For the ancients dance and will gift 

on the sky. For dreams and hope, dance

caught in that vast sea of crystal

unknown, where sleep is good. I ask,

here now with heavy eyes of lead.

Rest up, you sweet child of light, night

Boy and Sir, following Girl from Jamaica Kincaid and Ma'am from me

I was challenged by a fellow writer Nike < https://nikewrites.wordpress.com/ > to create two more reflections of Girl from Jamaica Kincaid. And so I did. What do you think? 

https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2447&type=status

DATES

• 24th- Pluto Moon conjunction- a horizontal line parallel to the horizon or a vertical line stemming from the horizon joins both bodies in the sky 
• 25th- woodchucks hibernate
• 26th - Saturn Moon conjunction; 1898 George Gershwin born, his porgy and bess is crap for me, but his 1937 shall we dance is , i argue, truly american, not black american or white american, but american. 

'Let's call the whole thing off' - originally in the 1937 film "Shall we Dance" here sung far better by Ella Fitzgerald side Louis Armstrong 

The dancing version from the movie, i linked to when it starts
https://youtu.be/qRrw2hDjnl4?t=129
They Can't Take That Away from Me- originally in the 1937 film "Shall we Dance" from the male character but written where it can be applied from any one to another... here sung far better by Ella Fitzgerald 

• 27th- Moon closest to earth, a perigee

In 2018, A 2,066-pound pumpkin grown by  Steve Geddes of Boscawen, he held the world record in 2012 for largest pumpkin.

 Catholic saint day to Vincent de Paul- patron of charity- benevolence to the poor, or good working to the financially weakest, a literary note, the word was used hundreds of years ago as a synonym for christian activity.

• 28th- Neptune Moon conjunction
• 29th- Full Moon, called a Harvest Moon as this Moon is when harvesting should begin in north eastern united states. ; Moon on equator means the closest thing to a line can be made from earth's center to the moon's, in an instant.

If you want a taste of the kind of storytelling , here is a teleplay from the Twilight Zone derived from Beaumont's "Beautiful People" titled: "Number 12 looks just like you"

Indigenous suffering

No one has had it worse than the Native American. I will always wonder when a native american will ignite the biggest bomb ever in the usa.

How do you define Black Greatness

My Answer

I define Black Greatness, absent any desire to influence another's definition, as contentment. 

I think when Black folk are happy, nothing like it exists anywhere else in humanity. 

What is yours?

CENTO Series episode 17

Only one cento for this episode, for I wanted to share a little fictional prose. 

Oh griot, sing from tween the years when the ant hordes drank Gold Mushrooms and the silver tree barks, and the years of the rise of the Daughters of Kus, there was an age undreamed of, when beaming gardens lay spread across the world like free rainbows beneath the stars.

the original quote is below , do you know who is it from? say in comments, I will not tell.:) 

Know, oh prince, that between the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities, and the years of the rise of the Sons of Aryas, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars.

• 22nd- Moon closest to the south pole, greatest angle from equator going south; Mercury greatest distance from sun in the sky , elongation
• 23rd- September Equinox, the beginning of Spring in the southern hemisphere while the beginning of Autumn in the northern hemisphere. Equinox means equal night. In this day, as in the other equinox,  the equator of the earth if expanded like a disk for in an instant makes the smallest angle between itself and the center of the sun. Or you can say, if a line was made between the center of the earth side the center of the sun, the equator will be at said line.

Left hand tutorials

When I was a child I used both my hands. Unfortunately, influence from the majority is never insequential, positively or negatively, and I didn't do it as much. But I utilize the tutorials in Deviantart to spend time drawing with my left hand.  No reason exists why all humans beings aren't reared to use both outside of poor rearing systems.

I place the list of tutorials at the following post, they are all graphite, but have fun. 

https://aalbc.com/tc/profile/6477-richardmurray/?status=2435&type=status

A fellow artists I am attached to on Deviantart just made over 5,000 watchers. Which is worthy of acclaim on a specialized site like Deviantart which is truly built for artists of all mediums/styles/disciplines, but not really the social landscapers , human or electronic,  that poison all the largest websites based on their populace of users. I made a little artwork for them. 

Sudowoodo

I made a Sudowoodo for a positive donation pool, if you make an artwork, nature conservancy gets two dollars. I did similar before with a make a wish collaboration. So, Sudowoodo can be considered my favorite pokemon based on art, even though I argue sableeye is my favorite in game playing.

All three Sudowoodo are cited in the Black Games Elite post below. Join the group , it will get better, but regardless , have fun.

The New Space Engine

Particle physics is just that the comprehension of the physicality of particles in them selves and unto each other. 
Now comprehend in the following explanation these are all names, you are free to use whatever names you want. Just because somebody said to call something one thing, doesn't mean you have to. Just because everyone around you uses a word for one thing, doesn't mean you have to.  I will use commonly used terms simply for others to check what i say or search on available tools, not cause I wish to carry or support the nomenclature.

Now you have compounds like "H20" which is two "hydrogen atoms" with one "oxygen atom". But "hydrogen atoms" plus "oxygen atoms" or all others on the "periodic table of elements" are composed of "electrons"/"protons"/"neutrons" or emit "photons" or "neutrinos" plus other things. You comprehend the term particle physics. To comprehend the "hydrogen atom" you need to comprehend the "electron" plus other particles. 

"protons" + "neutrons" are composed of "quarks" + "gluons". 
The "electron"  or "neutrino" or "photons" or "muons" + "quarks"  or "gluons" are commonly known to be absent composite parts. But they each have different times of life. As you know, "photons" in certain conditions is the basis for visible light. "Electrons" or "Protons" or "Neutrons" make up human side all other complex biochemical system's, including the earth itself. They don't operate like "photons", or you will see everybody in a flash. 

"gluons" are considered unstable. A nice way to think of it is the basis behind "Nuclear fission". In "nuclear fission",  elements of the "periodic table" some call heavy based on the quantity of "protons" or "electrons" or "neutrons" like "Uranium"<circa 96 protons> for example have a natural decay. Which means what? Like the human body decays at death, unstable. "uranium" does the same thing, as a much smaller entity than a human body , and slowly losses "electrons"/"protons" /"neutrons" becoming lighter and lighter till "Iron" <circa 26 protons> if I am correct. The release of the particles is energy and that energy can heat things, like water. ala a "Nuclear power plant".

So comprehending the very tiniest of particles can help explain in more detail the grandest of actions. The race to a nuclear powered space ship engine will be better designed if the smallest of particles actions can be more easily calculated.

Black Speak

Someone on AALBC, Troy, , made an argument against my use of words. And I realized that the problem hasn't been in this instance or times before with others, that word use was different between me side another black person. The problem was I was unwilling to succumb to the majority in the black community in such an elemental aspect as language. And it connects to other aspects. I wonder how many Black people in Black groups in the USA oppose other Black groups in the USA merely cause they are the minority? The word democracy means rule of the people. But the people always rule. The question is, do the majority rule? When is individualism allowed, when the individual joins the majority only? All Language warrant management over time. Why? Cause sooner or later an individuals language can be damaging to a populace and can become a groups in said populaces language. Where in it can only lead to doom cause you can't bridge languages by definition opposed to each other.

The introduction

The Photomanipulated work for Olgola's invitational, the story connects.

Week 2 of Bettsfic writing workshop

Main post where I describe elements of me paying attention in the week and developing a story concept based on it

Poetry based on things i paid attention to

Stageplay, using the character of Sarah from Innocent Little Margaret , having elements from the Pay Attention

What artists has truly inspired you, pick one? 

asked by RTNightmare

August Wilson, the playwright. He wrote the play Fences which was made into a film with Viola Davis side Denzel Washington. I also saw those thespians on stage.

why has august wilson inspired me more than other artists who have inspired me? 

I must first say I can make this comment book length on why. But, I will focus on how August Wilson inspires me in an uncommon way. 

...

Art in all forms or fashions is unbounded in what humans can create/intake from it. Unfortunately while inevitably, all art is influenced by the relationship humans have to each other. Art from individuals in a human community that is subservient to another human community can become trapped in or show shackles from the reality beyond the individual imagination. 

August Wilson's plays are clearly set in Black communal spaces in the usa, but are not devoid the presence of potency from the white community in the usa. While the black characters or their space is not caricatured, an exaggeration, nor is the potency from whites outside of black spaces caricatured. 

Finally, the resulting message, all art has messages <yes, even the absence of a message is a message> , doesn't pigeonhole the spectator whether Black or non Black into a guided mindset. 

All my words above are give a short explanation to the difficulty in making art that publicly involves race while not caricaturing any race or guiding the mindset of those who ingest said art on how they shall think. 

The audience is not a fool, no one is, we all know the world beyond the individual imagination, whether we like it or not. 

But seeing with my own eyes, various peoples who clearly share different opinions, leave a theater with the same mindset they came in while experiencing a story that is specific and in every element relates to the various battles or histories outside the theater. 

That is not common for artists. 

To be blunt, Barbie from ruth handler, for colored girls from Ntozake Shange , Huckleberry finn from mark twain, various films from spike lee, the little mermaid films from disney... a long list of highly acclaimed beloved art, doesn't allow for interaction by all races without caricaturing a race or trying to massage minds to change while being clearly racial in design. 

That unique quality is what August Wilson was able to achieve as a writer and that ability to achieve a unique quality puts the spirt in me to achieve different but just as unique qualities in my own craft.

I Sit And Think 

from JRR Tolkien

I sit beside the fire and think
of all that I have seen,
of meadow-flowers and butterflies
in summers that have been;

Of yellow leaves and gossamer
in autumns that there were,
with morning mist and silver sun
and wind upon my hair.

I sit beside the fire and think
of how the world will be
when winter comes without a spring
that I shall never see.

For still there are so many things
that I have never seen:
in every wood in every spring
there is a different green.

I sit beside the fire and think
of people long ago,
and people who will see a world
that I shall never know.

But all the while I sit and think
of times there were before,
I listen for returning feet
and voices at the door.

A Couple That Stretches Together Stays Together

Harlem of Yore

1930 Harlem, I think circa 135th street madison

Enlistment into Ethiopia, which is why Ras Tafari commonly called Haille Selassie publicly offered land in Ethiopia in Harlem afterward. Ras Tafarians from Jamaica took the chance but it was meant for Black Harlemites.

Do you say what you really want if empowered?

From said time in Harlem to now, many black people in the USA suggest they want a world of equality but is that true? I argue many groups in the USA, not empowered, don't want equality, simply want to replace white/christian/heterosexual/men... but is that a negative desire, now that is the question?

Accessibility Interview

My Thoughts

I thought about accessibility. If accessibility was considered from the beginning of most processes it would undo alot of the schemes/scams/ aspects of entertainment/social media/wesbites or other. 
For example, I like the mandolorian show from Disney. If someone is blind and they can't see the Mandolorian maybe they have an audio read version available. So they can hear each episode absent commercials. But imagine if you are listening to an on demand film, like Godzilla,  like from TNT of the warner bros group in Discovery. Imagine you hear:"this thing killed my wife!, have you ever had bad bowels, Well try..." The commercial break is by default a terrible element. For someone who can only hear they are bound to hear a commercial where those with sight can mute and move on and come back. 
Accessibility if engineered optimally will delete many methods of commercialization in entertainment or media through electronic means.

Is Anime Art

The following is a question and answer I placed for the description

Do you think anime is art? Why/why not?

of course anime is art, to be blunt, anime is an artistic movement that is centuries old based on art from Nippon, that like all movements has variations. 

What do you think as beauty in Art?
Beauty in art is complex because, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

- As a viewer, what is the first thing you look for in artwork?
first thing, i tend to find in art, not look for in art, but I read and view a lot of various art styles. One of the things about growing up in NYC as a kid, I was fortunate to have parents utilize the cities museums which cover all styles of art.

- As an artist, what do you value the most while creating?
spreading my imagination

DATES

• 13th- Venus is between the Earth and Sun
• 15th- Venus|Moon conjunction; Ignacio Anaya Garcia born 1895, inventor of the nacho
• 16th- New Moon ; Moon at Apogee- Moon is farthest from earth while the moon is on the ecliptic, the path of the sun in the sky , but on the opposite side of earth, thus it can not be seen cause it is in the earth's shadow. I think this should make this the least dark new moon as the moon is farthest from earth.

Cat's have nine lives:) ; 1978 first atlantic ocean crossing balloon flight, the Double Eagle 2 < Balloons are not dirigibles, balloons use a flexible material to house the material at rest or excited, like hot air, while a dirigible places material in a rigid structure. So for example, a balloon or a dirigible can be filled with hydrogen, a gas lighter than air. The Balloon casing will be lighter than the dirigible which is solid but the dirigible casing will protect the volatile hydrogen from being influenced from outside better on average than a balloon the casing plus the dirigible casing will allow greater pressures inside on average than a balloon casing. In parallel, the balloon casing is lighter so you need less hydrogen. The first dirigible to cross the atlantic ocean was the Deutsches Luftschiff Zeppelin 127 of germany in 1928>
• 18th- Mercury|Moon = Mars|Moon conjunction
• 19th - Moon on Equator. The center of the moon plus the center of the earth make a straight line at the equator of the earth.

What is a B movie

Explained in a short history from Turner Classic Movies

But, before you view.  My thought...

At the end of the day, the studio system for the television was treated like the railroads for the car. Two working systems were busted up under the guise of antitrust, but functionally to aid a new industry in not having to deal with an old one that will be in recovery because of the changes. You can add it is like the Ma Bell being broken up when the Internet starts rolling strong. 
In retrospect , the film industry never recovered and now like Ma bell, like the trains, has recombinated after being forcefully broken up but the damage of those years has hurt the financial methodology.

Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening, wherever you are reading. 

Welcome to the 14th edition of the 2023 Richard Murray Newsletter . A closing thought on Women's history month in the U.S.A. from a heterosexual male.  Shani and the shadow in the Richard Murray Tip Jar. Some dates in April. In, IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR, a question and answer from Jasmine Marie of Black Girls Breathing. South Side Home Movie Project 3/29/2023 webinar review. 

My Closing Thought on Women's History Month

I will start with the unimportant line, women's history is all year round. Women's history proves, an individual woman, a sole woman, one woman alone, can achieve anything. I repeat, history prove a female individual, girl or woman, immature or mature, can achieve anything, even against any level of male dominance. But history displays the biggest challenge in the community of women is growing greater as a group aside the community of men. The female collective in the last three centuries hasn't been able to overcome male dominance. Comprehend, dominance isn't evil. Sometimes the older are stronger than the youth. Sometimes the muslim are stronger than the christian. Sometimes the farmers are greater than the soldiers. The point is, in humanity, some communities are on a positive upswing while others are on a downswing, all the time. This is humanity. Females, girls plus women, need to figure out how to have a collective upswing. As a heterosexual man, women's strength doesn't frighten me or lessen me. When any other is stronger than you, if you want to be stronger than you have to become that. The challenge isn't a threat, it is merely a reality you make yourself. And, if you have no desire to be stronger than another, then you don't, and that is completely fine. But if you want to be stronger than any other by any measure, then the challenge is merely there.

Shani and the Shadow

A Upendi style poem. In my notes I have this as Shani and the Lion series. Where Shani goes from town to town. Facing a Lion that changes forms. If you like this story, maybe I will do another. The complete tale is linked as an audiobook below. An excerpt is available on Tiktok or youtube below.
