“No Title” — Abstract Art by kenne
No valid plans for the future can be made
by those who have no capacity for living now.
by those who have no capacity for living now.
The only way to make sense out of change
is to plunge into it,
move with it,
and join the dance.
Trying to define yourself
is like trying to bite your own teeth.

Cactus Digital Art — Existing in Absurdity 2 comments
Cactus Digital Art — by kenne
Life, art, and logic are full of absurdities of various kinds.
We conceptualize absurdities when we
discuss square circles and circular squares.
It is art that is able to provide a mediator
between the strange and the real.

“The creative act is only an incomplete and abstract moment in the production of a work.”

Existing In An Absurd World 1 comment
Joy and Kenne (Houston, Texas, June 2001)
There are times
I’m not a female,
But there are times
I wish I wasn’t male
I’m not a black,
But there are times
I wish I wasn’t a white
I’m not immortal,
But there are times
I wish I wasn’t mortal
I’m not a doubter,
But there are times
I wish I wasn’t a believer
I’m not a conservative,
But there are times
I wish I wasn’t a liberal
I’m not a saint,
But there are times
I wish I wasn’t sinful
I’m not ignorant,
But there are times
I wish I wasn’t learned
I’m not implicit
But there are times
I wish I wasn’t explicit
I’m not an Islamic,
But there are times
I wish I wasn’t a Christian
I’m not an animal,
But there are times
I wish I wasn’t a human
I’m not in
But there are times
I wish I wasn’t out
I’m not lonely
But there are times
I wish there was an opposite
I’m not you
But there are times
I wish I wasn’t me —
But there are times
You are the opposite
Of the opposite of you

New Age Technology (Women in Sedona Using a Drone to Take Selfies.)– Computer Art by kenne
At nature’s vortex
three women capture selfies —
irrational state?
The spiritual
and technology transcend —
tragicomedy.
In creative acts,
essence of being human,
we are what we are.

Existing In Absurdity
Born linked to the ancient ones
Channeled to a past spirit
Licking insight of the now
Instinctively being observant
Creating a discrete perception
Accepting things as they are
Not to question why
In a world of the ordinary
While seeking answers
Only to redefine normality
Follower of mother’s guidance
Learning right from wrong
In an air of tolerance
Avoiding strange charmers
Delivers of woe and fear
Fostering a mama’s boy
Not by design, but by nature
Existing forever connected
To her very being
Desiring to mend her hurt
Nurtured in grandmother’s church
Hearing a calling without voices
Imparting salvation
Becoming blinded by faith
Only to be baptized in a tank
Receiving life’s real baptism
In the old swimming hole
Swinging from a rope
Sinking down with an arm
Pointing up to the light above
A curiosity for girls
Given timid tutelage
Knowing only of
Their exclusive nature
Without objective scrutiny
Lacking any evidence
Querying a gentle lass
Show me yours
Will show you mine
Not yet understanding
The growth in the hand
Lying down by her side
Lost in original sin
Not resisting the call
Buried deep in the heart
Falling for her desire
Thinking of girl as woman
Wondering at what age
A woman becomes woman
And when woman
Stops being woman
Fancied by little girls
Fashioned by big girls
Becoming powerful as consort
Only to be lost in false piety
A spectacle of elevated humbug
The girl as woman
A myth dreamed by boys
Loving the art of deception
Conceived by man loving woman
Only to become a ploy
Now questing a cure
For this curse of eve
Loathing the deception
In quest of a solution
Only to be lost in dark air
Searching a way out
Of this affliction
Can’t live with
Can’t live without
Existing in absurdity
