‘We turn not older with years, but newer every day.’ Emily Dickinson Letter to Louise and Frances Norcross, 1872 Saul Leiter

I think that every time a major poet dies there should be a minor hurricane, like a swirl of words circling and screaming through the city of their passing.

And again the same six seconds

Rewatching the Sanctuary series. I don't think it would just be my own ear that the new theme song they introduced in Season 3 samples very heavily from "Mad World" by Tears For Fears. You wonder if they ended up with a copy-rite suit. m.youtube.com/watch?v=4dI8_5…

Structure, 3:29 AM.

That's some serious life work there.

The sky full of stars burned furiously in the water, broken up by belfries and cupolas and the slow planetary trails. Never have I experienced such a sense of peace. Time filled the heart like an hourglass. — Lawrence Durrell Lago d'Orta

One of the great things about the Sanctuary series -- a delightfully bad Nicola Tesla.

Pretty good for a 'poor artist'. In today's world he'd be getting visits from Mick Jagger and Kazuo Ishiguro.

Using my text editor to pull together related passages, a bit of editing, some 'killing my darlings', then putting it in sequence. I hated putting out my novella in progress. But there's no telling what may happen in the future. And you certainly can't post from the cemetery.

Oldman looks so young here without makeup.

The three phases of morning: Twilight -- Dawn -- Sunrise (4:26 AM)

Best dog rescue ever. Krypto saves Superman.

One thing I don't regret about my move to Phoenix 40 years ago was the music I saw there; chiefly, the early Philip Glass Ensemble at a venue of about 200 people, Glass himself conducting. fyi, 'Lightning' is apocalyptic. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiE0O0…

Archaeologists have discovered a 2,700 year-old Phrygian tomb in Turkey. No word yet on any ancient demons that were released -- but as always I think you can pretty much bet on it. 😊😉

While this inscription may be considered by some ignoble graffiti, it is of a familiar style reminiscent of so many actual Egyptian inscriptions in tombs. And it may be a metaphor also -- history is always written upon history. catchpenny.org/gpglyph.html

My second time for this one. Critics blasted it, which is why I pay no attention to critics. I found it to be an interesting expansion on Stevenson's original tale. And very nice in the little details.

I have to say how encouraged I have been lately by X members turning to art, beauty, poetry; and also to rejecting those things that, as Wittgenstein put it, do not get us any further. (If you know what I mean and I think you do.) Photo: Thorton Wilder
