Lyrics: A little child inside Hears owls hoot The radiant evening’s soon Games are played Streetlight Approved In the Crackle of the Wind A little Raven head steps up to the stool to see the moon from a ragged room A night dress is hemmed at a mother’s spool In the Crackle of the Wind And I can hear the wind sing Way Oh Way Oh A song is played in some dark room Someone’s heart is deeply moved Season’s change their different hues in the Crackle of the Wind And I can hear the wind sing Way Oh Way Oh

Just back the fuck off if you don’t like me or don’t “believe” my God Essence. Yep, you heard me right. 😎🙃🎸🙏💔 You have it too.
The Buddha said I cannot show you my secrets or the answers paraphrasing but I know the way and I can show you the way and guys I want to tell you something it’s not the narrow way it’s your way and you have God inside you already and you’re not a sinner. Wake up beaches and horrors?!?!?
The female shape should be seen much much more in the world. She us the vehicle of life people
I see you financed an 80k car you were able to get because you do a job you dislike.
Next life get the job you love thru blood, sweat & tears driving a 500 dollar car for cash. You’ll not need those frills or that seriousness. That which you dream is yours already, energetically.
Presenting in this blog post, dear reader, my amazing, notwithstanding vicarious, teaching mentor Curt Visca, a treasured educator and beloved children’s cartoon show host I was heavily inspired by and remain indebted to in my K12 and now community college teaching career. Thank you.
Curt Visca’s amazing vision manifested in local access cable of my youth in South Orange County.
Here’s a guy who mysteriously and unknowingly became vicariously a mentor to me in my 20’s 30’s and 40’s, through his “It’s Curtoon Time” kid TV show.
Curt Visca as Principal in CUSD.
His local access cable TV broadcasting in South Orange County had such an allure for me prior to my drop/transplant into the High Desert in 2002 where I raised a family and thrived as a teacher.
Amazing Visionary!
He lives in San Clemente and is an accomplished teacher and administrTor for the Capistrano Valley Unified School District. I looked up himto immensely. Even today at 55 I try to live and teach by his motto”Learning should be Simple & Silly.”
I wanted to make a show called “The Standard Train” in 2002 and for the longest time to inspire wonder in my Adelanto kids.
Curt was an early video creator and respected Public School Principal in Capistrano Valley Unified. He was an inspiration for me to press on with my outlier visions, never going halfway in my teaching and musical career.
Thank you Curt.
Curt Visca, one of my heroes
I get it now. I always had it but I can write about now at 55:
Teaching should be simple and silly
I love the idea of my 4th book being themed around the “Dynamite Lesson Plan” and Curt Vusca’s cartoony and brilliant philosophy of Keeping learning “simple and silly.”
From me to you commoners as well as teachers out there needing inspiration,
Yours,
DAme
