Playful Video – Fun With Form


I make videos for fun. The images are often a series of playful mistakes or coincidences. The final form seldom represents the original plan. Of course, I am always pleased when other people watch and share one of the series of mistakes and coincidences. It is just playful fun with form using this marvelous canvas of technology that allows almost anyone to play with creation of form in a manner that was once only the privilege of a few.

The video below was the most “popular” pieces of form play of last year, probably because it features Eckhart Tolle. He is the spiritual teacher whose voice lead me out of denial and alcoholism. Had I not been lifted, I would not have enjoyed the dance of the humming birds that hot summer afternoon. The moment of sharing a bit of beauty with you, here and now, would not be happening.

Enjoy Yourself!

Playful Thought

The first snowfall comes to this part of Wisconsin.

I am waiting for the birdies to show up with their cute, little shovels.

ROBUST – a word – a coffee – an economy

Here is a of look up robust at Dictionary.com

1540s, from L. robustus “strong and hardy,” originally “oaken,” from robur, robus “hard timber, strength,” also “a special kind of oak,” named for its reddish heartwood, from L. ruber “red” (cf. robigo “rust”). Robustious (1540s) was a common form in 17c. (cf. “Hamlet” iii.2); it fell from use by mid-18c., but was somewhat revived by mid-19c. antiquarian writers

Remember how the word cropped up with the sound of percolators and the smell of coffee?

Even if you don’t remember, robust lived in the world of the aroma of coffee and Mrs. Olson.

Then along came the health care debate that snatched robust from the sensory past and put it smack dap in the hands of the public debate as observed Bruce Reed in the Slatest

Notes from the political sidelines.

Robust, the unlikely new leader in health reform buzzwords.
By Bruce Reed Posted Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2009, at 2:19 PM ET

When House Democrats rolled out a new health reform bill last week, much of the focus was on one word not found in its 1,990 pages—robust. “No ‘Robust’ Public Option,” declared the Christian Science Monitor. “Not enough votes for the ‘robust’ public option,” reported Politico. Even the top-secret House whip count that leaked to the press used the same exact term: “Whip Survey—Health Reform With ‘Robust’ Public Option.”

Now every candidate for every office has a robust idea, pitch, or plan to change, transform, stream-line, shrink, or revitalize our economic brew.

Have a robust weekend !

My Soical Security # is…

You want to steal my identity?
It’s Yours gift wrapped
No returns, no refunds
So, will you agree?

ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø

I won’t take it back
When the bills come due
And the lower back pain?
Excedrin – take two.

ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø

Lie awake at night
Turning a tossing
The children, the mortgage
and not enough flossing.

ø¤°`°¤ø,¸¸,ø¤°`°¤ø

I won’t be around
Since you will be me
Just send your regrets
To your iden-tit-ee.

THINK – I found an elf??

In a small village near by near the Black River there us a cave-like rock formation which is quite miraculous in itself. This is the actual and untouched digital picture of the interior of the formation.

When I downloaded it and looked at the left side of the picture and near the bottom I noticed this floating figure…do you see it? (Please say: “yes”.)

So I cropped out the portion of interest and futzed with it a bit on Photo Shop…

Did we find an elf or what?

Night and Day

Night and Day


do you see grace by which we live
night and day searching the other
spent, rapt, flying seeking
empty, full, yes, and no






and what is this thing presented here
this body from whose and such
that wants a touch of madness
a sheer flight from system sanity






for we are not we but more
god this is so primitively true
we know it we sow it and long to reap
bind me lay me a holy harvest…you






we touch plunge and retreat
a warm hand in cold spring water
little by little used to it now
licking the drops of dripping courage






like night and day





do you see it?





do you see





do you





do

















do you see grace by which we live

If you will play Black and White world with me
up here I am safe you see? you see!
…. cause of the line?
up here I will call “what will be”
where freedom is tethered not me…not me

if we were countries the lines would be borders
we could build armies! and great walls with mortar!
yes now with the lines there can be war!
yes weapons for peace keeping loving and more!

Oh my, how I love this line geo-ME-try!
along the equation of xy – me


I am putting a line here below

in truth a line
________________________________
is honored by grace

I am putting a line here above

If you will play Black and White world with me
down here was before you see? you see!
….cause of the line?
down here where we went – I call “the past”
where mystery enchanted and first became last

if we were spirits we would see through the folly
petals from flowers…she loves me by golly!
we could make lines…one here and one there
criss-crossing, bisecting, moist lines and bare!

oh my, how I love this line fil-I-gree!
swirling, converging to sub-max-ill-ary!

Where You Are

¿o©º°¨¨°º©-

quiet still far away
in a breath
u kneel to prey
lightening flickers
off far away
that’s where you are
far away
do you hear it thunder
do you feel it rain
where you are

storm!, hail!, rain!
down on me
blow!, blow!, ye winds
like a memory
of a real old song
the kind that makes you laugh
at what used to be
