When you're away, I'm restless, lonely, wretched, bored, dejected; only here's the rub, my darling dear, I feel the same when you're near.

Actually, I've really got nothing to say. Sorry.
I'm near day 90 (and day 100 is getting close, too!) and I never thought I would even make it to day 50. I'm proud of myself, wow!

Family issues has made life restless for me recently. Been hard to make any updates or reciprocate comments, but I am determined to catch up. Posting an old shot of a Monarch Butterfly near Lane Cove River National Park which just could not keep still and kept flying away as I approached it. I've got to really try and take more butterfly shots now that the weather is warmer
Meditation is not all about peace and serenity. When closely examined the mind twists, turns, struggles, distracts. See it all but be unmoved.

THE RESTLESS EARTH
28 APR - 20 AUG 2017
Triennale Milan
www.triennale.org/en/mostra/la-terra-inquieta/
The Restless Earth borrows its title from a collection of poems by Édouard Glissant, a Caribbean writer who probed the question of how different cultures can coexist. The exhibition shares in Glissant’s project—a pressing and necessary one that tries to describe this unstable and agitated present as a polyphony of voices and narratives. Through the works of more than sixty artists from more than forty countries—such as Albania, Algeria, Bangladesh, Egypt, Ghana, Iraq, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria, and Turkey—and with historical documents and objects of material culture, this exhibition charts both experiences and perceptions of migration and the current refugee crisis as an epoch-making transformation that is reframing contemporary history, geography, and culture.
The Restless Earth explores real and imaginary geographies, reconstructing the odyssey of migrants through personal and collective tales of exodus inspired by varying degrees of urgency and longing. The exhibition revolves around a series of geographic and thematic lines of inquiry—the war in Syria, the state of emergency in Lampedusa, life in refugee camps, the figure of the nomad or stateless person, and Italian migration in the early 20th century—which intersect with works that serve as visual metaphors for conditions of mobility and precariousness.
The Restless Earth focuses in particular on how artists bear witness to historic events, and how art can describe social and political change in the first person. The works on view point to a renewed faith that art and artists have a responsibility to portray and transform the world, creating not just images of conflict, but images that provide a space for critical thinking and exchange. Together, these stories—poised between historical epic and real-time diary—yield a vision of art as lyrical journalism, emotional documentary, and vivid, vital testimony.

The long night of winter has settled upon the terrafirma in which I am bound by gravity’s ruthless and unrelenting restraint of my body; That same crude matter which submits its will to the demands of centrifugal force resents the soul for its desire and ability to transcend logic and revel in irrationality and therefore beats and bludgeons the soul with the varieties of human frailty…but then I ramble…
The days are cold and the light is dim
The thoughts in my head spin and spin
Like the sentence before my thoughts never end
It’s impossible to tell if one’s finished before another begins
They rattle and roll like marbles on concrete
Impatience like four lanes of cars on a busy street
They swerve and bump making a messy wake
I’d like some still waters for sanity’s sake
At last I’ve found comfort in the dawn of the night
Driving and driving in search of the lights
I think it was Hendrix who was to have said
“I still can’t make my guitar play the sounds in my head”
I used to wonder “What does he mean?”
But now the answer lays in my photostream
These pictures of light are the best way to express
They ways and the reasons my thoughts cause me stress
