REALITY: Perspective
Another year behind me–how many more ahead to lure with the unknown, the undiscovered yet, the could be’s and the maybe’s? When faced with decades, years, months or even hours, do we plan or do we blindly run the rut … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Perception of the Paths
Good enough day today; sunshine-warmed crisp autumn air to clear the mind of dreary rainy thoughts and moods of moonlight-streaked black woods. Going forward, look behind at where I’ve been and up ahead the path still goes forever twisting deeper … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Mood
Is it honesty, or simple lack of maturity and control that makes it impossible to cover up one’s bad humour? My mother often quoted to me this poem–I thought it had a special meaning for her, but upon reflection, see … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: And Its Avoidance
Not my usual upbeat bouncy self today. This is complete sarcasm, since anyone who knows me or has crossed my path has surely seen that morose to morbidly depressed is more my normal style. Always has been, but I’ve still … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY & WRITING: Cubicle Man II
He sits there like a hard boiled egg, undistinguished from the raw recruits with whom he shares partitioned space encompassing his own. His insides are solidified, formed and rigid to the rigors of the waiting game of time and choice … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: Selection Day
I had this fantasy the other day–no months, to tell the truth and honesty is what it’s all about–to save the world beyond the me, though trickle down effects would serve my ass as well. To put the mind above … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: Learning
Very interesting lesson learned today; learning lessons from learning lessons. Frustrating; to learn something that would have made something easier, better, more efficient, better structured, but learning it a day or two after a decision has been made, a project … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY: Nature/Natural
Should have worn the clogs; they’d have made me taller, yes, but more, they’d have added needed weight on this wondrous windy day that makes the flags sing in patriotic glory of democracy. The tribe has spoken, so to speak, … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY & NEW MEDIA: Late Autumn Morning
The beauty of pink misty morning. Leaves heavy with rain fall with wet slooshy sounds that tell of their youth in lack of crisp dryness. Cawing of crows suit the mood, fulfilling the audio element of story. Stillness? No, movement; … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: Shakespearean Style
“And this above all, to thine own self be true…” But when the window that shows one clearly to oneself reveals the dullness beyond the panes, Windex doesn’t help as the clouded image truly lies without the borders of the … Continue reading Continue reading

REALITY & NEW MEDIA: Accumulation, Storage, Tossing Out
The fascination with the notion of a computer as a brain continues. That is where I’ve been for days. Thinking, clicking, marking words to seed the paths. Seeking out the best in all of human technology. A new computer when … Continue reading Continue reading
NEW MEDIA & REALITY: Learning Process
At some point of frustration with one’s own lack of knowledge, it is often a wise choice to stop at the fork and consider not running wildly further into the woods. Mapping is tedious, yet vital, for the way back … Continue reading Continue reading
NEW MEDIA & REALITY: Space in Time & Place
We skim the surface, skating on the top on winter ice. Dependent upon the depth of knowledge that is frozen into place to carry us along the edges, to the center where the water’s deep and not as deeply known. … Continue reading Continue reading
REALITY: Six-thirty a.m.
Yellow-gray clouds over red-orange horizon. Whatever happened to white, blue and green? Continue reading

REALITY: Stretching Skins
It’s easy to see it in the young: The growing of the inside pushing at the outside until it can’t push any more at chubby cheeks blown up with knowing. Puberty is a shedding of the shell that can no … Continue reading Continue reading
