Staring out and through the lens of a clear window pane, what confirmation have we that what we see is a reflection of the present and not the past mocking us…

I’d spent the entire day beginning 8:00 am searching the Greenwich Village area of the city, straight up 8th Ave to W 14th street; and wandering further, the immediate streets surrounding the Flatiron Building.
Pipe smoke gray sky served as blank pallet for seasonal storm clouds and had spread like a child’s finger painting, I didn’t like that they looked as if they’d come to stay; all the while questions riddled my brain silly – was I fooling myself.. was this an insane idea, a misguided attempt at self redemption.. who was I really trying to save?
The kid was a 30 year old adult who, in all probability, wouldn’t consider talking to me let alone accepting “life…
For a moment, Frozen in the window of my soul. Immersed in a disquieting vision. Knowing I will never see you again.
NOMAD
The moon quivers in the morning ecstasy Red roses dance with reflective dewdrops Heaven’s knowledge and eternity held In the rapture or a wanderer’s anguish.
AXIS
The passion shall escape While the past, Flickering hungry Is bleached invisible.
You gaze at The unfeigned light Walking out determined From your world.
Knowing how it feels To be broken And have a black hole On your timeline.
CREPUSCULE
Living between all boundaries the light is always within grasp winding through the face of another. Entangled in the capsule of darkness waiting to move forward in love and paint a new beginning.

3. Friendships from writing experiences. People who became friends for life. We lost a good one and I celebrate Fred Tarr. I found out when posting a message to him about his book, my book of choice yesterday for The Sealey Challenge of reading a poetry book a day. I will be writing up something more about my dear friend, later.

4. Daughter got creative and made envelopes. She makes lovely cards. She has made so many that we have a surplus. I saw on Facebook where a friend made envelopes, so I suggested to daughter that she make some, too. She jumped right on it. She made the pattern from an envelope she took apart. Here is one of her envelopes. See how the inside pops! She used two sided paper.

5. I read 25 books in July. Oh yes, I did! And I am reading 31 books in August. The August books are poetry books. The July books were mainly non-fiction. I will probably post about my poetry book reading after all is done.

If we are going to name more essential employees, I think we need to add comedians to the list. We need humor now more than ever. Did you know that lots of comedians are out of work? They can’t do clubs right now and if you watched the late night talk shows with no audiences, you know that’s not funny either.
So I am trying to get the word out about the best comedians out there. This week I have the funniest phone conversation with popular comedian Karen Mills. She’s not just another Karen either.
We had an 11 am phone interview set up and a little after 11 she called and said she was sorry for being a little late but she swore she thought I was calling her then realized she was supposed to call me. We laughed because you know that is reality now days!…
