Mr. Raymond Chandler. He was speaking of his wife: "... For thirty years, ten months, and four days, she was the light of my life, my whole ambition. Anything else I did was just the fire for her to warm her hands at."

Archetype Red Apple Eve

 excerpt from Blake's 'Auguries of Innocence'

To see a World in a Grain of Sand

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand

And Eternity in an hour.

A Robin Red breast in a Cage

Puts all Heaven in a Rage.

A Poison Tree

I was angry with my friend: I told my wrath, my wrath did end.

I was angry with my foe: I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I water'd it in fears, Night & morning with my tears:

And I sunned with smiles, And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night, Till it bore an apple bright;

And my foe beheld it shine, And he knew that it was mine,

And into my garden stole When the night had veil'd the pole:

In the morning glad I see My foe outstretch'd beneath the tree.

Myths and Lies

I think there's something kind of magical about the idea of a myth. I didn't used to, not before I knew you. I looked at you and thought that there must be some truth to you, but I know now that most of how you've constructed yourself is just a lie.

That sounds bitter. Lies and myths are not the same thing.

It's disappointing that who I thought you were isn't true.

On With the Show

The system was oppressive
But she would not give up
She would not give in
She kept dancing
To the drumbeat in her head
To the salsa, to the rumba
Spinning in red
Laughing in lavender
She kept her arms open
To possibility
And chance
Drawing others
Into the dance

word gems from one word.com, ..... random associations

Sometimes I feel like I am overflowing with empathy. I can feel the world's pain as if it were my own. I cry about things that aren't sad. I understand too much, or at least I think I do.

People Reading

we get so comfortable at judging other people that we forget we are those other people~Paul Chek

Light and Pansies

LOVE is a code~Paul Chek

Gallop

My mother used to tell me of elaborate horses that would travel down from the heavens deep into her REM schedule on any given evening. They'd deliver messages from a man who calls himself "GOD; galloping rhythmically through each mental vibration, telling her she'd been saved. Hallelujah!

Yesterday morning... the pond mist

excerpt from 'Correspondences' ~Baudelaire

Listen!  They must be words, drifting between

These living pillars: elusive, never simple.

We walk through the groves of symbols, dark and green,

Which smile and watch us. Nature is a temple.

I'm loving this camera...

Orchid Early Light

orchid, a shape in space by Gary Hume: it reminds me of a blueprint, a design. Perhaps this is how God, or animals, view the plant: an outline. It also makes me think of people, how we meet them as a mere outline, how they are created as a mere ouline, and are filled by interaction with the world.

Goosewing Beach Mist

The mist in the morning
Was too cold to breathe in.
So I breathed out
And I made the mist my own.

Random Associations... Comma

from todays word@ one word.com 

The comma stood there, right in between one thought and another, and he just couldn't produce a single clause to connect. And yet, he had left the sentence so open, so dangling, that he felt as if he had to finish the thought. [blue diamonds]

Life is mostly froth and bubble,

Two things stand like stone;

Kindness in another's trouble,

Courage in your own.~A.L,Gordon
