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.

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

"Be presented with hard work.

Face the fear.

Turn the fear into focus.

Do the work.

GROW (and I mean grow in a good way)... The harder the work, the greater the fear, the more intense the focus.  That is how you transform a body... a person... the world actually."~Krista Schaus

 excerpt from Elizabeth Bowen's 'Death of a Heart' and lovely, dramatic sentiment and dialogue from the early 1900's

"Darling, I don't want you; I've got no place for you; I only want what you give.  I don't want the whole of anyone....  What you want is the whole of me~ isn't it, isn't it? ~and the whole of me isn't there for anybody.  In that full sense you want me I don't exist."

Eddie to Portia, The Death of a Heart

and the horses in the paddock.....

"Again the early-morning sun was generous with its warmth.  All the sounds dear to a horseman were around me - the snort of the horses as they cleared their throats, the gentle swish of their tails, the tinkle of irons as we flung the saddles over their backs - little sounds of no importance, but they stay in the unconscious library of memory"...Wynford Vaughan-Thomas

Symbolic pathos

The Child is Father To the Man ... poet-Gerard Manley Hopkins

"The child is father to the man."    How can he be? The words are wild.    Suck any sense from that who can.    "The child is father to the man."    No; what the poet did write ran,    "The man is father to the child."    "The child is father to the man!"    How can he be? The words are wild!
