Lost in the Self

Inner spaces, drawing out the internal, mysteries of the mind, emotions and soul intermixed which surface in the external through a small twitch on the face as the persona expresses the façade of self moving through the world.

In a Space Beyond Words

Beyond time and words is the the profound quiet of pools of colors saturated. Blues, blue greens, blue-violets rich with substance and nourishment. Ah, the eyes and soul smile alive in the color.

Saturday 7:11 am

The flow of the life river speeds fast and swoosh another week has past. This is a quiet moment to get a read on the life compass. The usual pressures and to do list items are here. Just take them one at time. Give them space and attention and they get done. John Wooden said, “Be quick, but don’t hurry.” This is my current mantra. The life force of Spring continues to ah with its sounds of birds, clouds, and sprouting vegetation. Enjoy them in the spaces around all the to-do list items. The white space or negative space around objects is real and contains wonder. Be quiet and see.

Tax Day

I hear that Starbucks is giving away free coffee today, bring your own travel mug. The sunny side of April 15th.

Spring Afternoon

It’s spring outside and the light is returning. I feel the world quickening with the optimistic promise of new sprouting life. It is pushing its way through the pavement of media driven tragic filled thoughts of death and sorrow. Just turn off the TV news for a moment. Life lives in spite of all the tragedy: real or imagined.
