In The Beginning . . .

What captured my interest for doing a Blog in the first place was the situation of the Homeless in Seattle, WA. USA

I wondered 'What can I do'?

So, for starters, I thought 'READ' . . . which led to 'WRITE' . . .

Back in 1971 was a story called 'The Point' written by Harry Nilsson. It is an animation about a boy with a round head who is banished from the land of pointy-headed people.

This classic had a simple but direct message--accept everyone for who they are and not force them to fit into a preconceived notion of who they should be. Oblio and Arrow his dog are banned from the town they live in. Why? Because the Evil Count decides that anyone that can beat his son at a game (misuse of power) and looks different (Oblio's the only child with a round head not a pointed head) shouldn't be allowed in the town. He's called pointless by the Count and others. But Oblio in Nilsson's extended allegory finds that nothing is pointless least of all himself.

Ringo Starr, the late Nilsson's old pal, narrates.
