At the request of the director of Music of Newman College, where I was a marginalised, old congregant whose ideas as a former Registered Midwife for women were too often scorned, I have removed a spontaneous film, full of my love for art, of a version of Silent Night which IMHO did for that song what John Lennon did for emotional honesty on the Plastic Ono band album to be later echoed in my ears by Paul MacCartney on his glorious enigmatic letter in a song to Lennon, Dear Friend. To borrow from the title of the 1881 painting above by William-Adolphe Bouguereau, this Silent Night, like Dear Friend and Love and Isolation and Ram On and Dragonfly et carmina alia, was a Song Of The Angels.
I am hurt by the director’s EMPHATIC closure of his doors to me.
Of such bricks from accomodation businesses was the marginalisation of Jesus AT HIS BIRTH built 2025 years ago.
Of such bricks is the continued marginalisation of women in the Roman Catholic Church built. One good woman there had green lit what I did. To be overruled.
Of such bricks are the modern misandry and its attendant Gender Suicide Gap slowly and selfishly built by people in positions of protected unaccountable privilege and power.
Omnia omnibus?
Not at Newman.
