Only With Spring

Only with spring

Watercolor & coloredpencil

Monrovia 1996

Oh sweet spontaneous earth...

How often have religions taken

thee upon their scraggy knees

squeezing and buffeting thee

that thou mightest conceive

gods.

But true

to the incomparable couch of death

thy rythmic lover

thou answerest them

only with

Spring

e. e. cummings

Only With Spring

E. E. Cummings

Cast your fate to the wind

Cast your fate to the wind - Shelby Flint

"The empty sky is my best friend."

Occationally in this dear life there comes a moment when we can either sit tight and watch, or stand up and throw ourselves head long into the chaos.

She Come In Colors

She come in colors

Colored pencil on paper

Calbayog City 2024

"Dad, what do you call a solar system without a sun?" Sean, my seven year old son asked me.

It was evening time and we were walking into town to get a snack.

I thought about it for a moment and couldn't think of a fast comeback so I said, "I don't know, what do you call it?" and braced myself.

"A system!" he said and looked up at me grinning. "Ya get it?" He asked and laughed.

Got to admit that made me smile.

It's about four blocks from our home to our town's downtown area. Along the way I stopped off at an ATM machine to get some cash.

When I got the money my son said to me,

"You mean you can just get money from a machine?!?!"

"Yah," I said not really thinking about it.

"Then why don't homeless people do that!!!" he asked in astonishment.

I started to answer him and then I remembered that thats basically what the government does....

I stopped walking and looked up into the sky.

Waiting for an answer that didn't come.
