Never a dull moment, if nothing is happening now, wait a minute. Something is inevitable.
Everything written on this blog comes out of this one tortured mind, a mind tortured by all the terrible beauty and wonder that surrounds him. Those who would travel down the same tortuous path are welcome. Leave the straight and narrow for those in a hurry.
Many would ask who I am. I claim no particular fame or particular wisdom. I am a searcher and this is a diary of my search. I am also a visual artist, a musician, a writer, a poet, a philosopher, a composer and I have been doing all for a very long time. I am long in years but young in mind. I was born in Alaska under the sign of Aquarius mid-twentieth century and live north of Boston, Massachusetts.
I always appreciate pictures of beautiful women and beautiful art, both of which make life the wonderful terrible existence it is, but many of those who know me think that music is my true religion. But the music I hear is a far vaster collection of sounds than you might imagine, for I hear music in everything. Ask me anything Submit
There was an idea here but it fell down the hole.
I am a pilgrim. Just can’t recall what I was looking for.
Look into a mirror too long and all you will see is glass.
I kept trying to kid myself but the punchline would never come.
Sometimes it can be so silent you can hear your thoughts.
One of these days it will all be clear but for now I’m enjoying the fog.
Luck is what happens to other people.
I looked to the rain for answers but each drop was only the entrance to an ocean whose depths would be plumbed by currents I could not follow with grace or agility. So the questions hung in the air, wet sparrows searching for a sheltered branch.
The sun slid down the back of the sky and into my skull, and so the story continued.
Ain’t enough to be who you are. Seems you have to sell who you are. I ain’t sellin’ nothin’.
If I had expectations, would it make a difference? Ain’t carrying that baggage. What comes will come. Expectations have killed many a good man. Ain’t playing that game. It may not be enough to some that I awake and I breathe and than what I know I know is more than the sum of nothing. But it will suffice until the sun comes out and all is seen for what it is.
If only, if only, [fill in your own story}, then send me, please send me to some place I’ve never dreamed of before.
