AL,
Feeling it helps.
It is safe to trust how it feels.
The songs take us outside of time.
Space gives way.
Limits have to let us go,
because consciousness
will not be contained.
There will open a new line of sight
that one has never imagined before.
When you go through it,
the blues morph into dream.
Imagine.
Live the music.
We're here.
Not far at all.
In the mystery,
Carmela

For Clemsy: ( Your beautiful poem has haunted me for 2 days. I thought this humble offering might resonate with anyone who has had loss. )
REMEMBERANCE
When I am low you come to me
to soothe my heart in reverie
Through memory's song so bright and clear
Of all that's shared so close and dear
And all that's true that I have known
Of season's past my life has shown
The veil of tears dims not it's glow
But lives within for me to know
What I have loved and in me still
That stays with me through time to fill
Reflected in the life I spend
And waits for me at journey's end.
Namaste

The Brief Life of Lohwatine Tyffe (2117-2382)
"I discarded the chaff from my thoughts, and created at the speed of a double whirlwind", he explained, when asked about how he built thousands of cityscapes on the Kuiper Strand. He died prematurely and suddenly when his brain interface failed to reintegrate following an accidental fall while cane twirling down Mount Destry. He was on holiday since completing the dome of Biolane Bay.
His wife and colleagues praised his exuberance and vitality. He maintained several simultaneous careers, homes, and love affairs, surrounding himself with many others who were similarly accomplished. "His education and apprenticeship required less than a century, and he had only begun to touch the surface of his potential", according to the Dean of Harvard College.
His investigation into the most efficient designs for asteroid communities began at only 43 years of age, and his protofixtures won the top prize at the New York Starfire Awards. Most recently, he led the fight to preserve the ruins of the original asteroid colonies founded in the 21st century. Several museums of settlement artifacts are named after Mr. Tyffe. His team of archeologists discovered the earliest tablet computers, presently on display at the Mars Smithsonian.
His challenges influenced his choices of work and recreation. He lost his left hand in his thirteenth year, when he was trying out for a position in the bomb tech division at early school. Some say his brain regeneration implant failed to accept the bioprosthetic, but he had to use a robotic hand for over twenty years before he could have his biologically sensitive hand installed. This gave him a special affinity to naturally harmonious aster-urban community models.
He gave special attention to the work of Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung and George Lucas, guiding the methodology and research publications of the Earth Center for Myth and Symbol. His psychological studies informed the architecture associated with industrial comfort zones on asteroids. The umbrellatium was one of his first patent inventions, followed in rapid succession by a number of other technological innovations based on study findings.
As the author of several myth-based books on futuristic mind inventions, he catalogued the visual release series for young symbiotics. His foundation is preparing to share the proceeds of his work with the New Beijing Astronaut College on Jade Row. New graduates are among the first harvest travellers.
He overcame a number of personality disorders before he took his first of several professorships related to his careers in the humanities and social sciences. His motto appears on the Medal of Health and Happiness. "Search, Find and Be Astounded".

So the first piece here is a portrait of a model, who, quoted by my instructor, looks like Marlon Brando from The Godfather. *laughs*
The second original work I want to post is a poem that I did some time ago.
------------
Sometimes I feel like I'm a speck of dust, flowing in the wind.
Searching. Searching.
Searching for a flower to call my own, to live off of it, to call home and bring peace into my heart from its colors, its warmth, its precious life giving qualities. But then I find out that it has been taken by the protector of the flowers, the bees who leech off of it, who need it more so than I do, to drink the sweet nectar, to bring it for its fellow bees, to protect all life.
And then I fly away, feeling lost again. I wander once more until I find another flower, one I call finally call my own that no one has laid claim to.
Searching. Searching.
The search goes forever on, never ending, never ceasing, always wandering.
----------------
A/N: The poem was partly inspired by the film The Searchers because of the way John Wayne's character is a searcher, and a lot of us, if not all of us, are always searching for something until we find whatever it is we are looking for.
