“When Satyajit Ray’s 1984 film  The Home and the World begins, a woman is recalling the events that molded her perspective on the world. Years ago, her husband, a wealthy Western-educated landowner, challenged tradition by providing her with schooling, and inviting her out of the seclusion in which married women were kept, to the consternation of more conservative relatives. Meeting her husband's visiting friend from college, a leader of an economic rebellion against the British, she takes up his political cause, despite her husband’s warnings. as the story progresses, the relationship between the woman and the visitor becomes more than platonic, and the political battles, pitting rich against poor and Hindu against Moslem, turn out not to be quite as simple as she had first thought.”
---from IMDB notes on Satyajit Ray

Creating this website---gathering together articles and poems and pictures; revisiting worlds I discovered and left but carry in my heart; looking again and again at “homes” and “worlds”  I found and left---all of it brought to mind Satyajit Ray’s  Home and the World.  Entries on my blog will illustrate why, eventually. 

“Writings” will appear soon. where now there is mostly Poetry and some Adrienne Rich=inspired thoughts on “Jacob and the Angel,  and photo albums. 

I welcome your reactions, so send comments to  contacts@garyseibert.com   Together, let us  “recall the events that mold our perspectives of the World.”

Thanks.
