I'm artistic, and creative, but as such, I spend much of my waking time in a dreamworld, forgetting to say what I feel. Art/photo/poetry/music are some of the ways I've expressed my feelings.

The poem is an expression of appreciation and love for my wife.

It's hard to read, so I'll translate.

Softly, I am carressed by the rays of the summer sun
Gently, I lay my head on the grass
Tenderly, I cup the fragrant flowers in the garden
And I am reminded of you

Simple, but I do appreciate her, and hope she knows.  More >

THE MAKING OF DAY

NOW... sits here suspended in a nothing of space, dancing itself around a crackling fire.

The dawning days and the yawning nights, set the rhythms of the seasons and years.

From time to time, joy and sorrow, love and hate, collide and argue, sending off their towering responses of blazing sparks.

Oceans and mountain masses, shift and change places, seeking perhaps more comfortable or pleasant dispositions.

And upon this stage of this and now, the human dramas and soap operas play out.
The quiet desperation's of the masses.

Masses whom yearn and lust perhaps for themselves and perhaps some drops of vain human glory.

The drone of traffic, a bird call, the oceans lull and a lonely wolves cry all mark this rolling saga, as it pitches to and fro alike unto the oceans form whence it was born and came.

High above, an eagle and clouds soar, observing for the moment the haphazard and silly parade.

A parade that echoes down and through the years, decades and centuries.

What are we learning? crys a fool, standing by the gutter grubbing for a crumb of bread and juice.

What have we learned? but the question is lost and reverberates into the din as good robin begins it song and a day begins anew.

Happy Easter

Well mornin

THE BIRD KINGDOM: GREED

well as some of you may know I have two pet budgies.
Well Mr. G. he came first by about two years
and he was an ornary sob for a long time.
Suddenly though when his favorite victum Mr Y
died of old age and heart failure... there was this
amazing "change" of attitude.
Here he realized it was only him and me left and he
had a huge cage all to himself with no one to bully.
Well that carried on for 2 or 3 months till I decided
to get Ms A. cause I was gone a fair bit.
Well Ms A. moved right in and dog gone it if she wasn't
the same a Mr G when he was young.
She beats up on him and will be grooming him and suddenly
take a bite out of his hide for good measure. (Psychosis?)
Anyway...she was starving him to death by not letting
him eat and "guarding" the food dish. Was this greed
or instinct or control? Not sure. So to retify the matter I thought I'd just put two food dishes in. This worked okay for awhile until Ms A. in , (and now It became a control issue) a counter strategy would sit herself in between the two dishes and guard them from him. The only flaw in this logic was that she can't eat while guarding the food. Ah a dilemna... the prisoners dilemna? well anyway Ms A is now in a self imposed battle between her 1. hunger vs 2 her control issue. Should I eat or should I guard and if she eats she lose because then Mr G. can eat too. I suppose I could complicate her situation
and simply go 3d with another food dish higher up but we'll see how Mr G and Ms A fair in the ongoing saga of the bird
kingdom.
