The Reduction Valve: March 2011
http://reductionvalve.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
A collection of poetry and prose by Doug Nussbaum. Wednesday, March 2, 2011. Freedom isn't about doing what you want, when you want, how you want, as you want, 'cause you want to. Freedom isn't about making your own rules- the rules are already set, and, chances are, what you want hasn't even been considered. Freedom is living without fear. That does not imply that if you can shoot or punch someone you are free. Being free doesn't mean that you haven't been caught yet. When the water in the glass realize...

A collection of poetry and prose by Doug Nussbaum. Monday, January 10, 2011. I would have always stopped to appreciate. The sight of the silhouetted forms. Of the trees up there on the hill,. And the sky, like a soft blend of pastel,. With just a perfect sprinkling of birds. On a calm afternoon. But now, with you,. They have so much more meaning. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Reduction Valve: Advice to the Band
http://reductionvalve.blogspot.com/2011/01/advice-to-band.html
A collection of poetry and prose by Doug Nussbaum. Friday, January 7, 2011. Advice to the Band. A good jam session is all about communication,. The elements of conversation at a party. Wild instrumental lines sounding kicks. Of various conversations all at the same time,. In time, where you can hear. Cymbals laughing in one circle,. Piano responds to percussion comments,. Crazy drunken saxophone screaming,. Bass jokes with congas,. Piano falls in stupor laughing,. Guitar sweet talking woman,.

The Reduction Valve: 5 Haiku
http://reductionvalve.blogspot.com/2010/12/5-haiku.html
A collection of poetry and prose by Doug Nussbaum. Thursday, December 9, 2010. From its natural appetite:. See how trees endure. Poems flow over stone. In most eloquent language;. So still, then pounces and eats;. Cat eyes aren't far. Stars float in Merlot. With moon and tree silhouettes;. I look up and drink. With the light laughter of love;. My eyes are blinded. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). On Nature and Divinity. I simply aspire to become a conduit, through which light and love may be expressed.

The Reduction Valve: Yearning
http://reductionvalve.blogspot.com/2010/12/yearning.html
A collection of poetry and prose by Doug Nussbaum. Tuesday, December 14, 2010. In invented earnestness of wind. I strain near deafness toward a chatter among the elements,. Outside deciphering what reverberates. Within emanations of a moonring,. Or what silent voice sings within the force that guides. The clouds across the sky in such rapidity. In a swirl of cosmos, vast and insignificant,. Great as inarticulation with a spiral of this mind,. I strive for reunion with kinship to the mystery. And comfort ...

http://reductionvalve.blogspot.com/2011/01/if-i-walk-by-myself-in-woods-i-am-not.html
A collection of poetry and prose by Doug Nussbaum. Thursday, January 13, 2011. If I walk by myself in the woods. I am not lonely,. For I am not alone. The presence of the Lord is with me,. All around and within my chest. The spirit of my children are with me,. All around and in my chest. Although I do not have much money. I am not upset. The Lord has never let me starve,. And if I were to starve. May I offer thanks before I leave,. For the smell of rain. For the taste of bread. For laughter and birdsong.
