About Me


thinking.

Slowly but steadily taking a jackhammer to bankrupt life strategies, one concrete slab at a time... *Formulating A Plan* (what's a Plan, anyhow?)

..not by tears but by a humble resolve to be always beginning..

And her heart is full and hollow
Like a cactus tree

(He said my hand was like a wolf and like a flower.)

Suppleness and Tenderness are the concomitants of life; Rigidity and Hardness the concomitants of death.

This is the process whereby pain of the past in its pastness
May be converted into the future tense
Of joy.

gypsies.

The paintings of John Lurie. And, John Lurie.

respectable, trailblazing types, who have managed to not lose their senses of humor and/or humility.
