I want to show you the sky…
At some point on our trip, I started compulsively recording things on the video-camera in my phone. The road, the endlessly flat horizon, the way the setting sun turns everything to gold, but mainly I filmed the sky. Everything is bigger in Texas. The sky is bigger in Texas. and I’ve always loved the sky. [...]
Correcting my mind’s eye…
Oh blog-o-sphere, I’ve missed you so! I have so much to share with you, and something really special and new, but it’s taking a bit longer to get it ready, so you’ll have to wait. For now, I’m pulling from the heaps of holiday drawings I got to do in Texas. – – – – [...]

using just my words
i try to take a walk every morning after i write. there is a loop i like to take around the north part of central park, which affords me a pleasant combination of people-watching and nature-observation that i find stimulating and inspiring. today the wind kept gusting up in random bursts and shaking the leaves [...]

nyc walk
i stopped walking at that moment. thinking about my father and how i always think about him when i smoke – or was it the other way around? it was impossibly hot and humid outside and something about the moment, sitting there in the semi-dark, seemed ripe to get it all on paper… this intangible [...]
