in hard times 🗽


you find me listening


to Melissa

feelin’ fine


if she can make it
thru this mess
maybe so can i –


in hard times
i’ll be listening to Melissa


so i fell in love

i fell hard
for the territory


you know the feeling
another version
of your own story —


girl meets boy
cinderella lost a shoe
time to go barefoot
in my point of view —


these are the times

tie our souls
to our #ISMS


ain’t no way
you gonna step on
my decision —


your
patron ISM
your
fascion ISM
crony ISM
antiwoman ISM
ur #ISMism
ur #ISM
isn’t
These Are The Times
we could be
listening ‘

“Cells have walls – that talk, don’t they ?” the two main characters in my movie – are never in the same room … © cali lili ™ #socialdistance #cinema #movies #music

So,

I made a movie that deals with – pretty much everything today’s global cultures are grappling to heal – racism, sexism, homophobia + climate denial –


but, up until recently, I hadn’t mentioned that 2 main characters in the film – are actually never in the same room throughout the entire two hour movie.

The week I first published this essay was an appropriate one to explore that aspect – which sought to discover ways in which living beings persevere to always find meaning and – poignancy – even as we communicate beyond arbitrary boundaries.


My movie is loaded with tiny clues symbols + #codes / #code for those who are #game for the treasure-hunt + don’t mind #geekingout to discover some treasure.

I’m not a #scientist + I know u guys get PISSED when movies get it wrong – but I definitely worked, as a poet – to show my love for precious #Science

we all feel the wish to contribute where ever is possible …

This week I’m looking back at this essay … Realizing that my most comfortable means of expression is poetry, so sometimes meaning can be a multilevel multisensory experience …

l continue to be struck by the parallel nature of covid-19 virus + the behaviors we must adopt, then adapt to shield ourselves from it.

Once again, the mirrors in between micro + macro might hold meaning in such reflection?

Just as our walls are permeated and controlled by membranes (include Zoom) – so too are our cell walls.

I don’t pretend to do science.

Just thinking.

what if the cures originate in reverse engineering the protective behaviors we as “host” might need to use for shielding?

But first, don’t we need to identify the truth about the origins of this pathogen? In a climate dominated by lies , that seems extra important.

Here too, truth matters.

My movie and this essay are not science. Again, Just thinking.


My thesis for this part of the movie, was actually my exploration of the word #cellular or “cell.” The outer membrane of a #cell (varying from cell2cell™) both protects the cell but is ALSO often a permeable – “cell-phone” – mode of #transmission which is – of course – #communication + further interesting – is the fact that we call our phones – a principal means of communication / togetherness – “cells” even while – “cells” are a means of both incarceration and #quarantineCells have walls that talk, don’t they …


My fascination for the metaphorical “walls” that separate the two characters in my movie – but which also serve as a “means” for communication / transmission – seems so exceptionally poignant this first week of #covid19 awareness in America …

As my anxiety, like that of many – is definitely active whenever I fully attend to “what’s happening” – i find myself rediscovering my film, in ways I had hoped fellow cinephiles would do.


As more find ourselves in a state of what is being called #socialdistancing – I’m ruminating on this thread of the story in

Prayer 4 Democracy #musicvideo #Halloween #TrickOrTreat #Virginia 🗽 we the people #SaveDemocracy #VoteBlue #womensrights #SCOTUS #LGBTQ #BLM #ClimateCrisis #SpeakUp 4 URSELF + #MotherEarth #DemocracyIsAVerb

In 2012 I woke to the alarming sound of a proverbial Election Train …

Having never paid much attention to politics — that imaginary “Train” was a political “coming of age” for me –

My worries are always best addressed through my work – so – I asked my all female production crew to join me on pausing pre-production of my feature length indie movie + album – “eVe N’god this female is not yet rated ™”© – a movie + soundtrack (my debut album) that would go on to be an Oscars 2020 Contender — in order to speak up for voting rights and for democracy …

We felt so very strongly — that this nation NEEDED President Obama … so we made this music video in the hopes we might contribute somehow …

Today – we hear that the GOP + Conservatives are once again actively rabidly attacking Democracy + CRUCIAL DEMOCRATIC and FAMILY VALUES :

voting rights, civil rights, human rights, nature, wildlife, sealife rights, clean water, clean air, economic justice, opportunity, education and even healthcare —

attacking decency

everywhere

in our beloved nation

and on our beloved Mother Earth

Once again, we offer my music video

as the ringing of an alarm

A prayer

A plea for everyone in America to speak up for voting rights

To speak up for democracy

To speak up for each other

Amen

“Cells have walls – that talk, … don’t they ?” #SocialDistancing #Covid19 + the two main characters in my movie – are never in the same room … © cali lili™

So,

I made a movie that deals with – pretty much everything today’s global cultures are grappling to heal – racism, sexism, homophobia + climate denial –


but, up until recently, I hadn’t mentioned that 2 main characters in the film – are actually never in the same room throughout the entire two hour movie.

The week I first published this essay was an appropriate one to explore that aspect – which sought to discover ways in which living beings persevere to always find meaning and – poignancy – even as we communicate beyond arbitrary boundaries.


My movie is loaded with tiny clues symbols + #codes / #code for those who are #game for the treasure-hunt + don’t mind #geekingout to discover some treasure.

I’m not a #scientist + I know u guys get PISSED when movies get it wrong – but I definitely worked, as a poet – to show my love for precious #Science

we all feel the wish to contribute where ever is possible …

This week I’m looking back at this essay … Realizing that my most comfortable means of expression is poetry, so sometimes meaning can be a multilevel multisensory experience …

l continue to be struck by the parallel nature of covid-19 virus + the behaviors we must adopt, then adapt to shield ourselves from it.

Once again, the mirrors in between micro + macro might hold meaning in such reflection?

Just as our walls are permeated and controlled by membranes (include Zoom) – so too are our cell walls.

I don’t pretend to do science.

Just thinking.

what if the cures originate in reverse engineering the protective behaviors we as “host” might need to use for shielding?

But first, don’t we need to identify the truth about the origins of this pathogen? In a climate dominated by lies , that seems extra important.

Here too, truth matters.

My movie and this essay are not science. Again, Just thinking.


My thesis for this part of the movie, was actually my exploration of the word #cellular or “cell.” The outer membrane of a #cell (varying from cell2cell™) both protects the cell but is ALSO often a permeable – “cell-phone” – mode of #transmission which is – of course – #communication + further interesting – is the fact that we call our phones – a principal means of communication / togetherness – “cells” even while – “cells” are a means of both incarceration and #quarantineCells have walls that talk, don’t they …


My fascination for the metaphorical “walls” that separate the two characters in my movie – but which also serve as a “means” for communication / transmission – seems so exceptionally poignant this first week of #covid19 awareness in America …

As my anxiety, like that of many – is definitely active whenever I fully attend to “what’s happening” – i find myself rediscovering my film, in ways I had hoped fellow cinephiles would do.


As more find ourselves in a state of what is being called #socialdistancing – I’m ruminating on this thread of the story in

We felt so very strongly — that this nation NEEDED President Obama … so we made this music video in the hopes we might contribute somehow …

Today – we hear that the GOP is once again actively + rabidly attacking this nation’s Democracy + the CRUCIAL #votingrights in #Georgia – and elsewhere in our beloved nation …

Once again, we offer my music video as ringing of an alarm …

A prayer …

A plea for everyone in America to speak up for voting rights …

To speak up for democracy …

To speak up for each other …

Amen

“Cells have walls – that talk, … don’t they ?” #SocialDistancing #Covid19 + the two main characters in my movie – are never in the same room … © cali lili™

So,

I made a movie that deals with – pretty much everything today’s global cultures are grappling to heal – racism, sexism, homophobia + climate denial –


but, up until recently, I hadn’t mentioned that 2 main characters in the film – are actually never in the same room throughout the entire two hour movie.

The week I first published this essay was an appropriate one to explore that aspect – which sought to discover ways in which living beings persevere to always find meaning and – poignancy – even as we communicate beyond arbitrary boundaries.


My movie is loaded with tiny clues symbols + #codes / #code for those who are #game for the treasure-hunt + don’t mind #geekingout to discover some treasure.

I’m not a #scientist + I know u guys get PISSED when movies get it wrong – but I definitely worked, as a poet – to show my love for precious #Science

we all feel the wish to contribute where ever is possible …

This week I’m looking back at this essay … Realizing that my most comfortable means of expression is poetry, so sometimes meaning can be a multilevel multisensory experience …

l continue to be struck by the parallel nature of covid-19 virus + the behaviors we must adopt, then adapt to shield ourselves from it.

Once again, the mirrors in between micro + macro might hold meaning in such reflection?

Just as our walls are permeated and controlled by membranes (include Zoom) – so too are our cell walls.

I don’t pretend to do science.

Just thinking.

what if the cures originate in reverse engineering the protective behaviors we as “host” might need to use for shielding?

But first, don’t we need to identify the truth about the origins of this pathogen? In a climate dominated by lies , that seems extra important.

Here too, truth matters.

My movie and this essay are not science. Again, Just thinking.


My thesis for this part of the movie, was actually my exploration of the word #cellular or “cell.” The outer membrane of a #cell (varying from cell2cell™) both protects the cell but is ALSO often a permeable – “cell-phone” – mode of #transmission which is – of course – #communication + further interesting – is the fact that we call our phones – a principal means of communication / togetherness – “cells” even while – “cells” are a means of both incarceration and #quarantineCells have walls that talk, don’t they …


My fascination for the metaphorical “walls” that separate the two characters in my movie – but which also serve as a “means” for communication / transmission – seems so exceptionally poignant this first week of #covid19 awareness in America …

As my anxiety, like that of many – is definitely active whenever I fully attend to “what’s happening” – i find myself rediscovering my film, in ways I had hoped fellow cinephiles would do.


As more find ourselves in a state of what is being called #socialdistancing – I’m ruminating on this thread of the story in

#eVeNgodThisFemaleIsNotYetRated™☯️ perhaps we can schedule an online Facebook discussion about the movie in future. “

Movie out on #AppleTV #iTunes #googleplay #Youtube + #vimeo #worldwide (soundtrack available everywhere music streams )
