there is something terrifying about the human condition--yet there is something beautiful yet curious at the same time. Hmm...

An Old Man Told Me This*


Walk with no shoes...walk quietly.
Walk like a new mother,
Watching her babe.
Walk, not speaking, as close to
Sunset as you can.
Walk when there are no clouds
In the sky.

Tiptoe to the waves' edge. Stop.
Do not touch the water.
It is not yet time.
Listen, until the sun touches the
Horizon.

Now. Fill your hands with water,
Foam, the sea. The Mother.
What do you feel...what do you
Sense?
They are all there...in your hands...
Dinosaurs, Neanderthal, ancestor
Reptiles, Rameses, Montezuma...

Eternity cannot compare to their
Peace.
All now gone...have found the
Beginning.
No more will they return.
We have lost them...not to bones,
Ashes.

To a place in Time where they come
And go as they please.
They will know you, eventually,
By the feel of your hands...
Reverence in your eyes...
Sorrow in your heart.
For there is no Heaven, only
Continuity...
In the Sea.

Deuteronomy 20:16-18 bothers me in that God orders the Israelites to kill "everything that breathes" when they retake the land of Canaan from the people who had settled there while the Israelites were in Egypt. OK, maybe the adults were sinful - had too much sex, worshiped idols, etc. If they did engage in human sacrifice, that was clearly wrong. But murdering every woman, small child, and baby - tens of thousands of people - seems wrong to the radical extreme. How can this apparent genocide be defended? Why are radical religious extremists today wrong - if Joshua was right? Is it just because Joshua was acting on correct orders from the right God? But I thought the God of Islam was the same one as the Jewish and the Christian God? Could we humans have gotten our messages confused? It seems we interpret God's messages so differently. Perhaps there is no answer other than blind faith.
It's the blind part that concerns me. It can not be reasoned with.

I finished this late last night. I started it with no idea of what I was going to paint and only knew that it was finished when it was finished. It probably was greatly influenced by both the music and the films I had on the last two nights while working on it. Leonard Cohen, Leon Russell, David Lynch, even Tom Hanks and a handful of others probably had much to do with it’s outcome. I don’t know what it means but I’m really happy with the results

How often do you paint on ‘auto-pilot’? And when you do are you often pleased with or sometimes displeased with your work?

I'm just starting guitar and I want to get the Ibanez RG1570 guitar. Pros and cons? Suggestions? Also, what amp (preferably a combo), cables, pedal, etc. should I get?
I'd like to play hardcore stuff like Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet for My Valentine, etc.
Can you also say how long you've been playing, what stuff you play, which guitar, etc.
Thanks!

I only uploaded them this week - they all have the same title (phonepics) and they dont have any tags. Yet I have had 448 views in 3 days.
I don't actually mind that they are getting views - I just can't work out how people know they are even there.
