Grant me the courage to change the things I can change,
the serenity to accept the things I can’t change,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

“Things are as they are.
Looking out into the universe at night,
we make no comparisons
between right and wrong stars,
nor between well and badly
arranged constellations.”

– Alan Watts.

Epilogue

Those blessèd structures, plot and rhyme–
why are they no help to me now
I want to make
something imagined, not recalled?
I hear the noise of my own voice:
The painter’s vision is not a lens,
it trembles to caress the light.
But sometimes everything I write
with the threadbare art of my eye
seems a snapshot,
lurid, rapid, garish, grouped,
heightened from life,
yet paralyzed by fact.
All’s misalliance.
Yet why not say what happened?
Pray for the grace of accuracy
Vermeer gave to the sun’s illumination
stealing like the tide across a map
to his girl solid with yearning.
We are poor passing facts,
warned by that to give
each figure in the photograph
his living name.

— Robert Lowell, Day by Day

raven on high

landing

on an agave flower 

casting

a death shadow 

linking

the demon

talking 

to the wind 

waiting

for wind currents

lifting off

free to sore high

performing skilled 

aerobatic maneuvers 

combining 

loops and rolls

seeking intensity

not for show, just for fun

Suitcase — Grunge Art   Leave a comment

Generosity is nothing else than a craze to possess.
All which I abandon, all which I give,
I enjoy in a higher manner through the fact that I give it away.
To give is to enjoy possessively the object which one gives.

— Jean-Paul Sartre

Walk a Mile In My Shoes   Leave a comment

“You can’t really understand another Person’s experience
until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes.”

Walk A Mile In My Shoes

Can you see where I’m coming from?
Do you understand my point of view?
Why can’t you see the things that upset me?
Won’t you walk a mile in my shoes?

If you do something that bothers me
And you seem to be in denial
Should I bring up the subject with you?
Please wear my shoes for a mile

Your comments and accusations
Are thrown at me with such ease
They reach me like a sharpened knife
Won’t you walk a mile with me please?

I desperately try to plead my case
But I’ve learned to accept this abuse
Nothing I say really matters
But won’t you walk a mile in my shoes?

nature
is the cradle
providing a
dominion
for my images. 
each image
has its place,
putting down
roots
in wandering 
eyes
passing by.

YELLOW

In the beginning, oh, long before that.

When light was deciding who should be in and who should be out of the spectrum.

Yellow was in trouble.

Even then it seems that green, you know how green can be, didn’t want yellow in.

Some silly primal envy I suppose, but for whatever cause, the effect was bad on yellow.

And caused yellow to weep yellow tears for several eternals, before there were years.

Until blue heard what was up between green and yellow and took green aside for a serious talk,

in which blue pointed out that if yellow and blue were to get together,

not that they would but if they did (a gentle threat),

they could make their own green.

“Ooh” said green with some understanding.

Naturally by a sudden change of hue green saw the light and yellow got in.

 It worked out fine,

yellow got lemons and green got limes.

— transcribed from Ken Nordine’s jazz and word poem, Yellow

Guitar (1 of 1)-2 art blog“I Hear The Rhythm” — Computer Art by kenne

I hear the rhythm
a pattern of sounds
forming guitar melodies.

I feel the rhythm
weak and strong beats
vibrating my soul.

I see the rhythm
directing my eye
by repeating elements.

Globemallow art
a wildflower in grunge
dark and in contrast.

Opposite natures
juxtaposition of forms
beauty by contrast.
