Elton John - Indian Sunset...1971

As I awoke this evening with the smell of wood smoke clinging
Like a gentle cobweb hanging upon a painted teepee
Oh I went to see my chieftain with my war lance and my woman
For he told us that the yellow moon would very soon be leaving
This I can't believe I said, I can't believe our warlord's dead
Oh he would not leave the chosen ones to the buzzards and the soldiers guns
Oh great father of the Iroquois ever since I was young
I've read the writing of the smoke and breast fed on the sound of drums
I've learned to hurl the tomahawk and ride a painted pony wild
To run the gauntlet of the Sioux, to make a chieftain's daughter mine
And now you ask that I should watch
The red man's race be slowly crushed
What kind of words are these to hear
From Yellow Dog whom white man fears
I take only what is mine Lord, my pony, my squaw, and my child
I can't stay to see you die along with my tribe's pride
I go to search for the yellow moon and the fathers of our sons
Where the red sun sinks in the hills of gold and the healing waters run
Trampling down the prairie rose leaving hoof tracks in the sand
Those who wish to follow me I welcome with my hands
I heard from passing renegades Geronimo was dead
He'd been laying down his weapons when they filled him full of lead
Now there seems no reason why I should carry on
In this land that once was my land I can't find a home
It's lonely and it's quiet and the horse soldiers are coming
And I think it's time I strung my bow and ceased my senseless running
For soon I'll find the yellow moon along with my loved ones
Where the buffaloes graze in clover fields without the sound of guns
And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior comes with a bullet hole
"Am still on Tulagi. We have been getting bombed at night here by the Japs. 12 men have been killed. It sure is hell when you can't see them and can hear that bomb whistle on its way down. The mail is coming in pretty good lately.
We haven't been doing anything but sit around all day. This place is being built up pretty fast. I have a pretty good bomb shelter now. The weather here is still hot. Have been over to Guadalcanal a couple of times looking for our mail."

and Star Shooting, a stream of consciousness poetry fusion piece, is on page 29:
The day she shot the stars:
He told her:I’ve never laid beside someone and watched the stars.
She recounted:I’ve been there for hours, with a woman and a bottle of wine. We stayed long enough to watch the stars rotate throughout the sky.
She and I, wet grass, country stars. It filled me as a little girl: dreams.
When we moved out of the pool from our evening swim, I still too drunk to remember how to not drown, she swimming us through the water, neither of us wanted it to end. We gathered materials: backpack, bottle of blackberry wine, water, beanbag and blanket. Trekked away.
We hiked across a field, following the grassy paths. Found our space beneath the moon.
Here we spread our ground cover, stripped off our wet clothes and settled into a long night of watching Cassiopeia and The Dipper make their way around the world.
We discovered that we will always love our past lovers, because they are a part of us; without them we would not be what we are. In this way we gave ourselves permission to love what is past, because it makes what is future and present.
We touched each other with soft sweet fingers; we each felt as if we were touching a mirror image of ourselves. Innocent. With talking that cured emotions that had not been cemented, we were awash in the time we spent.
By the time we began to think about going back, we had solved all of the mysteries in both of our lives.
*He:You can almost fall in love with anyone, can’t you?
She:Of course.
The right ordered words, speak some easy poetry, connect consciousness, when mouths open movies come out, grace’s dance, lover’s winds.
*She:Lifelike stories mesh with reality:Coming in from a late night out, into his kitchen. Both of us still in our Halloween costumes, he Tom Waits, me after prom, came to sit on the turquoise chair amongst the checked black and white floor. He asked me if I wanted a T-shirt, I said I had something. I changed into my transparent nude leotard and returned with my dancing stocking feet. I perched on his lap as he chain-smoked, we shared a beer.
Ballerina dancing in the kitchen, standing on my tippy toes, a handsomely dressed man twirled me, dipped me, kissed me. We spun off to bed, shed clothes, batted eyelashes, feel into the softness of cotton sheets.
My nakedness felt innocent next to his. We kissed for minutes, hours. We stirred, near in and out of conscious breaths, finding each other’s mouths and holding in for minutes.
*He to she: Instant intimacy, the worshiped one-night stand, the instant luster of new territory, wet dreams of colleagues.
She:This is my mind. Culture's implanted memories:
I want to fuck, orgasm, pleasure center, apex, cuming, this guy, that girl, giving getting. Immoral, casual, contagious, fuck without a kiss, kiss without a care, pain, irrational beings. Rap poetry, sex like animals, self-centered, inability to focus on consequences, the instant age of technology seeping into social inadequacy?
Where does the silence begin again? When will my mind think again? Existence outside of a cultural context of pornography.
*Internal dialogue of society’s sexuality crazed membranes: it has ceased.
On the roof, 5th story, arms around, before, before everything, but after conversation. Mental positivity driven deep as dreams then his kiss moved reality.
Effervescent evening, another starry night, cold, brisk, enough light to change the world even after the sun had sunk into the trees.Space, uncharted and untold. Skylight’s gold lining.
*We arrived, a perfect patch of sunlight outlined a square on his bed, I curled into the sun spot. My body, wrapped in light, moving to soak him up, him in, pores and creases, movie scenes, intrinsic poetic memory, the light catching behind the bright blues of his. Illuminated skins, cream, ivory, white, cascades of blond pouring between our eyes, connections, not losing sight. Wild, vibrant, pure.
*She spoke of the days in the creek. Days that wouldn’t move from her memory. When the seaweed clothing they drew from the earth cascaded into the sky. The silence with the animals, aquatic and ground, persistence of being. Her, she, they, we. We are all running into the sky, the day the night, the sun the bright, chasing an ever changing stardust set into the trees. These were the nights and days we shot the skies.
Naked children, let us be.
Capable on any level of being perceived.
*Something for everyone, layers in between, the sheets, wrapped up works in poetry, reality ripping at the seams. The three: something for the incapable, the one who cannot be stimulated, mind–obvious as it seems. The message, the ¬context, the depth of the meaning. The silence read from the lines in-between. The subtle messages hidden in smiles.
*Streams of consciousness spur from one thing leading to another: yet nothing is off topic. We are recounting and relating to life. Endless strings, connecting, spurring, spurting, dividing, divulging secrets and in-betweens, looping back to drive the same instances to dreams, lessons all the same: manifested in learning.
I make lists, everyday. To-do lists, projects outlines and deadlines, weekly menus, grocery lists ..... the lists go on & on
This song has been stuck in my head all night (Teenage Dream by Katy Perry). Katy has been doing some really good songs recently, i'm loving her music!
Hehe, i love writing random little notes.
I love little notepads.
I love sharpie.
And love having paint on my nails ^.
That about sums up this picture.
Don't worry, i'll be having some more creativity the next couple days!

The Montblanc Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I.
The Limited Edition collection honours the remarkable artistic and architectural achievements of Aztec culture, and the influence of one of its great leaders, Moctezuma I.
Every spring since 1992, Montblanc introduces the Patron of Art pen collection which pays tribute to those who exemplify the importance of art patronage throughout the world. The stellar names include Peggy Guggenheim, Pope Julius II and the latest being Roman emperor Publius Aelius Hadrianus. The Homage to Hadrian pen collection features gold-coated cones and cap tops, a reflection of the Roman buildings commissioned by Hadrian. This year’s Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I continues to be a fantastic example of Montblanc’s expertise in pen making.
Moctezuma I (1398-1469) also known as Moctezuma Ilhuicamina was the second Aztec emperor and fifth king of Tenochtitlan, ruling from 1440 to 1469. Under his reign, Tenochtitlan, which is now the center of Mexico City, blossomed thanks to social, economical and political reforms. The limited edition designs are released as part of the Patron of Art Homage that honours the remarkable artistic and architectural achievements of Moctezuma I. To coincide with the release of the Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I Limited Editions, Montblanc is introducing a fine stationery notebook in red calfskin Saffiano leather embossed with traditional Aztec motifs.
The latest Montblanc Patron of the Art Limited Edition 2020 collection is their Ode to Moctezuma 1 the ruler, who has shaped the image of Aztec culture and remains a great inspiration to write our own legacy. I really hope that the glyphs that are on the side of the fountain pen were chosen for their content and not just for an artistic flair. Contacting a Mayan scholar such as Floyd G Lounsbury would have upgraded their end product. I will try to locate and contact his colleagues to spread the word as they should have sufficiently deep pockets to drop the penny. Limited to 87 pieces.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_Lounsbury
Beginning in 1938 with his contributions to the Green Bay, Wisconsin-based Oneida Language and Folklore Project, while he was still an undergraduate, Floyd Lounsbury sustained a lifelong interest in indigenous languages—especially those, such as Oneida and Cherokee, in the Iroquoian family. His doctoral dissertation, published in 1953 as Oneida Verb Morphology, remains to this day the scholar’s bible for the basic structure and terminology of Iroquoian languages.
Iroquoian linguistics was not, however, Lounsbury’s only academic focus. He worked in acoustic phonetics and speech recognition; he refined new ways to teach linguistics, particularly with respect to field methods; he critiqued lexicostatistics and glottochronology; he wrote on the psychology of language; and he published on the history of anthropology. He was one of the most sought-after and influential anthropological linguists of his time.
Born and raised in Wisconsin farming communities, Lounsbury enrolled at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1932. He took nearly a decade to complete his undergraduate program because of the Great Depression’s economic necessities, but the extended period also allowed him to come in contact with a wide array of linguists and anthropologists and to adopt a thoughtful and measured approach to undergraduate education. Lounsbury majored in mathematics but also studied languages—primarily German but also Latin, Greek, Scandinavian languages, and Old Irish—along with phonetics, phonology, philology, and emerging theories of structuralist linguistics. After receiving his Ph.D. in anthropology from Yale University in 1949, Lounsbury accepted an appointment to its Department of Anthropology and remained at Yale until his retirement in 1979. Whether in classes, conferences, workshops, or personal conversation, Lounsbury’s students and colleagues considered him ever humble, generous, and insightful, with a prodigious memory for detail, a wide-ranging curiosity, and a formidable intellect.

Fountain Pen Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I Limited Edition 4810. USD$13,000.00
Limited to 87 pieces.
www.montblanc.com/en-ca/collection/writing-instruments/pa...
Moctezuma I was crowned ruler of the great Aztec Empire in 1440, thereby ushering in the golden age of the Aztecs. During his reign, he shaped the image of the Aztec state that we are familiar with today – one rich in culture and mythology. The capital city of Tenochtitlán, today’s Mexico City, blossomed under his rule. The Montblanc Patron of Art Homage to Moctezuma I Limited Edition 4810 with champagne-tone gold-coated fittings is dedicated to this supreme ruler of one of the most special cultures in world history. The overall design is inspired by an "atlatl", an Aztec spear-throwing device. The shape of the cone, refined with a hammer finish, is based on an Aztec sacrificial knife with an obsidian blade. The lacquer colors – petrol and carmine red – are inspired by the colors of the royal cloak. Two hieroglyphs decorating the cap symbolize the years of Moctezuma I's reign. The handcrafted Au 750 solid gold nib is adorned with a fine engraving inspired by the Aztec glyph for the city of Tenochtitlán: a three-armed cactus with a royal diadem and two scrolls.
Features
Clip: Champagne-tone gold-coated clip
Barrel: Red lacquered barrel
Cap: Pattern on cap underneath translucent petrol lacquer
NIB: Handcrafted Au 750 / 18 K solid gold, champagne-tone gold-coated nib with special design.
Montblanc Patron of Art Limited Edition 8
This edition, which comprises just eight pieces, is all about the pageantry of Moctezuma I and the Templo Mayor. The pen features an 18-karat champagne-tone gold cap whose elongated shape is set with diamonds, garnets, green tsavorites and multi-coloured sapphires. It is also decorated with a hand engraving of the winged Huitzilopochtli, patron god of the Aztecs.
Three-dimensional engravings of an eagle and cactus represent the foundation myth of the Aztec capital, while the two double-headed snakes symbolize renewal, fertility and luck. The spear-shaped clip is embellished with a triangular-cut green jade, and the cap crown sparkles with a Montblanc diamond. The barrel of the writing instrument is made of dark red jasper, with 18-karat champagne-tone gold inlays.
Montblanc Patron of Art Limited Edition 87 - 2020
This version is limited to just 87 pieces in homage to 1987, the year when the Templo Mayor was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list. The Montblanc Patron of Art Limited Edition 87 employs turquoise, which is a familiar stone used in Aztec decoration, and Central American cocobolo wood, a reference to the material used to make the traditional atlatl.
The mosaic is handcrafted, making every one of the pieces in the edition unique. The mother-of-pearl Montblanc emblem is embedded in an engraving of a traditional Aztec sun disc on the cap crown.
The handcrafted 18-karat gold gold nib is engraved with a glyph denoting the heart, a symbol of sacrifice. A further glyph engraved represents the second name of Moctezuma I: Ilhuicamina (meaning, “He who shoots an arrow into the sky.”).
Montblanc Patron of Art Limited Edition 888
The colors of this edition–turquoise and carmine–were used in fashioning royal garments. The sterling silver pen cap is artfully engraved with a traditional Aztec décor, and the lacquered barrel is engraved with a pattern again reminiscent of Moctezuma I’s cloak. It features four lines in 18-karat champagne-tone gold, evoking the directions that radiated from the Templo Mayor, the main temple and the literal center of the Aztec world.
The spear-shaped clip features an engraving of a quetzal’s feather, and it is set with a triangular-cut green jade. The forepart of the writing instrument and the cone are crafted from sterling silver, contrasting with the 18-karat champagne-tone gold fittings and the handcrafted solid gold nib. The Montblanc emblem, made of mother-of-pearl, is embedded in the engraving of an Aztec sun disk.

Victor Vasarely was an acknowledged leader of the Op Art movement, and his innovations in color and optical illusion have had a strong influence on many modern artists. He was born in Pecs, Hungary in 1906. After receiving his baccalaureate degree in 1925,, he transferred to the Muhely Academy, also known as the Budapest Bauhaus, where he studied with Alexander Bortnijik. At the Academy, he became familiar with the contemporary research in color and optics by Jaohannes ltten, Josef Albers, and the Constructivists Malevich and Kandinsky. In 1947, Vasarely discovered his place in abstract art. He concluded that "internal geometry" could be seen below the surface of the entire world. He conceived that form and color are inseparable. "Every form is a base for color, every color is the attribute of a form." Forms from nature were thus transposed into purely abstract elements in his paintings.
After his first one-man show in 1930, at the Kovacs Akos Gallery in Budapest, Vasarely moved to Paris. For the next thirteen years, he devoted himself to graphic studies. His lifelong fascination with linear patterning led him to draw figurative and abstract patterned sub .ects, such as his series of harlequins, checkers, tigers, and zebras. During this period, Vasarely also created multi-dimensional works of art by super-imposing patterned layers on one another to attain the illusion of depth. In 1943, Vasarely began to work extensively in oils, creating both abstract and figurative canvases. His first Parisian exhibition was the following year at the Galerie Denise Rene that he helped found. Vasarely became the recognized leader of the avant-garde group of artists affiliated with the gallery.
