Still Sundays
May 6, 2012.
The moon rode into Earthtown last night. I could hear its supersteps around midnight.
How wide are your shoulders, Time?
New York City is a funny bone of time zones. Usually when we are awake here the West Coast is still asleep and over the Atlantic people are ending the day. How many more ways can I be in between worlds?

I finally finished a fiction short story yesterday. It is 700 words over the submission guidelines but other than that it is finished. I could make it into two different stories I suppose: keep one for myself and the other one for submission. Or I could diligently ... read more »

Today doesn’t need a date, 2012.
Trying to understand how I see New York City and how an artist sees what is and is not really there.
A weekend ago I was saddened by my inability to successfully articulate to another what is it that I “saw” in New York City. It is like a fairytale that is true only if you believe it. I questioned whether the lens through which I have viewed New York City is tainted with unearned affection. Something I have just made up!
I know many people who live here because they have always lived here. There are also people who have no desire to visit other towns ... read more »

a few weeks ago near my work…i came across so many birds all at once…if i didn’t know any better, i would have believed i was indeed some tree…

While looking through them, I really missed them…and, in ways I can’t quite articulate, Prague…one of the most mysterious and haunted cities.
I decided to share these today (I had their permission to share when I took them, just didn’t get around to posting them).
You can learn more about the talented Jan Pohribny here. And in an older post, you can learn more about his magical village, Únětice , where their house is located.
Thinking of ... read more »

Fountain, 2011 by an amazingly inspiring artist Winn Rea.
Plastic Strips Hanging Down
Value of Water Exhibition at St. John’s Cathedral.
There were lots of mediums through which artists participated. I thought this one was very cool given so much plastic is wasted for water bottles. There were others works by Winn Rea at the Cathedral but this was the best one I captured to share. You can read more about her here.
I will aslo be contacting Art for Water. They had some amazing art and words to share as well.
