clearly it's what we need

Last week I managed to escape my current urbanity to sleep in a ghost town, swim in clear Northern California river water, see the immensity of space reflect on skies lacking light pollution, wake with the sun and relinquish time of its duties to (this projected) reality.

A photo can only crudely represent, what is wholly, an experience.  But, I do try in my human way of holding on to a memory.

"Each particle is a microcosm, and faithfully renders the likeness of the world."

"But would you kindly ponder this question: What would your good do if evil didn't exist, and what would the earth look like if all the shadows disappeared? After all, shadows are cast by things and people. Here is the shadow of my sword. But shadows also come from trees and living beings.  Do you want to strip the earth of all trees and living things just because of your fantasy of enjoying naked light? You're stupid."

~Mikhail Bulgakov

Somewhere along the American West Coast you can call me.  And gaze up at Redwoods, simultaneously.

somewhere in there is an asian pear

A vignette of knife love....  with asian pear, lemon, fennel, red cabbage and chard.

Red Bitch

My baby left me 10 years ago.  She wasn't in this rough of shape, but she likely would be now if the head gasket hadn't taken her when it did.  She was red and we had a lot of fun together. How I miss her so, even knowing that buying gas for a steel beast would be nearly impossible today.  But my heart skips a bit at this sight....  I want to get in, get on the highway, press the gas, lift right off the road and cruise for awhile with the windows down.  Probably sing at the top of my lungs too. Yes.

To some extent I happily don't know what I'm doing.  I feel that it's an artist's responsibility to trust that.
