Zen Every Day ◯"To say one is revolutionary is a little like saying one is a Zen Buddhist – if you say you are, you probably aren’t."
– Lawrence Ferlinghetti

MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History March 24, 1919: Poet and activist Lawrence Ferlinghetti was born. Ferlinghetti is most well-known for his book of poetry, “A Coney Island of the Mind” (1958) and for cofounding City Lights bookstore and publishing, in San Francisco. The authorities arrested him for publishing Allen Ginsberg’s “Howl” because they deemed it obscene. However, a jury acquitted him in 1957. Politically, Ferlinghetti considered himself an anarchist. His politics were influenced by Anarchist poet and IWW member Kenneth Rexroth.

David Palk#RejoinEU 💖🇪🇺🕊🌈@kentishfran I don't know what drugs they're on but surely not prescribed 😎 Time for the padded wagon and straitjackets. Sadly, given that it's the good ole US of A, the rednecks will be toasting them with moonshine & oxycodone. Gawd bless Amerika (#Ferlinghetti et al.)
Today in Labor History February 4, 1900: Jacques Prévert was born (1900-1977). Prevert was a poet, surrealist and libertarian socialist who glorified the spirit of rebellion & revolt.
Excerpt from “Song in the Blood”
There are great puddles of blood on the world
Where’s it going all this spilled blood
Murder’s blood. . . war’s blood. . .
Misery’s blood. . .
And the blood of men tortured in prisons. . .
The blood of children calmly tortured by their papa
And their mama. . .
And the blood of men whose heads bleed in
Padded cells
And the roofer’s blood
When the roofer slips and falls from the roof

Coach Pāṇini ®The boat was good-sized, and #Ferlinghetti took advantage of the chance to requisition reading materials for himself and his shipmates. "We could order anything a battleship could order so we got an entire set of the Modern #Library [an inexpensive set of volumes of classic #literature]. We had all the classics stacked everywhere all over the ship, including the john."
