Istanbul , February 2012

Here are my personal favorites from 2013 for gray-card's  top 5.

Thank you all very much for a wonderful year, for your support and inspiration. Best wishes for 2014.

"The afternoon is an ember burning itself out. The day turns, dropping its leaves. A dark river files at the edges of things.                                    Tranquil, persistent it drags them along, I don't know where. Reality drifts off.                              I write: I talk to myself                          -I talk to you."                      

Octavio Paz - "Letter of Testimony"

"The hour lifts me  time hungers for incarnation  Beyond myself  somewhere  I wait for my arrival"
