During Covid, these last long isolated divine years, I've travelled in my mind but mostly stayed in the neighborhood, like most of us. Air travel, a thing I did most 3 times a month for 35 years, was taboo for me and my wife, until recently. This resulted in a kind of "fictive imagination" which I captured in my book 2040: A Fable. I found it both fantastically easy to sit at the desk during this isolation, and fanatically isolating. It was like going down a mine shaft to pick away at gold dust each day. I am sure you felt the same, No?

Everything I can get about racial prejudice, white supremacy movements, and issues of inclusiveness. I am trying to finish a book manuscript called Wealth and the Commonwealth: Back to Basics. It starts:
"While racial prejudice, white supremacy movements, and the issues of greater inclusiveness of diverse peoples are central concerns for the rest of the 21st century, the role of wealth and its relationship to the needs of the commonwealth is the least understood." Send me references, titles, pictures of the cover of the books that helped you refine your sense of wealth and its complex relationship to the commonwealth. Was it Thoreau's Walden? Marx's Wage, Labor and Capital. The amount out there is vast. Thanks.

The mystery of where my early foster brothers and sisters went in life. Back in the day, when my wondrous mother Lillian Anna Piasecki, took in puerto rican brothers and an asian american sister Suie Ying Chang into our small family near the railroad tracks, I felt them my heartbeat. I wrote about this in my memoir Missing Persons, but I thinkt he subject univerally appealing for others to consider. We seldom think about the kids our parents cared for besides our biological siblings, do we? And this leads to deep love and deeper memories
