Unfinished One
this unfinished project buried
in the back of a drawer
a tangle of strings and knots and beads
what was I thinking
I still don't know how to finish it
and really no interest in
figuring out the puzzle
the corner I painted myself into
I wonder why I keep it along
with other things that once held meaning
invested with a fleck of me
contingent juju
I could tame it down under a plate of glass
within a frame of elegant design
a few threads escaping
trailing out
Title it "Unfinished One" ....
it is what it is

I am I and my circumstance;
and, if I do not save it, I do not save myself. —JOSÉ ORTEGA Y GASSET
Changing the Conversation
I was born. I am always a vessel for something other than myself. The self is only a
vehicle for Foreign matter which comes from elsewhere and is destined to go on
elsewhere without me, whether it's words, smells, vision ––EMANUELE COCCIA Metamorphoses
The Story Teller
Now, more than ever . . . our place in the universe and the place of the universe in us, is proving to be one of active relationship. That is more than a scientist's credo. The separateness of our lives is a sham. Physics, mathematics, music, painting, my love for you, my work, the star-dust of my body, the spirit that impels it, my politics, clocks diurnal, time perpetual, the roll, rough, tender, swamping, liberating, breathing, moving, thinking nature, human nature and the cosmos are patterned together.
—JEANETTE WINTERSON Gut Symmetries
What you do, what you become, is not my concern. –ROBERT MCCALL
Yes, there is beauty
There is love
There is joy.
All you who suffer from
the world's miseries
Defend them.
