There’s never been a greater need for change in our world. With a strained environment, social and political unrest, and economic hardships, we are constantly being bombarded with bad news, bad vibes, and bad examples. Now is the time to stand up for our lives.

Give Peace a Sign

Gerald Holtom was a conscientious objector during WWII. He graduated from the Royal College of Arts and became a professional designer and artist. He was approached by the organization backing the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) in Britain in 1958, to create a symbol that would be used at an anti-nuclear protest rally.

 
 

The Weight of the World: Allen Ginsberg & His Love Buzz

Words: David Greenberg

In 1954 a twenty-eight-year-old Allen Ginsberg wrote a little poem in his notebook while he was chilling in San José. Actually, it started off as just some open and honest thoughts on life. He was a little high on weed, I believe, but straight enough to be insightful and open-hearted. A few days later, remembering the advice of his mentor William Carlos Williams, Allen re-arranged his sentences into a formal poetic structure. After a little bit of what his friend poet, Gregory Corso, called “tailoring,” Allen was finished. He titled his work “SONG” and it is perhaps his first truly great short poem. It begins:


The weight of the world
    is love.
Under the burden
    of solitude,
under the burden
    of dissatisfaction

    the weight,
the weight we carry
    is love.
