as I sit
at the ledge of life,
with my sorrow
with my wit

I ponder
on the conundrum
of ourselves

of how the world
is somewhat a Pandora’s box
no simple answers
no easy fix

on the paradox
of it all

I ponder
on our complexities
our complications
our conflicts

and now,
our grave reckoning

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

Enjoyed reading this, quite thought-provoking 🩵. And I don’t yet have the Medium app, will take time. I always enjoy both your prose and your photos, equally❣️

An abstracted landscape with a sunset and rolling hills

The quote continues:
“Artists use it to communicate real stories, perspectives, and emotions; we engage with it and, through it, connect with culture, history, and identities.”

It cannot be repeated enough - artists must make art right now.
For me, it seems nearly selfish. Because I truly love creating and it feels like play. But it also forms a vehicle for processing emotions, both for me as the creator and for you, the viewer. And, well, we need all the ways we can to untangle the snarl that is the world around us.

If you're like me, there is a ball of dread, anxiety, unrest, dis-ease inside when I think of our changing country. Painting helps me move that ball.

The hitherto silent majority didn't just speak up, they screamed

The No King's Day was a resounding success. Bigger than the June event, but what's next?

gold-obsessed imbecile
has already shat
on democracy,
and its citizens.

here, he envisions
himself shitting
all over a country
he doesn’t connect with.

flaunts such disregard,
shows much disrespect
bears no love for us,
he destroys.
