Zoned Industrial 🏭

After my eye exam, Rebecca and I went across the street to a vacant lot for sale. 4.7 acres zoned industrial. But oh my, what a magical place it turned out to be! It’s going to hurt my heart to see some shopping mall put in here! But alas, it’s what’s on two other corners of the intersection. Including the eye place of course.

Juniper and Sage

Juniper

I’ve always like to get involved in artsy stuff Writing poetry,prose and short stories is something I really like to do for personal reasons. Not to mention just because it’s so darn fun!

Anyways rather recently that on Twitter of all places, there are bunches of writers (really good ones too!) that respond to writing prompts, most of which are short but fun to do. #prompt, #WritingCommunity, #amwriting are good places to start.

Starting today, I’ll be sharing the stuff I do there on this blog, with paintings, Art, and whatever else tickles my tickler. This poem/picture is of back home in the high desert. Background is of Butte Valley near the Oregon/Cali state-line with the sage in full bloom!

Oh yes, more photography soon too as Spring is about ready to sprong and itching to get out, Lord willing. 😀

Lookin towards next year!

A little ink and Coptic pen thing. And good Lawd yes!!! Want this year in the rear view mirror!

Looking Up!

Crossing

It’s been a long year, kinda feeling like a refugee of sorts going through pandemic insanity as an at risk heart patient. Being Christmas and all, Jesus having escape to Mexico, excuse me Egypt, to leave governmental insanity seems to fit. Ink and charcoal on paper

From Gresham With Love

I feel it’s been a bleak year to put it mildly, it’s nice to see signs it doesn’t have to be always so.

Finally, May We Have Some Peace

With the Presidential race over today and trump is being disposed … this picture I took from a few days ago expresses what I feel, peaceful. May the next four years be more like this. Lord knows we all need it!

Peace

Artsy Morning

With my old blind muse on his heating pad under the light, getting ready for another day exploring color and light and avoiding the darkness outside.

The Glenn Beck Conspiracy Theory Generator

Glenn Beck is an amazing figure in our American culture to be sure. Seemingly over the years, the sense of dread and the ratcheting up of his unspiritual tone has increased dramatically. So much so this generator has been developed as a parody. Strangely, a lot of these “conspiracies” sound alot like the ones he has been peddling on his show …

Here is the link. Enjoy!

Fair and balanced paranoia indeed!

The Value of Myth

Oh how true this is …

“The Value of myth is that it takes all the things you know and restores to them the rich significance which has been hidden by the veil of familiarity.”

~C.S. Lewis

A lot of times we get so caught up in life that things get so mundane and we forget about the truly wonderful and beautiful. An example would be the first time you met your lover, how enchanting she was … four kids ago. We need to find the time to weigh the value of truth and myth. It doesn’t take long to find the truth wanting. You know its probably really true! Maybe she is really that special!
