    The -ism to which I am referring in the title happens to be Islamism (this time, under the threat of Boko Haram) but the term may (and will easily) be replaced by any other ideological fixation the world has produced thus far. As for the quoted part, “the new normal,” I have borrowed it from the heading of a CNN commentary by John D. Sutter. The content of my post, however, has no echos whatsoever of the said article. In fact, I prefer to omit a recapping of the related news in any of its details, as they are widely known at this point in time. What I like to highlight, instead, is my own entrancement with an -ism: idealism, that is. Just when I thought I had left behind my idealist stance to life in my early to late teen years, with their cruelty and my heightened sense of helplessness, world events of our so-called modern times capture my entire being to pain me inside now more than ever before. I take violence practiced on the innocent personally. I often find myself shouting out loud the same command: Enough already! Only to retreat to a safe ground – my writing. Still, refusing to rule myself out of the equation – for being physically uninvolved in efforts to alter  humanity’s self-destructive matters, I put myself to work as an archeologist of literary relics. In passionate engagement, I then attempt to contribute – on text – to the revitalization of centuries-old philosophical teachings toward an alternative: the opposite of barbarism. I have done so most recently in a paper that functioned as an epilogue to a two-volume book publication, World Healing World Peace Poetry 2014 by Inner Child Press, ltd. (I have already shared with you my poem contribution, “even time and space united“) – that are hoped to reach the hands of the member nations of the United Nation and the voting members of the U.S. Congress. Today, I am inviting you to my rather expans

    Grey Owl (1888-1938)

    Archibald Belaney was born into an English farming family and was raised in the Hastings countryside by his grandmother and two maiden aunts. He left school at the age of sixteen and moved to Canada shortly after in 1905. Belaney told people he was the son of an Apache woman and had emigrated from the US to join the Ojibwa. He adopted a native indentity and the name ‘Grey Owl’ (or Wa-sha-quon-asin, from the Ojibwe wenjiganoozhiinh, meaning "great grey owl"). After several years working as a wilderness guide and forest ranger, Grey Owl started to publish his writings about wilderness life. In his articles and books he promoted the ideas of environmentalism and nature conservation. In the later years of his life, Grey Owl toured England in Ojibwa costume to publicise his works and lecture on conservationism. His aunts recognised him but remained silent. It was only after his death in 1938 that doubts arose over his First Nations identity. The discovery that ‘Grey Owl’ was an invention led to some of his books being withdrawn from publication, and general disillusionment with his conservationalist causes.


    C.J. Dennis (1876-1938)

    Declared by his Prime Minister as “the Robert Burns of Australia”, C.J. Dennis is famous for his humorous poetry. Clarence James Dennis (known as ‘Clarrie’) was born in Auburn, South Australia, and published his first poem at the age of nineteen. He went on to publish in “The Bulletin”, and is considered
