the power of artistic reference

(or was it just the magic of art?)
when i saw the sky tonight, i couldn't help thinking of mark rothko

rainbow buddy* & the 5.lites of the Great T.

As the sun dove into the great Ocean Pacific yesterday, Miksang (Tibetan for "good eYe", photographer friends, please check the link!) came up. And so did "Five Lights of the Great Transference...", from the supplication** for the longevity of Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche.

*"rainbow buddy" is dedicated to Michael Kennedy, who gave me this lovely prism at Karme Choling, VT in 2005, and to the Sakyong, whose birthday was on Nov. 15th!

many of you good folks could care less that I was again walking around picking wood on this fine day - who could blame you? certainly not me. and so life goes on. who even remembers our good pal, walter c. breeze? he's only gone tomorrow and here today (but not in Bo.).

this time, a series of "woodpicker" songs came up - involving a barking dog or two. I proceeded to record them in my cel which crashed when it ran out of space.

freedom suite is an album by Sonny Rollins.
