becoming

Never judge a book by it's cover.....Nessun Dorma performed by a mobile phone salesman from Wales.

This brought me to tears almost immediately, it moved me beyond words. A complete unexpected...not only because of the genuinely humble nature of the man singing...but certainly not something I expected to see on one of these "Simon" shows. The video is not long, yet long enough to tell the story of this man and his dream beyond selling mobile phones...and one of the greatest songs I love performed in such a powerful way.

Ah, enough words. I do hope you listen to this. There is beauty unexpected all over the earth just waiting to be recognized. Sometimes that beauty is hidden right before your eyes. Perhaps in the mirror. Have I told you lately you are beautiful?

P.S. Thank you Serena Joy for showing me how to post a video.

life is like a banyan tree, root and branches are one

So was I once a swinger of birches;
And so I dream of going back to be.
It's when I'm weary of considerations,
And life is too much like a pathless wood
Where your face burns and tickles with the cobwebs
Broken across it, and one eye is weeping
From a twig's having lashed it open.
I'd like to get away from earth awhile
And then come back to it and begin over.

Robert Frost, Birches

a rerun?

Made with Fractal Explorer. Once again, I don't know if I have already posted this one. But I like it. It's like a psycho-psychedelic tiger scream. Appropriate for the day.

I'm losing ground
Well, you know how this world can get you down
And I'm made of clay
I feel I'm the only one who thinks this way

I do not want this
I do not want this
I do not want this
I do not want this

(NIN, I Do Not Want This)

Am I rightside up or upside down?
Is this real or am I dreaming?

I've been meaning to see what a grand julian looked like made into a bubble. I like it.
