Observe a common object many ways set forms and functions under-go a shift . Stability does not mean things must stay once you reject the concept of a rift between what's fact and fancy and let drift your thoughts along some very diff'rent lines you too may change the water into wine . Such is the stuff of nonsense and of dreams that things may be as are yet given chance they can become that which they did not seem where faeries sugar plum learn how to dance . Some draw or paint or sculpt a few may prance this line that keeps the two worlds far apart each medium well done becomes an art . But rare indeed are those who make us see what lies beyond the realm of mortal ken their tools en-compass all we'll ever be three points in time reside within their pens . Blank pages calling out to them and then delicate balance shifts into new light as all is merged into the ones who write . |

Hey Doc! You been samplin' out of your black bag again? Cause I think that whole line between reality and fantasy is startin' to blur for ya. But then again, I'm just a rooster who'se flown the coop. All the same... I'm hip to your colors, dig the paint scheme... I'll be checkin' out your other art as I strut along. Peace my man. PS... I checked into the Stute and sampled you Word Stew... You see any of the Justin Clan... tell em' I'm a comin' and all my feathers are in a mess. |

An astute assessment of the power of the written word. All of art has the power, to my way of thinking, to transform what we "think" we know to what we think we "know." (o: The form is lyrical, the enjambment smooth. Another fine mess(age), Doc. (o: Thanks for it. Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

I haven't read much of your work, and wasn't sure what to expect, but enjoyed your artfully expressed observations on what constitutes art. I do think this ought to go to the top again. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |
