Entropy lays to rest all the ghosts of eternity.

If all I have to show the world is my intellect and my children, then my children are far greater emissaries.

All photos are art:
once you set composition to subject, you create, therefore art;
the medium simply provides a more accurate brush

"'I'm sorry, no one can take your
Call right now' no one ever can,
For I laid me down and went to sleep
And never will wake again."

from "Belinda, RIP"

Men do not hunt
For the Queen of Summer;
Men hunt to forget her

Remember the past, learn from it;
Anticipate the future, prepare for it;
Act in the present, effectuate it;
But live your whole life, no regrets.

from Pain is Not Suffering

THAT moment - that last one:
That instant where you cease to be . . . ;
It's not the ultimate obsession, but it's close;
And needs no metaphor to dull the blade,
For like most pain, it's best
To take it in raw, sharp, scream.

Don't ask the Burning Bush for knowledge,
It knows only the flame that licks its leaves.

From "Egret Savior"

Never define yourself by the man who happens
To be in your life at any given moment.

from "It's Self-Reliance, Girl"

You were a rose bled dry on her own thorns:
Torn by your insights, ripped apart by reality.

From "Jo Betty"
