“In the Spring a livelier iris changes on the burnish’d dove;
In the Spring a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love” — Alfred, Lord Tennyson

🍄 Vision connects you. But it also separates you. In my work, and my life, I feel a desire to merge. Not in terms of losing my own identity… but there’s a feeling that life is interconnected, that there’s life in stones and rocks and trees and dirt, like there is in us. — Bill Viola 🍄
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
“The flower is the poetry of reproduction. It is an example of the eternal seductiveness of life.”
– Jean Giraudoux
The Organ Grinder and Me
By Vic Zarley
Sometimes I’m just the monkey
Just the Organ Grinder’s pet
I hold my cup into the air
Then solemnly I let
The coins fall in like magic
With their resounding clink
The Law’s the coin behind my thoughts
It gives me what I think
And if I’m very careful with
The cup that I hold out
I will like the changes that
Are sure to come about
And when the change is given
I become so happy that
With a twinkle in my eyes
I quickly tip my hat
And once the show is over
And the last coin’s in my cup
The Organ Grinder will reach down
And slowly pick me up
Away we’ll walk together, then
My Partner and me
To form a brand new circle
And a brand new destiny

“Life is something like a trumpet.
If you don’t put anything in, you won’t get anything out.”
William Christopher Handy
Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe
it only from the vantage point of distance. — Charles Lindbergh
“Youth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty.
Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.” – Franz Kafka
