peacock blue: opera

Mix a little foolishness with your prudence: It's good to be silly at the right moment. Horace

Silhouetted flight feathers
Black fingers spread and tilt

Bowing, burnished satin sweeps the parquet
Glowing embers light her face

Cream smooth raven’s updraft
Icy air whistles
Threatening the sky.

Resined palms applaud

Powder flies off bows
Her voice is still.

Duke Ellington

nonizamboni: “There are three things in life that people like to stare at: a flowing stream, a crackling fire and a Zamboni clearing the ice.”-- Charlie Brown-- I'm recently transplanted to Minnesota where I'm unraveling the mysteries of life while riding atop my imaginary Zamboni. I think I'm getting it. . .

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.

Oscar Wilde

A good friend is my nearest relation.

Thomas Fuller

Cats are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a function.

Art is much less important than life, but what a poor life without it.

Robert Motherwell

Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.
Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.

Groucho Marx

"I do this real moron thing, and it's called thinking. And apparently I'm not a very good American because I like to form my own opinions."

It is not what they take away
from you that counts.
It's what you do with
what you have left.
