Long Walk Home.
Longing for a place to lay my head now,
the waves, play me a goodbye tune, gentle and repeating,
its seemed like forever, to get out of that rhythm,
the constant crash and return, crash and return, of life, like wave,
but as the sun sets, like orange burning me to move on,
I ponder this time,
self exploration, inward looking, and I have to learn,
this lesson, this time, harder than before,
is meant to push you onto life's new course,
angled passed stars, and waste of timers,
threw a few, and listened to, some classic one liners,
as realisation hits, there is nothing finer,
that to let the orange burn.

through chemistry.
I've never been one to use a lot of drugs, legal or otherwise. Unfortunately my current state of health requires I increase my drug habit.

There was a time in my life when I was constantly running from something. Just like water running from a tap. But what was I running from? Turns out I was running from myself. I'm glad that time is over, but I'm not standing still. I'm no longer running away, but moving toward self-improvement.
These images are creared for fun, but also for self-exploration as I am looking back at my life from the perspective of an older person dealing with health issues.
Over time, these self-portraits aim to show different sides of my personality, humanity and masculinity. They may be whimsical, serious, dark, sexual, optimistic, angry, serene and so on.
I hope you enjoy them. If not, look away.
Some of these images will be visible only to Flickr friends or family contacts.

A silent pantomime performer.
We communicated by me asking questions, talking, guessing, and Chloe nodding her head.
We met in the dining area of a nearby grocery store. I was with my friend Anne and she was with another face painted friend, Rae.
I asked immediately whether it was OK to make pictures and was granted permission.
I then asked them separately to step outside for better light and background.
Chloe wrote down her email address on a piece of paper for me. She also wrote:
"Chloe + Rae - Send us pictures?"
And also:
"Humanity is One Being Wearing many masks, Dancing."
And she drew a heart next to the last word.
Updating:
A couple of days after meeting Chloe and Rae, and after sending them my photos of them with a few questions, I received an email from Chloe which I share here:
"Why the silence?", I asked.
And Chloe replied:
"To break the heavy of everyday life. Miming is public prayer and public play. A reminder that things are not necessarily ordinary. So much gets lost in everyday conversation. Words say what has happened; silence says what is happening now. All of time is one sacred moment.
Miming is a chance to calm the chattering mind, and simply be a witness. Who are you without your words, without your face? Everybody. Nobody. The same spirit moves through all of us.
We live on a goat farm in northern California, and the goats are great teachers. The hardest thing about being a mime is gaining total control of the movements of the body. And the goats have it down. They are pristinely present and attentive to the Now.
What we are attempting here is a practice of play that can bring us closer to our wild, instinctual selves. The goats are also excellent teachers of patience. I don't know
if you've ever spent time with goats, but they are ornary!
Healing from the trauma of dominant culture continues to be a huge challenge. Invoking the sacred clown is one technique. Songs and poems of grief and praise unlock the soul and let our tears and laughter nourish the land.
We use tools of nonviolent communication and practices
of blending with the land and communing directly with nature; to
remember the parts of ourselves that were repressed, rejected, punished, or never nurtured enough to truly blossom.
Living in community provides a little village-shaped container for all of this self-exploration and healing. A community that comes together over what they love, over what they will stand to protect, is strong and can weather the storms.
As we respect nature, she reveals her secrets and teaches us how to live."
