beyond blue

away and beyond
gone inward
seeing only blue
why don't you call?

85 Jeep Cherokee

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My address is 85 Jeep Cherokee
I packed a few things
that had not been taken away
put in small boxes
you could tuck into corners
fit nicely behind wheels.

I am gone now
from prying eyes
I can park my home in wild places.

My day spent reading
books from the library in town.
Soaring in my mind to lands
I will never see.

No worry about material possession
concerns pared down
to food, being dry, and warmth.
time to think and wonder
is this the freedom I wanted

When Spirits Murmur

I was okay during the day
but at night
I could hear the spirits
in Chaco Canyon
murmuring quietly
on the vibration
in the air
on the land
visited by me.

At night
I lay huddled
in a cozy sleeping bag
under a rustling tent
only sticking my nose out
sometimes
but it was so cold
I didn't do it often.

When the sun was out, so warm-
I wandered through the ruins
wandered
wondered
walking quietly
feeling the sacred earth
beneath my feet.

New life

I resigned from my benefited corporate job for the free life of the artist. Yes, that's right folks I left the politics behind as I have been threatening to do for months. I invested in a new computer and have been trying to learn how to operate it--no easy task although they say Vista is so simple and easy. I keep trying to make it complex.
I have been trying to get some structure so I won't always be sitting looking at the window at the snow blow by. It is getting better although at first I will admit I felt like a bird suddenly let out of a cage and didn't know where to fly.
When I learn how to operate the photo end of this deal I will post pictures, but for now I am only re-establishing contact with the outside world. I feel like I have been 'gone' for months, hey maybe I have been!

Let's all go Red! Red! Red!

Here's how it works:1. You Click and search on something "red".2. TheFind.com gives. For every search on something that includes the term "red", they'll donate $1 to Doctors Without Borders.
C'mon. You know you need red. You cannot get ENOUGH!Red shoes.Red purses.Red cell phones.Red footie pajamas.Red electric guitars - stop singing into that hairbrush and GO for it!
This campaign will run until the goal of a $10,000 donation for Doctors Without Borders is reached -- according to Doctors Without Borders, a $10,000 donation provides 10,000 people with vaccinations for meningitis or measles.

So is this easy or what people?? Let's all find red stuff and give easy money to the people who are off their arses and into doing good!!

Santa is a bit foggy

Santa is a bit foggy this year
I can't quite see him
I'll miss him I fear.

It may be my vision
or maybe my heart
I can't find the spirit
gone from the start.

Onward you reindeer
without me please go!
I'll catch up I'm sure
by July 4th or so.
