Moving Art - California
I was in LA last July. I caught these pieces of art in photo in order to research them later. I guess it might be time to do just that...
Amazing stuff...

Seize the Day and Thoughts On Failure
Pardon me while I meander through a field of thoughts...
Sometimes we fail and it's our fault. Can we then acknowledge that we have been beset and seized by our own bindings. such shackles and mire may have to this point held us fast to our own mediocrity. Can we then to love our failure and forgive ourselves? We travel from such limitations through the pain and angst of emerging into our next level of personal liberty.
Today, we might become aware of personal limitations and thus of the fresh and vital opportunity that awaits us.
Carpe diem is often misquoted as "seize the day." a better rendering of it is to "gather the day." Gathering the day is both a reference to making order of the day(to gather it together) and harvesting the day. The implication is that all that we need is robustly present and waiting around us, a field of possibilities - or at least the next necessary possibility. It is therefore our destiny, our very calling to claim each day unto us. Such effort is most often the doing of simple routine, seemingly mundane tasks. Such effort does, eventually, result in the very real manifestation of our dreams.
Just for today, may we renew ourselves and simply do the next right thing. Carpe diem!

Some Words...Spoken
I wanted to try posting some audio to accompany the written word. I've reposted a short creative piece I wrote a few weeks back and added an audio message. Please let me know what you think.
Thanks to AudioBoo for the technology.
"Before she quickly brushed it aside, her single tear drop traced a trail - like a silver scalpel slicing so quickly through flesh that the very bone is revealed before blood begins to rush through the wound - such was this tear - a momentary revealing that she cared too much, that her need was too great and that her hope for recognition, salvation actually, would not come. Not tonight..."
