whispers in my
dreamsuit,
lusciously heaving
a vision of
a magic life.
a velvet fever
for healing hearts
in a haunted
translucent star bellied
sacred universe.

Beautiful, hopeful words.

your poems are always so beautiful.
into the sea of fire,
born naked in ashes,
diamonds inside again.

I like what you wrote. It puts a nice image in my head.
an eclipse poem:
i lather her
gorgeously purple drunk
in the sweet
frantic goddess garden
we chanted
pink moonlight language;
a symphony of
foresting need.

Lovely poem. Glad you both got along so well.
She struck me differently - beat me up, Luna did.
Felled to the flu, she spun me 'round
for pursuing her syzygistic dance;
for perusing her sidelong glance.

Gods, I'm temporally challenged.
Looked up when I got home, and saw the moon beaming from a crystal clear sky. Got all excited, and started rushing around fitting together odds and ends to take a couple of eclipse photos.
Found that my Fujifilm A340 camera with the lens pushed into the rubber eyecup of a Russian Typnct-6, 20x50, 30x50 spotting scope does a fair enough job, even hand-held (need to remember to bring my tripod home one of these days ...).

I went in the house to download the images, and see how the experiment had fared, then went to the NASA site to find out what time the moon would start to disappear.
What? It should already be in partial eclipse by now ... today is Tuesday .... bonehead! (and yes, the forecast is still calling for snow).

Hoping the weather held out for you, too, and you got a good eyeful of Madonna Oriente.
Even though light flurries were coming down I did not get shut out, and did amazingly well capturing her splendor taking into account the gear I'd hobbled together.
Just as she returned to fullness clouds started scudding in ...

As one who lives a cluttered life I've come to the conclusion simpler is better. I just don't know how to do it.

"[...] the cultivation of gung gu is not daily increase, but daily decrease. Being wise in gung fu does not mean adding more, but to be able to do away with ornamentation and be simply simple--like a sculptor building a statue not by adding, but by hacking away the unessential so that the truth will be revealed unobstructed.

"Art is the expression of the self. The more complicated and restrictive a method is, the less the opportunity there will be for the expression of one's original sense of freedom! The techniques, though they play an important role in the early stage, should not be too restrictive, complex, or mechanical. If we cling to them we will become bound by their limitations. Remember, you are 'expressing' the technique and not 'doing' the technique. When someone attacks you it is not technique number one (or is it technique number two, stance two, section four?) that you are doing, but the moment you are 'aware' of his attack you simply move in like sound and echo without deliberation. It is as though when I call you, you answer me, or when I throw something to you, you catch it. That's all."

Those pics are awesome, as ever, but for me have the rather debilitating side-effect of making me want to give up photography, hehe...
Hope you had fun, take care, spk soon,

Also not a joke, but (while digging through my 'Sent Email' folder looking for motor specifications and other techno crap), ran across this, and thought it worth a suppressed giggle or two. I have seldom heard bogus and irrelevant jargon uttered with such sincerity - well, except for late night infomercials - and took the time to transcribe it (located below the Spoiler fold).

you guys are awesome!
thanks everyone who responded!

My favourite is the bit about the cornerstone - always gets me in the gut that one... man was seriously channeling some fierce spirtual power I'll say.

Hello, Electric Goddess, I'm the eclectic clod! I hope the interesting and unexpected ways in your life are good ones. My life has been going through the old ups and downs, and right now the downs predominate. Blasted women! Of course, it's not their fault I'm the eclectic clod. Now, for some reason, the song "Dies Irae" from Mozart's "Requiem" stomps through my head. Good thing? I love it, though!

Its GREAT. I'm exhausted.. lots going on. I need to clone myself and send one of us on vacation alone.
I feel very surrounded by people, all the time, yet terribly terribly alone.
Also, I'm alternatively frustrated & exhausted and invigorated & challenged.
You seem to shimmer in the holidays. it's a good thing.
