Desert Orangetip Butterfly — Photo-Artistry by kenne
We delight in the beauty of the butterfly,
but rarely admit the changes
it has gone through
to achieve that beauty.

Abstract Art by kenne
The High Court’s call for
a return to a more
staged authentic culture
disregarding its
political implications
is indicative of its failure
to fully understand the
structure of modern society,
not acknowledging that
the individual is part of
a greater whole
discounting the interaction
between people
and institutions
in the community.

A Rose By Any Other Name . . . — Photo-Artistry by kenne
“O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I’ll no longer be a Capulet…
‘Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What’s Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call’d,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.”
— from Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

When images become inadequate,

Eastern Bluebird (August 8, 2012) Image by kenne
He had a blue wing tattooed on his shoulder
Well, it might have been a bluebird, I don’t know
But he’d get stone drunk and talk about Alaska
The salmon boats and 45 below
He got that blue wing up in Walla Walla
Where his cellmate there was a Little Willy John
And Willie, he was once a great blues singer
And Wing & Willie wrote him up a song
(They sang,)
“It’s dark in here, can’t see the light
But I look at this blue wing when I close my eyes
And I fly away, beyond these walls
Up above the clouds, where the rain don’t fall
On a poor man’s dream”
— from Blue Wing by Tom Russell

Philosophy is like trying to open a safe with a combination lock:
each little adjustment of the dials seems to achieve nothing,
only when everything is in place does the door open.
