  • Delusions of Grandeur

    Delusions of Grandeur

    Here’s something for "Perfection ", Peter. It’s a superbly spiritual passage from Mark Helprin, a writer whose fiction I love, though whose politics I loathe.  Life hands out challenges like that, doesn’t it? Beauty is found in the most unusual places. Had I known his politics before having read most of his books, I might…

  • Emergence… Metamorphosis

    Emergence… Metamorphosis

    The butterflies are gorgeous, gorgeous. All of them, but I really love the monarchs and daisies. They’re special. I know you’ve already sold Tweet on the lonely butterfly, but …  if you’re going to go with butterflies anyway, those are stronger images. I do like Tweet’s avatar, though! Was it at all tempting to categorise…

  • Emergence… and Butterflies

    Emergence… and Butterflies

    Hey Staci, Found some more butterfly images to play with. I’m thinking about making them part of the site theme. I’ll have to talk to Tweet about the Twitter one. We’ve been having a little to-and-fro on that. I’m really liking two, which I think will work well: the one with the single yellow butterfly…

    I love Passion ! Now that’s an inspiring gallery.  But sweetness, how ever did you miss this Chekirov print? Hmmm? Ms. Passionate Parisien? Yes, Paris is a date…Quatorze Juillet at the North East leg…and then after the Tower, we’ll find a wonderful little pension and while away the days as the French scurry all about…

    Hmmmm. . .  feeling in the mood for a little passion today… I love the gestures, the embraces. I love the passionate, sensual energy captured in each painting, especially Chekirov and Martinez … Oh My! My imagination soars, crosses the ocean between us and you are here, embracing me.

  • Note to Self

    Note to Self

    It’s not that I float. That indicates the possibility of falling, and there is none. It’s not that I have a position in space. There is no space. It’s not a dimension, or a plane of existence that I exist in. These are all concepts of a physical manifestation, and there is nothing physical about…

  • Everything is Wonderful

    Everything is Wonderful

    While browsing in a chain bookstore I picked up a beautiful text featuring the world’s 100 most spiritual places. Leafing through it, I was startled to discover how many I’d visited. More than that, I’d knocked off nearly all the ones in places I’d travelled to. Until that day, I’d never really thought of myself…

  • Jane

    Jane

    I tried to make him understand. Tried so hard to give him the images and emotions of my experience.  His subconcious is so powerful. It resisted, turned it into a dream about being in a jeep chased by a dinosaur through a jungle. A nightmare, for sure, but not the nightmare I’d lived out, not…

  • An Early Memory

    An Early Memory

    The memory is of my girlfriend, Corinne, tied to a tree in her backyard. She’s naked. I can’t remember how she’s responding to this, but I don’t recall any negative feelings about it. It’s playful, until her mother calls to her from inside the house. I quickly release the bonds, a plastic skip rope, and…
