shelter

If we can widen the range of experiences beyond what we as individuals have encountered, if we can draw upon the experiences of others who've had to confront comparable situations in the past, then - although there are no guarantees - our chances of acting wisely should increase proportionately. 
E. H. Car, historian

Shelter, Gimme

Oh, a storm is threat'nin
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away

Ooh, see the fire is sweepin'
Our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost its way

Wandering to the Source of the Intimate
"Another era of speech is opening. In which it lets itself put in question with a view to dialogue, dialogues. It is no longer only speech which allots to the subjects, from what is hidden in its interlacings, the task of realizing an appropriate denomination., giving to them and taking from them the word by a gesture alone."  on the next page, "The subject then accepts being unsheltered."

A 'Feminestodes'

"Even if women somehow gain power, there's still going to be some demographic that is the powerless, some demographic that is exploited and oppressed, because that's how our society functions. And so the only way to create true equality, not just for women but for everyone, is to found our society in some other idea, in some other structure. That to me is much more interesting, and much more necessary, than just putting more women on the board of Facebook."

Writer Jessa Crispin rejects today's mainstreamed, neoliberal feminism, and calls for a return to feminism's radical promise:  a radically reorganized society.
She wrote the book Why I Am Not a Feminist: A Feminist Manifesto from Melville House.

Four Preludes on Playthings of the Wind

                                                   The past is a bucket of ashes.
1
The woman named Tomorrow  
sits with a hairpin in her teeth  
and takes her time  
and does her hair the way she wants it  
and fastens at last the last braid and coil 
and puts the hairpin where it belongs  
and turns and drawls: Well, what of it?  
My grandmother, Yesterday, is gone.  
What of it? Let the dead be dead.  
2
The doors were cedar
and the panels strips of gold  
and the girls were golden girls  
and the panels read and the girls chanted:  
  We are the greatest city,  
  the greatest nation:
  nothing like us ever was.  
   
The doors are twisted on broken hinges.  
Sheets of rain swish through on the wind  
  where the golden girls ran and the panels read:  
  We are the greatest city,
  the greatest nation,  
  nothing like us ever was.  
3
It has happened before.  
Strong men put up a city and got  
  a nation together,
And paid singers to sing and women  
  to warble: We are the greatest city,  
    the greatest nation,  
    nothing like us ever was.  
   
And while the singers sang
and the strong men listened  
and paid the singers well  
and felt good about it all,  
  there were rats and lizards who listened  
  … and the only listeners left now
  … are … the rats … and the lizards.  
   
And there are black crows  
crying, “Caw, caw,"  
bringing mud and sticks  
building a nest
over the words carved  
on the doors where the panels were cedar  
and the strips on the panels were gold  
and the golden girls came singing:  
  We are the greatest city,
  the greatest nation:  
  nothing like us ever was.  
   
The only singers now are crows crying, “Caw, caw,"  
And the sheets of rain whine in the wind and doorways.  
And the only listeners now are … the rats … and the lizards.
4
The feet of the rats  
scribble on the door sills;  
the hieroglyphs of the rat footprints  
chatter the pedigrees of the rats  
and babble of the blood
and gabble of the breed  
of the grandfathers and the great-grandfathers  
of the rats.  
   
And the wind shifts  
and the dust on a door sill shifts
and even the writing of the rat footprints  
tells us nothing, nothing at all  
about the greatest city, the greatest nation  
where the strong men listened  
and the women warbled: Nothing like us ever was.

Iaseh Md Rian, Mario Sassone, 2014 Tree-inspired dendriforms and fractal-like branching structures in architecture: A brief historical overview

The shapes of trees are complex and fractal-like, and they have a set of physical, mechanical and biological functions. The relation between them always draws attention of human beings throughout history and, focusing on the relation between shape and structural strength, architects have designed a number of treelike structures, referred as dendriforms. The replication and adoption of the treelike patterns for constructing architectural structures have been varied in different time periods based on the existing and advanced knowledge and available technologies.

"Another era of speech is opening. In which it lets itself put in question with a view to dialogue, dialogues. It is no longer only speech which allots to the subjects, from what is hidden in its interlacings, the task of realizing an appropriate denomination., giving to them and taking from them the word by a gesture alone."  on the next page, "The subject then accepts being unsheltered."

Near the end of her "The Way of Love"
"The light that someone radiates is not necessarily perceived as such by the one who gives it to be seen. Perhaps it grants the peace that whoever dwells in oneself experiences. And, with it, the joy. A proof that mortals are destined to light, but a light often visible through the effects rather than in itself. And which lights up the night while letting it rest in darkness"

What brings us together and separates us?  Shelters from the storms?

"In the kiva, Jared observed that the village men 'like your uncle, your maternal grandfather, your father' are charged with the duty of passing on knowledge about the Hopi world to youth that is often expressed through song: 'They give you a lesson about the song, the story behind the song…mostly (describing) nature – the clouds, the fields of corn, everybody being happy.' Sekaquaptewa (personal communication, May 25, 2004) confirmed this, 'the words [of social dance songs] paint images of a beautiful world, prosperity, with the rains bringing all of that so that people can feel good about seeing this image as something they all would want.'

Postscript

Some time when the river is ice
ask me mistakes I have made.
Ask me whether what I have done is my life.
Others have come in their slow way into my thought,
and some have tried to help or to hurt;
ask me what difference their strongest love or hate had made.
I will listen to what you say.
You and I can turn and look at the silent river and wait.
We know the current is there, hidden;
and there are comings and goings from miles away that hold
the stillness exactly before us.
What the river says, that is what I say.

-- William Stafford
