Another Earth: Bridge Over Water

If on a beautiful day at the beach, we could just bridge the gap between our dreams and our reality …

Another Earth: Bridge Over Water

I often find in the solace of nature’s tranquility, my mind, floating on the ocean waves, and soaring with the clouds above. Here my dreams drift. With untold stories of yearning. A forgotten moment here, an aspiration there. All together within me.

Perhaps gone and abandoned.

Until this very thought, this very day. On the beach. And now, fully free of life’s constraints, I walk across this bridge. A bridge over endless water … The internal ocean of desires.

the deep blue sea

floods my being

– with discovery

and perpetual longing

 – unfolding


Another Earth: Girl On The Beach

A moment of drifting waves and splashing sky, with the colors of thing to come …

Another Earth: Girl On The Beach

drifting on the endless sea

the timeless invocation

of thoughts colliding

like the waves upon the shore

and the distant

skyward memories


Another Earth

No longer outside my window, but here within … Another Earth

Another Earth

Peaceful – Beautiful – Magnificent

 – the home within our hearts …


Post Canvas And Paint: Another Meaningful World

Outside my window, in a virtuous world, there can only be … a willingness to let go.

Another Meaningful World

if every day

it meant something

–          to you

–          to the mirror in me

to protect the heart

even the whole of the world

would i hold my dying breath

to let it all go …


Post Canvas And Paint: Another Virtuous World (At A Crossroad Remix)

Outside my window, in a revealing moment, I see the choices of my life …

Another Virtuous World

disintegrating

with decisions we make

about to what we dream

to whom we should be

and what it means

–          to you

and to the mirror

that stands before me …


Post Canvas And Paint: Another Industrial World (A Future Lost Remix)

Outside my window, in the last industrial park, the remnants of dreams lost and a world decaying…

Another Industrial World

the industrial age has come and gone

a global feudal state awaits for the masses

– perhaps

but for now we can only look to a future unknown

as the structure of civilization unravels


Post Canvas And Paint: Another Different World (An Unstructured Thought Remix)

outside my window … beyond the last penned poem

 – i see what I can only feel

a sense of disillusionment …

Another Different World

and it is here

 – in the world of my own making

that I can no longer provoke a sense of place within this

an unstructured world, a world without end.


Post Canvas And Paint: Another Fading World (A Deeper Understanding Remix)

Outside my window, I find that some things are without understanding…

Another Fading World

It is a complicated world in which we live. It appears as one thing, yet emerges as another…

contemplative
- destructive
engaging
- futile

A world fading and in conflict with itself….


Post Canvas And Paint: Another Unknown World (A Thought Beyond Remix)

Outside my window and with every thought, I discovered the color and design of things unknown…

Another Unknown World

The colors are all in front of me and my world will never collapse from within…


Post Canvas And Paint: Another Timeless World (An Outside My Window Remix)

The feeling of motion, spacial and timeless; the secret call to go out and see …

Another Timeless World

There is a feeling, a blissful connection with self …

Here on the ascension …


Post Canvas And Paint: Another Parisian World (A 1990 Paris France Remix)

As I Stood on the Eiffel Tower and looked across the rooftops of Paris, I marveled at the world I had discovered…

Another Parisian World

What an eclectic moment, basking in timeless beauty, here above the City of Lights.


Post Canvas And Paint: Another Creative World (A On The Corner Remix)

On a corner, somewhere in my world, I can find a place … to embrace … imagination.

Another Creative World – On The Corner

It is here, in this world, in the experience that is my life, I find myself...

Post Canvas And Paint: Another Colored World

Outside my window I saw a beautiful world of color…

Another Colored World

I often dreamed of a rainbow of colors
 - that would fill
the hearts and minds of men ...

Post Canvas And Paint: Another Gray World

Outside my window I sometimes wondered, if I could understand the world I was seeing…

Another Gray World

A world divided can sometimes find its meaning and solace
 - in the space
in-between white and black ...

Post Canvas And Paint: Another Green World – Part 02

Outside my window the world had changed…

Another Green World – part 02 (A World Divided)

Save the Earth before it is too late. It is the only home, in this physical world we will ever have…


Post Canvas And Paint: Another Green World – Part 01

Outside my window the world was changing…

Another Green World – part 01

Save the Earth…


Post Canvas And Paint: A Bridge Never Too Far (A Seeing Through Everything Remix)

Standing on the edge of a place just beyond the other side…

Bridge

Sometimes it is hard to remember what bridge has taken you this far and what lies just beyond the reach of your imagination. Be at peace. Rest assured. It is never too late to trust in a better tomorrow, as you cross the landscape of your vibrant dreams and lucid possibilities.

And as you commence on your journey, remember… only by seeing through everything can you ever hope to find the other side….


In The Reflection Of Waking Waterfalls And Sunny Days (A Photograph Of You Remix)

In the reflection of things experienced … life as we dream it …

the sun rose
like a jewel
in the morning mist
an image of beauty
 - shining 
like the sparkling
sound
 - of a distant cascade
with falling water
and merging hearts ...

In The Dark I Can’t Safely Say (A What My Life Has Meant Remix)

A path with unspoken words and transcending moments…

The path in life

i often wonder
if i am misunderstood 
 - by me
in my every waking moment ...

Images For Android Phones: Pop-Art Meets 2012 US Women’s Open Champion – Na Yeon Choi

 

Na Yeon Choi

What a fantastic victory for the 24 year old South Korean, Na Yeon Choi. Poise, skill and some rather good luck led her to her first US Major Championship. It was a difficult course depleting most of the opposition. She and fellow Korean, Amy Yang were the only two competitors to finish under-par. Yes without a doubt Na Yeon Choi is my favorite female athlete. You go Girl!


Images For HD Video: Sometimes In The Waking The Reality Is More Pressing Than The Dream

There are times when I have a visual dream. In the waking. A collage of kinetic images. And as painful as it may sometimes be, I can but only love … living my art; finding fuel for it in the most unlikely places …

a new day …

This piece is an exploration of the moment when waking from a dream. The dream persists, but so does the realities of life:  Our personal journey. As they intrude. Crash. Collide. And take us for a ride along the highway of uncertainty. I think it is here, in this moment, that we can rise from our slumber with our greatest fear or with our greatest hope. As we face the day, with our portfolio of experiences, memories, and designs, we can, with internal intent and wisdom, begin our search for a better tomorrow.

the night

- blue

with restless dreams

– isolated

in scattered refuge

in sudden refrain

 – through the darkest storm

“I think we dream so we don’t have to be apart so long. If we’re in each other’s dreams, we can be together all the time.” – Calvin & Hobbs

Images For Android Phones: A River Runs Through It

Red. The color of those who lost their lives during the American Revolution. This is a photograph of the Enoree River In the back country of South Carolina. During a recent hike, I visited the Musgrove Historic State Park. A signifcant battleground between the British, American Loyalists, and the American Patroits. Intense and bloody battles insued. A divided country. Friend vs friend. Brother vs brother.

red…
a transfusion of color
in blood and tears
– of lost
and gain
but not without
the soul in pain
– the spirit transformed
and the cries of freedom
in red flow

down by the river
brave men fought for independence
– for some
