 Rainbow Without Cliché I want to say rainbow without cliché past color even but I can’t get past the place where it patterns perception with hope It is grainy there in my eye as if taken with a camera of dirty lens gritty with the grime from fingernails clawing fragmenting the purity with perception is it right to turn such natural wonder into art or give it qualities that are treasure filled? What if that curve of color was as judgmental as I and took my gaze all soft and out of focus with the romance of it and pushed me from the balcony onto the canopy with all the diners looking up at my splayed imperfection what a thought I know but sometimes my mind just goes then drops me sort of like that and I wonder about all the preconceived sensibilities that get in line with the steady marching of time and just want to feel the wonder. ------ photo by Martie [This message has been edited by Martie (11-01-2002 03:01 PM).] |

Martie, sometimes just sitting back and feeling the wonder of it all is so refreshing and rewarding. What a beautiful picture and post! If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream... |

I want to say rainbow without cliché past color even but I can't get past the place where it patterns perception with hope ================================ what a thought I know but sometimes my mind just goes then drops me sort of like that and I wonder about all the preconceived sensibilities that get in line with the steady marching of time and just want to feel the wonder. ================================= Leave it to you to say what I cant... this is exactly where I am at... I want to write all I saw and felt on my first time at the ocean..but I want the words to truly say how awesome and beautiful it all was...But I HONESTLY dont think something as God-Given Amazing as the ocean is can be captured with mere moth words. *sigh* tis not easy being a moth  YOU always write the right words  Unknown to us, there are moments when crevices open for time to come alive with begining. |

You splayed on a canopy - Now THAT I would buy tickets to see - lol. You are such a card, Martie. I'm so glad I've come to find you and enjoy your wit and words. |

 (smiles) Oh my gosh, I just love this, sweet friend, I too wish we could see things in the preconceivable realm, then nothing would ever seem like a cliche and it would be like finding that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow only realizing it is moe than just gold! (kiss on cheek) This is lovely, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Oh Martie... this is ART! Every single line...but especially these.... What if that curve of color was as judgmental as I and took my gaze all soft and out of focus with the romance of it and pushed me from the balcony onto the canopy with all the diners looking up at my splayed imperfection Excellent, fantastic just perfect  hugs sweet lady Maree |

is it right to turn such natural wonder into art or give it qualities that are treasure filled? yes, i believe perversed a beautiful scene from nature to share with us, and even more importantly it has inspired this beautiful poem, continue to have fresh ink on your pen and a roll of film in your camera. The ladders of life that we scale merrily Move mysteriously around So that when you think you're climbing up, man In fact you're climbing down-Nick ca |

Martie, your mind is a rainbow of it's own. It's beauty, color and construction are promises of beauty in themselves. This is beautiful... |

~And I just love how your mind just goes and then how you share it here,...so good to read and see. Love this. *Peace Martie. (every rainbow is your own, as we each see it through different water droplets, so someone standing next to you would see a different rainbow, their own rainbow). |

fascinating perspective intriguing inspiration to think outside the box perhaps seeking the part of the spectrum that is infrared undiscernible by the naked human eye and only found in scientific measurement of reactions by that which is displaced or hidden by its presence Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
