, coach,
husband, father, college graduate, and
business professional. Hell also offer
inspiration on how, as he says, having
your own positive attitude really creates
positive outcomes in your life but
dont expect his presentation to be
devoid of humor. Asked whether its
tougher to win two gold medals or raise
two kids under the age of five, Yohe
laughs and says, Oh, the kids. For sure.

Theatre
The Suppliants and The Persians

Lincoln Park
Saturday, June 28,
through Sunday, July 6, 8 p.m.
ver its half-century-plus history,

the Rock Island-based Genesius
Guild has dedicated
itself to the presentation
of classical theatre
everything from the
comedies of Aristophanes
to the tragedies of
Shakespeare. If, however,
you attend one of Genesius Guilds
Lincoln Park performances between
June 28 and July 6, dont make the
mistake of thinking youll be seeing an
old play. Youll actually be seeing the
oldest play.
That would be The Persians, a one-act
tragedy by the Greek author Aeschylus,
and a piece credited as, yes, the oldest
dramatic work still in existence. The
only surviving portion of a trilogy that
won first prize in Athens City Dionysia
festival of 472 B.C.E., The Persians is
the tale of Athens defeat of Xerxes
army told from the point-of-view of the
vanquished, and also features what is
considered by many to be the first ghost
scene in Western theatre. Familiar area
actor John Donald OShea gets to play
that ghost in director Don Wootens
production, and the cast also includes
Melanie Radkiewicz, Neil Friberg, Doug
Adkins, Don Faust, Mischa Hooker, and

longtime Guild veteran Earl Strupp.
But if youre thinking that one short
Aeschylus play isnt enough for a nights
outdoor entertainment, fear not: Were
getting a two-fer! Prior to The Persians,
Genesius Guilds two-act evening will
find director Dori Foster staging the
authors The Suppliants, which made
its debut in the far more modernized
year of 463 B.C.E. Its the story of
50 Greek maidens, the
daughters of Danaos, who
were unhappily forced into
marriage with 50 Egyptian
cousins making the drama
kind of like a more densely
populated, creepier version
of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.
Included in The Suppliants cast
are recognizable local talents such
as Bob Hanske, Gary Adkins, Anna
Tunnicliff, Sydney Crumbleholme,
Alaina Pascarella, Jo Vasquez, and Sarah
Murphy. And while it should be noted
that the Suppliants/Persians double-bill
is Genesius Guilds annual presentation
featuring characters wearing classical
masks of the period, it should also be
noted that the ever-prolific Pat Flaherty
will be wearing masks in both of them.
I love the guy dearly, but just cause we
cant see your face, Pat, doesnt mean we
cant recognize your greed. (Insert winky
emoticon here.)

performances, and more information is

JERSEY BOYS
Jersey Boys, Clint Eastwoods film version of
2005s still-running Broadway smash, is a big,
bizarre, cornball, clever, terrible, wonderful
movie. Its hard to fathom what, beyond its
inherent appeal, made Eastwood want to take
on the project; this bio-musical about 1960s
pop sensations the Four Seasons seems so
clearly designed for Scorsese thats its almost
some kind of joke that it instead wound up
in the hands of a man who, stylistically and
temperamentally, is Scorseses polar opposite.
Yet somehow, astonishingly, the damned thing
works. Its parts may be stronger than the
whole at least if youre allowed to cherrypick the parts but the film is affecting and
entertaining and alive, and exudes more sheer
joy than any other title on Eastwoods 43-year
directing rsum.
In basic outline, Jersey Boys is a fairly
standard rags-to-riches saga, tracing the
career trajectories of Four Seasons Frankie
Valli (John Lloyd Young), Tommy DeVito
(Vincent Piazza), Nick Massi (Michael
Lomenda), and Bob Gaudio (Erich Bergen)
from the singers humble, Garden State
beginnings to their 1990 induction in the
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. But theres almost
nothing standard about Eastwoods treatment
of the material, which flip-flops so radically
between presentational styles that youre left
practically dizzy.
At times, the film is nearly as broad as an
old Jerry Lewis comedy; theres a slapstick
heist and a booze-guzzling nun, and Vallis
wife Mary (Rene Marino) is conceived as
a braying shrew whom Valli is much better
off without. (Youre left feeling that Mary has
been made extra-nightmarish just so we wont

device, he really needs to. And while,
unlike the stage show, the numbers here
are all performed realistically within the
context of the narrative, that decision leads
to a number of odd, awkward segments,
such as when songs from jukeboxes
comment on the on-screen dialogue.
(Stay, for example, is heard just as Valli is
asking, Why does everybody leave?)
Still, Eastwoods smartly designed,
inarguably unusual achievement is worth
seeing and definitely worth hearing,
even if Youngs deservedly lauded falsetto
is beginning to sound rather strained. (In
yet another strange touch, the Broadwaysoundtrack version of My Eyes Adored

Carbon Dating
Advice
Goddess
I am a single, 58-year-old woman with

a one-year subscription to eHarmony. In
the six months Ive been on, only two men
have contacted me. Of the dozen men
Ive reached out to, only one responded,
and nothing came of it. Im stumped why
Im getting such a sparse response. I am
attractive and very fit, have a career, and
own a home. Is my online-dating experience
typical for women my age? Sad to think
Ill face the next 20 to 25 years without a
partner. And I am not just sitting at home
waiting for a man to fall into my lap. Im in
a cycling club, a wine group, a music-lovers
group, and a craft-beer group. Yet none of it
has produced a boyfriend.
Cobwebs
On dating sites, where the face-to-face
embarrassment of overstepping the bounds
of reality has been removed, 70-something
men are hitting on 30-something women as
fast as their wrinkly fingers can hit send. In
other words, the youngest guy to even include
58-year-old women in his search criteria will
likely want to talk about Titanic not the
movie, but the boat wreck he survived.
Sure, dating sites promote themselves as
a bonanza-in-waiting for people of all ages,
but the truth is, online dating is heavily
skewed toward younger people. It works like
dog years. You may be 58 on your passport
and drivers license, but in Match.com years,
youre 406 going on 407. Also, men on dating
sites care first and foremost about your
four or five profile pictures (in which youre
competing with pix of women in their early
20s typically the height of female hot-itude).
Musical interests? Favorite hobbies? You may
as well list them in Cantonese.
But there is hope for you, and it comes
from behavioral-economics research by
Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. It turns
out that we decide the value of things not out
of the blue but rather by comparing them
with similar alternatives. In other words, you
need an anchor to make yourself look more
attractive to men, and no, Im not suggesting
you start accessorizing with the big iron thing
from a ship. An anchor is a reference point
for comparison. For example, after hearing
about this concept on my radio show, a
lumber-company owner started stocking an
expensive ceiling tile next to the one he sells a

ton of, to make buyers feel they were getting a

really good deal.
Likewise, as a 58-year-old who takes care
of herself, youll look far more appealing
in a neighborhood filled with 58-year-old
reference points than 20-something ones on
a dating site specifically for singles over 50,
for example, such as OurTime.com. The same
goes for activities. The best groups for you
are those where you arent the anchor making
some 22-year-old of average attractiveness
look hot. It may also help to acknowledge
and even try to laugh about how hard dating
is for women your age. Seeing this simply as
an annoying fact of life after 50 may help you
take it less personally. It could also lead you
to a greater appreciation of later lifes small
victories, such as when sex ends with a man
rolling over and snoring (as opposed to being
zipped into a bag by the coroner).
Hooked on a Felon
My best friends new boyfriend is a

convicted sex offender who has three
children from three different women. He

tried in vain to convince her that hes a

I explain that I want nothing to do with him
without ruining our friendship?
Uncomfortable
When your friend meets guys online,
it shouldnt be on MegansLaw.com.
Unfortunately, pointing this out to her is
probably futile. Were slaves to our egos,
determined to see ourselves as smart,
lovable, and making wise choices, even if it
takes believing the unbelievable: Soulmate,
inmate whats the difference? What you
dont have to do is accept their offer of a
ringside seat. Instead, tell her youre happy
shes happy but youd prefer to spend time
with her alone. Her knowing you disapprove
of him may put a gash in your friendship, but
it may be a smaller gash if you stop trying to
convince her. This may mean youll be around
when she needs you most after things go
south. Maybe you can at least keep her from
immediately seeking his replacement, like by
dolling herself up and lingering outside parole

ARIES (March 21-April 19):

According to an astrologer named
Astrolocherry (Astrolocherry.tumblr.
com), Aries is the sign of the freedom fighter, the
explorer, the daredevil, and the adventurer. Thats
all true; I agree with her. But heres an important
caveat. As you get older, its your duty to harness
all that hot energy on behalf of the softer, slower,
more tender parts of your life. The coming weeks
will offer you a great opportunity to work on
that challenge. To get started, imagine how you
can be a freedom fighter, explorer, daredevil, and
adventurer in service to your home, family, and
community.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): After a
thorough, detailed, painstaking analysis
of the astrological omens, Im inclined
to advise you to be neither thorough nor detailed
nor painstaking in the coming days. Instead, I
suspect you will thrive by being spontaneous
and improvisatory. Wing it, baby! Throw away
the script. Trust your gut. Play it by ear. Make it
up as you go along. If you find yourself frowning
with indecision and beset by lazy procrastination,
you will know youre off course. If you are feeling
blithe and agile as you get a lot done with creative
efficiency, you will know youre right in the
groove.
both those you dealt out and those you endured.

Opportunities such as this dont come along
often, Leo. I invite you to repay emotional
debts, declare amnesty, and engage in an orgy of
forgiveness. Any other things you can think of
that will help wipe the slate clean?
VIRGO (August 23-September 22):
When a Navajo baby laughs for the
first time, everyone in the community
celebrates. Its regarded as the moment when the
child completes his or her transition from the
spirit realm into the physical world. The person
who has provoked the babys laughter is charged
with planning the First Laugh Ceremony, a party
to commemorate the magical event. I foresee a
comparable development in your life, Virgo. You
wont be laughing for the first time, of course, but
I suspect your sense of humor will reach a new
ripeness. How? Maybe you will be able to find
amusement in things you have always taken too
seriously. Maybe you will suddenly have a deeper
appreciation for lifes ongoing cosmic jokes. Or
perhaps you will stumble upon reasons to laugh
longer and harder and louder than you ever have
before.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The

Japanese word tsundoku describes
what happens if you buy a lot of books
but never read them, leaving them piled up in
a neglected heap. I recommend that you avoid
indulging in tsundoku any time soon, Gemini. In
fact, I urge you not to acquire any resources that
you then proceed to ignore. You are in a phase of
your astrological cycle when its crucial to make
conscientious use of your tools and riches. To
let them go to waste would be to dishonor them,
and make it less likely that you will continue to
receive their blessings in the future. Take full
advantage of whats yours.
LIBRA (September 23-October 22):

Would you like to be free from the
experience of getting criticized? Do you think
it might be nice if no one ever accused you of
being wrong or off-track? If so, heres how you
should proceed, says American writer Elbert
Hubbard: Do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.
But Im afraid I cant recommend that behavior
for you, Libra. In the coming weeks, you have
a sacred duty to your Future Self to risk being
controversial. I urge you to take strong stands,
speak raw truths, and show your real feelings.
Yes, you may attract flack. You might disturb
the peace. But that will be an acceptable price to
pay for the rewards you receive. This is one time
when being courageous is more important than
seeking harmony.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you

could harness the energy from a
typical lightning bolt, you would be
able to use it to toast 100,000 slices of bread.
Thats an impossible scenario, of course. But I
see it as an apt metaphor for the challenge you
have ahead of you. I suspect you will soon get
access to a massive influx of vital force that
arrives in a relatively short time. Can you find
a way to gather it in and store it up? Or will
most of it, after the initial burst, leak away and
be unavailable for long-term use? The secret to
success will lie in whether you can figure out how
to create the perfect container.
SCORPIO (October 23-November

21): Be respectful to your superiors,
if you have any, said Mark Twain.
How do you respond to that impish nudge,
Scorpio? Are there any geniuses and heroes out
there whom you consider to be worthy of your
respect? If not, I urge you to go out in search of
some. At this phase of your evolution, you are
in special need of people who inspire you with
their greatness. Its crucial for you to learn from
teachers and role models who are further along
than you are in their mastery of the game of life.
I also believe it would be healing for you to feel
waves of admiration and reverence.
LEO (July 23-August 22): Forget the

suffering / You caused others. / Forget
the suffering / Others caused you.
Czeslaw Milosz wrote these words in his poem
Forget, and now Im passing them on to you.
According to my reading of the astrological
omens, now would be an excellent time for you
to purge the old hurts you are still carrying,
SAGITTARIUS (November
22-December 21): Everyone has
something to hide, declared Russian
author Anton Chekhov. Is that true? Do even you
blunt Sagittarians have something to hide? Im
going to say that for 90 percent of you, the answer
is yes. There are secrets you dont want anyone
to find out about: past events you are reluctant
15
by Rob Brezsny
to disclose or shady deeds you are getting away
with now or taboo thoughts you want to keep
sealed away from public knowledge. Im not here
to scold you about them or to encourage you
to spill them. On the contrary, I say its time to
bring them fully into your conscious awareness,
to honor their importance to your life story, and
to acknowledge their power to captivate your
imagination.
CAPRICORN (December 22-January
19): A German chemist named Felix
Hoffman had a prominent role in
synthesizing two very different drugs: aspirin and
heroin. In analyzing your astrological omens for
the coming months, I see you as having a similar
potential. You could create good stuff that will
have the power to help and heal; or you could
generate borderline stuff that will lead to a lot of
problems; or you could do both. How it all plays
out really is up to your free will. For best results,
set your intention to go in the direction of things
like aspirin and away from things like heroin.
AQUARIUS (January 20-February
18): This is a good time to risk
a small leap of faith, but not a
sprawling vault over a yawning abyss. Feel free
and easy about exploring the outer borders of
familiar territory, but be cautious about the
prospect of wandering into the deep, dark
unknown. Be willing to entertain stimulating
new ideas but not cracked notions that have
little evidence to back them up. Your task is to
shake up the status quo just enough to invigorate
everyones emotional intelligence, even as you
take care not to unleash an upheaval that makes
everyone crazy.
PISCES (February 19-March 20):
British poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge
(1772-1834) had an unusual fetish.
He enjoyed eating apples and pears and other
fruits while they were still hanging on the tree.
Why? Maybe because the taste was as pure and
brisk and naked as it could possibly be an
experience that I imagine would be important
to a romantic poet such as him. In accordance
with your astrological omens, I suggest you
use Coleridges quest for ultimate freshness as
a driving metaphor in the coming week. Go to
the source to get what you need. Dispense with
intermediaries. Be as raw as the law allows.
Homework: What are the five conditions youd
need in your world to feel you were in utopia?
