radio silence

Things will resume soon.

Shifts.

The past two weeks have been strange and difficult in some ways. On the one hand, I've found it easier than I expected to be a non-smoker, and my wounds from last week are nearly healed. On the other hand, I've found it difficult to concentrate, or maybe to care, to be interested in, all… Continue reading Shifts.

Art and the waxing crescent

Above: Two of the panels built by Tara Lynne; these feature lovely old hardwood panels from drawer-bottoms of a neglected dresser, with reinforced balsa wood cradles. The moon and i are in growth phases. More. And More specific. Some things have taken root. I looked back in time –the space of a year. And saw… Continue reading Art and the waxing crescent

A Monday has dawned half-sunny in mid February– President's Day Weekend. Tumultuous and mild, abstractions arising out of the long winter– cabin fever reaches its peak, and winter makes madmen of us all. I've been feeling a little at loose ends and wondering again what I'm going to be when I grow up. Springtime has… Continue reading three day weekend
