FLORALFAWN

The world has become a very small playground or is it just; I may have succumb to adulthood at the ripe age of 53. I don't want to say it out loud, because I do know I have a very real "Wendy" within. I , too, want to fly and play with the mermaids and say funny things to the stars. I, too, giggle with the flowers and mingle with all animals, trees & etheral beings. However I feel as if I am suffering from a kind of illness or deficiency . That has thrust me into a rusty, stuck, old tin toy. I love the elders as much as the teeny tiny tots~ I fear not the elder years , more so, I fear the lack of enthusiasim , passion and thirst for that kiss. It's as if I have died inside. God tell me what vitamin, supplement , what reflection I have lost myself. What does it take to alleviate this rut I am in.

Voices tell me so

My time coming, any day, don't worry about me, no Been so long, I felt this way I'm in no hurry, no Rainbows and down that highway where ocean breezes blow My time coming, voices saying they tell me where to go Don't worry about me, nah, nah, nah Don't worry about me, no And I'm in no hurry, nah, nah, nah I know where to go California, preaching on the burning shore California, I'll be knocking on the golden door Like an angel, standing in a shaft of light Rising up to paradise, I know, I'm gonna shine My time coming, any day, don't worry about me, no It's gonna be just like they say, them voices tell me so Seems so long I felt this way and time sure passin' slow Still I know I lead the way, they tell me where I go Don't worry about me, nah, nah, nah Don't worry about me, no And I'm in no hurry, nah, nah, nah I know where to go California, a prophet on the burning shore California, I'll be knocking on the golden door Like an angel, standing in a shaft of light Rising up to paradise, I know I'm gonna shine You've all been asleep, you would not believe me Them voices tellin' me, you will soon receive me Standin' on the beach, the sea will part before me Fire wheel burning in the air You will follow me and we will ride to glory Way up, the middle of the air And I'll call down thunder and speak the same And my work fills the sky with flame And might and glory gonna be my name And men gonna light my way My time coming, any day, don't worry about me, no It's gonna be just like they say, them voices tell me so Seems so long I felt this way and time sure passin' slow My time coming, any day, don't worry about me, no Don't worry about me, nah, nah, nah Don't worry about me, no And I'm in no hurry, nah, nah, nah I know where to go Songwriters: Weir Robert Hall, Barlow John

The Original Sin

the sin of the tongue the sin of the slippery saliva when no one has anything better to talk about..... the stashing of soaking wet memories it's not slander as much as it feels like slashed tires only when it comes to thee as a certified envelope served up like hot porridge on a saturday mourning scould the soul that is how it feels when the wind howls no more the quiet may heal your wounded brain but the heart in all of it's coNfounded madness will never forget the pain of a stolen innocence after all is it not the original sin

But I do not want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want the true risk, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want the sin. Sir Aldous Huxley

Late Great Charlie Watts

Interesting thing about drummers, they are the heartbeat of a good group- they sit behind the frontline, somewhat bashful, quiet spoken... and yet is fully present; in the way they play? They are a completely different animal then the rest of the band, a very neccessary one indeed. For one of the oldest touring rockbands- a true bummer to have lost such a great musician, a great person.

note to self

“The quicker you are in attaching verbal or mental labels to things, people, or situations, the more shallow and lifeless your reality becomes, and the more deadened you become to reality.” ~ Eckhart Tolle but what about the fate of our friend.... i guess in the real time frame of life - nothing really matters- cause death awaits all of us. how shallow an human it is to be sad.....

Johnson&Johnson

You murdered my friend Jamie Uncle Z pulmonary EMbolism reported ill feeling immmediatly after shot booked a flight to see us and two months after his vaccination, he is no longer on this physical plane Would he still be here had he skipped the hysteria of covid Had he got the actual virus would he have survived it? How many people are out the door and around the corner waiting to sue these untouchables? SHAME ON YOU JOHNSON AND JOHNSON

moto lust or moto love

When one creates a piece , and parts of it come from someone or somewhere else.,.such as a collage artist does- there is a certain line one crosses by taking something that was made by another. I guess it is ballsy to just take it & build it into your design- your creation. There are many levels of justification. How much of it is from another, which part of it is yours. What if the idea and the creation are yours.. but the images used are not? This sort of Robin Hood..taking and then giving something back... Is that the return on the take? Suppose I asked permission for the photographs but couldn't get it.... what then? A sort of Romeo & Juliet- A marriage of images- but holy forbidden. The viewer would decide, I suppose. The law would slap down a fine, but the piece would stand as is because it was born- even if it was an illegitimate child- it stands.

The lady layer , printed to reflective vinyl- rests on top of herself, she is also printed in the background photo; and laid directly on top as to permeate her halo. I wanted to just do one entire reflective print but all good things in all good time. The fingers of the background lady marked the black vinyl for the words Moto Lust. I cut and laid , with personal precision- her fingers ever so slightly molesting the word Moto..... the reflective vinyl is somewhat of a hidden nuance, as one will see as one spends time with it , how the days shadows dictate the character of the piece, depending where it hangs in the house - as the light and shadows of the daylight will illuminate and follow you. Ever so endearing a character to the very piece itself. Back to the question of ownership, Did Warhol ask Campbell's Soup or Brillo before or after he created his silk screen prints? The concept that : "Good artists copy, great artists steal." Picasso has me scratching my head. What did Pablo Picasso experience to have said that. I look at images, they stir something inside of me- all sorts of images. When a couple of images seem to belong together is it not the responsibility of the chosen to make it happen? Thus in the follow thru the art is born and the rest is history. Is it easier to ask permission or forgiveness? Is justification my denile in action? I think not, but what is art? Ad art, painting art, collage art, installation art..photography as art.... when I etch my doodles in the sand and the ocean sweeps in to magically erase them, or to slowly undo my sand castle...etchaskecth.... is this not what time does to the artist- as the art stands still, in time, on the wall, - the spirit of them spins forth in all composition and inspiration? If there is an element in something you look at that stirs you.... then there is purpose- even if it disgusts one? Good, bad or mediocre-- sometimes I see things and I say, "Oh I could do that!",,, and then I try and Yeh , not so easy after all. But the key is I tried- or rather I did it. Not once or twice - I did it four times before I got it right. I can stand back and think Oh I love it- or I hate it- That is really all that matters. BUT I followed through. This one I like , and frankly 80 x 60 - it is the largest thing I have ever created to date.Perhaps that's why it took a couple tries. I want to give up all the time. It really does help when people believe in you, but mostly I am learning that I must believe in myself.

The secret of genius is to preserve the spirit of the child until old age, which means never lose enthusiasm " - Aldous Huxley -

Me, thY spirit, & eYe

it is not showing off , it is listening. a loan from god, while visiting for a short while- on location within me.

a clean tapping from the aquifer of faith, as it spews forth like old faithful. timed just so from the inner sanctum of the universe. thank you , I, so generiously say, the giving is the receiving. a perfect cycle .

FLY OR DIE- BORROW TO MIND

SO I have always made collages, and have found that I am branching out towards these digital collages. In nature a tree can not control where the branch pushes forth a new direction, if it will grow strong and create an arm or a mere twig- anyway- this style is something that is coming thru me- i adore them- i acknowledge that the images do not belong to me, however I use the things that spark something within me- I identify with the Little Prince, where I am beyond any sort of borders... feeding my rose , exploring my little planet - adourning my work with others talents that speak to me. Simple an sweet,,, mine but not mine at all. Ask yourself - what is yours truly., No one owns anything but for a very short time on this physical plane. I claim nothing- I own nothing, My soul resides inside this physical body for as long as I am slotted here.... therefore, I choose to fly with these creations, love them or leave them. I am ok with that.

FREE BRITNEY

I have always loved Britney- eventhough ,at times, I was a closet fan, because people are brutal and it was more just to avoid scrutiny. However, growing into not giving a fuck what other people thinK... I just saw the Britney Documentary and OMG, what a crazy world we live in. Watching men ask her questions on talk shows - straight up gross. Men love you until maybe you grow into your own , and they think maybe you have broken their shackles? I loved when she cut all her hair off- she was like fuck you to all the media world and all those vampires trying to make a buck - the paparazzi need to be shut down, the whole media world- it will never happen- but ONCE AGAIN, SHE SHUT THEM DOWN- so if she went into hiding to prevent the money makers from making money off her- then so be it- but her father needs to go to jail and so does the judge that keeps Jamie in full power over Britney needs to be disbarred. You go girl- I got your back.

The music that moves my art work.....

YOU 2 MOVEMENT

As the women stepped up to call out their abusers- this , the me2 movement- where many men were brought out to deal with the consequences of their very own actions. Some were put into jail, others fired.... years of misused power- FINALLY CAME TO LIGHT. I wonder - will the same thing happen at some point to all the filthy old creeps up on the Hill? I don't know if anyone else feels like I do? - None of the people on the Hill are working for the best interests of the general population - the proof is in years of inaction and corporate involvement - Somehow I feel like We are working for them, when the truth is they work for us?!! Every penny the tax payer makes goes towards their life time pensions and health benefits. When will the "People" step up and call out the old folks that have made a career out of being politicians? Where are the term limits? When will we get to see consequences to their Atrocious ways? Do the "People" know their constitutional rights? Will the "People" take a moment to look up from their IPhones, from their egos, their busy lives important selves? - look up to see that it may be too late- LOOK ZOMBIES____ freedom of speech has been removed -& no one cares. because it is being used to shut down "someone" they don't like- so that makes it ok? Numb aND BLIND to the fact that this blocking of posting or blocking of our basic freedoms.... is against the law? How does big tech get away with this? The very platform I blog from is most likely going to flag me for my point of view. That feels scary. Sort of like what is happening in Hong Kong. Are we following suite? Try to find a search engine or social media platform that isn't selling you out. Good Luck. Is this America? Very Very Old people are calling the shots.... if I was living off the land, in a teepee I would have trust in my elders knowledge. Elders from my tribe , from the earth, people open and honest, living from what they need- transparent lives. How awful it is what our government did to those people, and continues to do today. the original members of a genocide- WHERE ARE THESE PEOPLE? Their voices were quelled and stomped out. The politicians that have amassed to old people in for life----- These elders running the show on capital Hill should all be fired. Will anyone every start to hold them accountable to the bullshit they pull up there. Wasting valuable time arguing across the isles with one another. Run the country and stop acting like a bunch of highschool assholes. Term Limits need to be put into place,in order to insure the need to serve the public - in which they were originally hired to do. All of them are making connections - taking bribes - vigging one another and literlly getting rich up there - no just off of " the people"- the sheeple, the herd... but off of the connections and liasons they all make up there on the dirty hill that is our capital Our disgrace. It is disgusting the manipulation and lies they all take part in. WHat a bunch of money addicts- drama war mongers. FIGHT THE MACHINE_ KNOW YOUR RIGHTS ....it's not just me IT IS YOU TOO. IT IS ALL OF US- AGAINST THEM- THEY ARE NOT WORKING FOR US! THEY ARE OUT FOR ONE THING AND ONE THING ONLY. Where does your patriotic truth lay? OUTRAGED> outrageous/ YOU'Re ALL FIRED!
