Saturday morning...now what...?

Yesterday no post. Stomach was insane! Gritted right through me. What do I do when that happens. Just wait it out---I am very used to by now, what I call "stomach cycles". After one intense day the pressure on my stomach diminishes and a kind of "normalcy" is established. Then BAM! it happens again. Nothing much I can do at this point---felt pretty tired all day, stayed close to the apartment, read the Wes Moore book a lot. It is, as I have said in earlier posts, devoted to the five days after Freddy Gray's funeral in Baltimore--Moore, the narrator, takes the reader into the world of about six different people either immediately or tangentially involved in the rage that took part in the city after the funeral. Most are black; two, a public defender and John Angelos, an owner of the Baltimore Orioles, are white. Of the black participants, there is a high ranking police officer, a "street guy", a City Council person and a few others. It is all very riveting; perhaps the most frightening aspect of absorbing the book is the understanding that one section of Baltimore---the one that contains the poor black population---has been treated by the police as an occupied country. Unjustified cruelty by the police to anyone "suspected" of any wrong doing is common place. Physical beatings are the norm. I knew some of this before but reading this now leaves me horrified and enraged. But what is one to do? Moore lives in Baltimore now; in an interview he identified the problems in the poor neighborhoods that have been going on for years. Can he, as an important Baltimorian begin to work to solve these problems of inequity? How do you rebuild  a system that seems so brutalized and forgotten by those in power? Those are the greater issues posed by the book---I have about five chapters to go.
Stomach better today. Still a lot of time left in the day. I think I will stay around the apartment and wait until Falstaff comes on. The last Verdi opera is today's broadcast. I saw the production a few years ago---did not like it at all, but listening to it, I can just focus on the music--which I know and love. After that---will depend on the energy flow that i am experiencing Will report soon.
