Orange Mystic Ramble

A  L  O  H  A !
Ramble on Rose by Grateful Dead on Grooveshark 
                                            "Click" does the pic trick!
"No Pretty Clouds" lament the flyers

" There is an eagle in me 

that wants to soar, 

and there is a

 hippopotamus 

in me that wants 

to wallow in the mud. "


Carl Sandburg






"What happened to my pink elephants? "
"You drink like a fish!"

“ Write what disturbs you,

 what you fear, 

what you have not been 

willing to speak about. 

Be willing 

to be split open. ”  


Natalie Goldberg










Castle Cloud Pow Wow - Los Indios Del Cielo

" The Great Spirit 

 is in all things,

  he is in the air we breathe. 

 The Great Spirit 

 is our Father, 

 but the Earth

  is our Mother. "


Big Thunder 
 Wabanaki Algonquin



Layered, but not Trifling

" Be on the alert

 to recognize your prime 

at whatever time 

of your life

 it may occur."  


Muriel Spark





" I paint self-portraits

 because I am so often

 alone, 

because I am

 the person

 I know best." 


Frida Kahlo

    Frida you knew yourself best because of the egomaniac nut job you loved and married. Bought to houses across the street from one another but saw each other by invitation only...odd chica, pretty odd.

    What stunning photos! And the words...especially the Muriel Spark quote. So very true. I guess we always have to be as awake and alert as we can be to fully appreciate our lives.

    I love how that fish appears to be on the bar table. Great perspective there. And of course, I love the self-portrait for its fine subject matter. :)

    I think I'm a hippo most of the time. Love the solitary whallowing in something slimmy. Somehow it cleanses.
    Have a great weekend Claudia.
