~ Equanimity

174.365

nothing is “black and white”…because this is converted to BW you “see” the seashell sticks out from the rest of the rocks….in reality the rocks are a spectrum of colors, all uniquely different. i thought at first to post it in color but what i wanted to convey was that we only see what we know or at least to our understanding. our mind has a capacity to understand so much more.. to change intellect to wisdom.
one of the many reasons why i love photography, it allows us to see a view we had not thought of.

Two Of Us

173.365

Two of Us

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone’s
Hard earned pay
You and me Sunday driving
Not arriving
On our way back home
We’re on our way home
We’re on our way home
We’re going home

Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters
On my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches
On our way back home
We’re on our way home
We’re on our way home
We’re going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing so low
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We’re on our way home
We’re on our way home
We’re going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing so low
In the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home
We’re on our way home
We’re on our way home
We’re going home

We’re going home
Better believe it

lyrics by The Beatles

taken on our road trip approx. one year ago today!

Revolution 1

172.365

You say you want a revolution
Well you know
we all want to change the world
You tell me that it’s evolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don’t you know you can count me out
Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright
Alright Alright

You say you got a real solution
Well you know
we’d all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well you know
We’re doing what we can
But when you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright
Alright Alright

You say you’ll change the constitution
Well you know
we all want to change your head
You tell me it’s the institution
Well you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain’t going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don’t you know know it’s gonna be alright
Alright Alright

lyrics by The Beatles

july 29th, here in Arizona our laws will change to reflect a new immigration law…this sign sits in a small business window..i never thought in my lifetime i’d see something like this where establishments would profess their equanimity!?  have “WE” truly progressed?

Dizzy Miss Lizzie

171.365


You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzie,
The way you rock’n'roll.
You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzie,
When we do the stroll.
Come on, Miss Lizzie,
love me fore I grow too old.

Come on, give me fever,
Put your little hand in mine.
You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzie,
Girl, you look so fine.
You’re just a-rockin’ and a-rollin’,
I sure do wish you were mine.

You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzie,
When you call my name.
O-o-o-o-oh baby,
Say you’re driving me insane.
Come on, come on, come on, baby,
I want to be your lover man.

Run and tell your mama
I want you to be my bride.
Run and tell your brother,
Baby, don’t run and hide.
You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzie,
And I want to marry you.

Come on, give me fever,
Put your little hand in mine.
You make me dizzy, Miss Lizzie,
Girl, you look so fine.
You’re just a-rockin’ and.a-rollin’,
I sure do wish you were mine.

my vice

170.365

“an immoral or evil habit or practice.”

“any of various devices, usually having two jaws that may be brought together or separated by means of a screw, lever,or the like, used to hold an object firmly while work is being done on it.”

both are definitions from the dictionary and both are used as nouns.  both can hold, while one helps the other hinders our progress…

The Light Of Glory II

168.365

“As a sudden flash blinds the eyes
so that it deprives them
of the sight of the clearest objects,

so a vivid light shone around me
and left me swathed in such a veil
of its effulgence that nothing appeared to me.”

Dante’s , The Divine Comedy.

taken this morning on my walk to coffee, this is right next to the sidewalk in the middle of the city.  not an unusual sight however distressing.  the statistics are overwhelming…tragically humans everywhere suffer under their own demise…polluting our bodies, minds and earth!
