I keep on dying again.
Veins collapse, opening like the
Small fists of sleeping
Children.
Memory of old tombs,
Rotting flesh and worms do
Not convince me against
The challenge. The years
And cold defeat live deep in
Lines along my face.
They dull my eyes, yet
I keep on dying,
Because I love to live.

What I've tried to recreate with my cousins. The photo is here.
I've always found it extremely funny, just the over-whelming obviousness of what the band seemed struggled to do - it's called 'Keep Moving,' so they go out on a track to really, really illustrate the title so well it might just be too much of an illustration.
L-R: D. Woodgate (drums), M. Barson (keyboards, piano, etc), M. Bedford (bass), L. Thompson (sax's) G. McPherson (vocals), C. Smyth (backing vocals, trumpet), C. Foreman (guitars).
The real reason they're running on a track was for some sort of advertisement or TV promo that never aired, so they took a still photograph of it and used it on the cover.

It is hard for me to explain why hiking and being out in nature is so important to me.
Often times, there are sections along a trail in that are quite difficult. Steep terrains,
rain, dense fog, snow, bees and other bugs, bears and mountain goats, the unrelenting
heat, wind, cold and I suppose many other additional concerns.
None of these things really matter. If you are prepared, everything will be okay.
Sore legs from a tough climb, so what. Hikers are athletes. We deal with all sorts
of problems. Sore muscles, tweaked backs, blisters. It goes with the territory. You
trust your instincts and move on. No complaining, just gratitude.
What matters the most really, is knowing that a good hike will bring about solitude.
I choose not to do things easy. Being in the back country wakes up all of my senses.
The beauty one sees and the lands that one explores is fully appreciated, as are the
many that traveled these pathways before me. I am grateful to put my boots on trails
so well loved.
Being in nature is a love affair. Just like a relationship, there are good times and trying
times. A person learns to adjust to the various conditions as they develop. It is all about
gaining wisdom, trusting your gut feelings and having a strong resolve to accomplish
often times difficult tasks.
Combining these elements with friends and photography completes the adventure and
thus begins the planning for another rendezvous with nature. I am so very lucky :)

Art & Fear
Observations On the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking
by David Bayles & Ted Orland
“If, indeed, for any given time only a certain sort of work resonates with life, then that is the work you need to be doing in that moment. If you try to do some other work, you will miss your moment. Indeed, our own work is so inextricably tied to time and place that we cannot recapture even our own aesthetic ground of past times. Try, if you can, to reoccupy your own aesthetic space a few years back, or even a few months. There is no way. You can only plunge ahead, even when that carries with it the bittersweet realization that you have already done your very best work.”

“Up The Junction”
~~~~~~~~~~
It’s the classic tale. Boy meets girl, they fall in love, move in together and have a baby. Sometimes, we mess up the “classic love story” with problems which causes our life to derail. Sure, we may wake up and realize how we messed up. Unfortunately, by then it’s three years later and it’s too late to fix that mistake. Without a Third Rail to drive us, we’ll have no place to go.
It’s not over yet! We can still find our third rail! When we find it, we need to hang on, don’t let go and follow it, where ever it may take us. We still have time to stop ourselves from being Up The Junction!

"What is the strangest thing that ever happened to you in February?"
"Met a girl on beach, searching for her grandma's pendant, lost 50 years ago. I had it, found previous Feb."
I made this for a collaborative project called A Calendar of Tales. Neil Gaiman, one of my favorite authors, is collaborating with fans to put together a calendar. It started with question prompts for each month which fans answered on Twitter. Then Neil chose one response for each month and wrote a short story. Now all the short stories are online, and fans can create illustrations in a wide variety of media (including video) to be part of the collection. One for each month will be paired with the story and published in the calendar, but the real fun is getting to be part of this big creative Thing. I really enjoyed working on this, and I am excited to see the other beautiful things people are making.
