Moon Setting — Photo-Artistry by kenne
My eyes are my camera
all I can write is what I see
reflected in the moment.
All moments are transient,
with fleeting feeling, and
destined to pass away.

Amanita Muscaria Mushrooms — Photo-Artistry by kenne
The greatest achievement was
at first and for a time a dream.
The oaks sleeps in the acorn;
the bird waits in the egg;
and in the highest vision
of the soul a waking angel stirs.
Dreams are the seedlings of realities.

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.

“Does it matter whether one is required to complete the work
or whether one is free to desist from the work
if you must meet a final art that certainly you did not make?”
*****
“Philosophical problems are conceptual confusions
that arise when a form of utterance appropriate
to one mode of discourse is mistakenly used in the wrong context
Confusions must be unpicked employing ordinary uses of language.”

Tom Turner — Image by kenne
Tom once wrote:
“Complications,
ambiguities,
nonsequiturs.
I keep searching
for clarity . . . lucidity;
knowing each time I seek that
I’ll become more entangled.
No. I’m not bored.
Just scared.
I’m moving toward
a sort-of silence . . .
I know what you’re thinking —
Bull-shit!
Bull shit!
Bull Shit!
Since the
significant things
I want to say
have the wrong
inflections;
intonations
for most arenas
of conversation:
I ramble on
into oblivion.
A series of nonsequiturs.”

Day’s End — Image by kenne
Any sorrows the day may bring
cannot last beyond day’s end
dying in the eyes of the setting sun.
