This website is not
driven by
perfectionism...
This website will not follow the common mold
of striving first to
be "polished"...
There are a number of reasons for this,
but suffice to say,
that I lack the time, money, and other resources,
do this this.
Plus, I have far too much "output", per day,
to put "lipstick" on all the content - the Ideas...
Furthermore, the circumstances
of my mother being a war refugee,
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
and someone not very facile with
English or technology,
and not having any other relatives than myself,
within many hundreds of miles,
and her being 87, now,
has required that I adapt - and that the content that I generate,
also Adapt...
​
I EXPLAIN HERE,
in a short or long version of my views on
PERFECTIONISM...
My mother has had this parchment copy of a saying by Erich Fromm on a kitchen cabinet for many, many years.
Erich Fromm had written "The Art of Loving", and this is one of her favorite
thoughts.

My mother, a year ago - one of her many times of illness...
​
All told, I have visited her while she has been in various Fun Times situations, more than seven hundred times - else she would have been pushing up daisies decades ago...
It was my mother's love - yes, imperfect - which has made it possible for me to see all of us as a mix of strengths and weaknesses,
and to internalize the concept of Reverence for Life, as did Dr. Albert Schweitzer, and to work closely
with a top Appalachian photographer for some years, now...
My paternal grandfather was a sanitation engineer aka garbageman,
in the ghettos of Philadelphia, many years ago...
He was certainly not a perfectionist ...
there would be a bit more dust here, say, than some might have preferred?
