My Startdust Memories In Blue   Leave a comment

my stardust memories

past,
resisting replay

but for stardust of yesterdays

yesterdays,
imparting time and place

gently massaging forgotten dreams

dreams,
giving clues to

my stardust memories

memories,
fading for now

only reborn to imagination

imagination,
touching the soul

engaging new moments

moments,
experiencing rapture

in the joy of our love

love,
living yesterday’s stardust

the music of today’s legends

legends,
lighting our essence

upon which the future exist

The Zen of Visual Imagery — The Second Time Around   2 comments

GettyReflection6.17.04 Art III blogImage by kenne

(First posted June, 2009. This posting serves as a reminder.) 

I love all facets of making visual imagery,
e.g., writing, music, cameras, catching the moment,
editing the moment to share my perspective of the experience —
I could go on and on. For me, visual imagery is a passion.

In recent years I have been able to spend more time with this love,
even getting into digital video and taking on a lot of digital media projects.
However, as with any endeavor, especially the ones you love,
doing it full-time can reduce the love affair to being just another relationship.

Often, creativity suffers in the relationship.
Rather than being artistic, you become a technician, lacking originality and flair.
Sometimes you are so focused in the routine, your passion becomes an obsession.

The moral:

Don’t do what you love full-time.

Make sure the love is surrounded by other endeavors,
which in turn nurtures the creative juices of your art.

Only then
will you begin to feel the juices ooze from your pores.

Only then
will you experience real love.

Only then
will you truly be alive.

Hayes Carll at Tut's in Conroe, Texas 2004

Recently I placed an entry on Facebook to my recent blog posting, “Another look at Shadow Lake,” which included a quote from Townes Van Zandt’s “Highway Kind.” I received a comment pointing out what many have said making a comparison with The Woodlands kid, Hayes Carll.  I couldn’t agree more. Let's just hope Hayes lives longer than Townes – much longer!
