Then to NOw.....5 years go

.....HONOR ROLL,......And now in silence are 24 more!..........MacNeil/Lehrer.........
When is it going to STOP!???

i was just putting this little image in, one done in April of '02. The tele- in the background was just that, background until I heard that very upsetting statement,..And now in silence are __ more....ONCE again! Today was 24, that's one life every hour of this day
I always stop, I MUST stop and view the images, the individuals lost. The upset lasts not long enough, nor does any action accompany my upset? The images? Mere seconds on the screen.


NOW to my life? nothing i wish to share? OR maybe I'd love to share....but fear to? Seeing someone quite a bit younger than I. "ART" stoked the embers and brought interest to this barren landscape.
Not the hunt that brought this thing, (that may or may not continue to be?)
CRANIAL CONTENTS? has hardly been?
------ deep sigh---------
b
drinking my coffee, watching my fish, grinding my nose, drinking zzz suds, enjoying an other's warmth, caress. THESE days,...........these they be, the moments had, both good and bad.

THE NEED TO CREATE!?!?!?!?! (artistically),.... beverage stifles the flow.
Of this there is no doubt.

And in closing, AS I was closing? realization that the moments are precious and the time is short, PERHAPS?.....we know not. SO forward I MUST move.
ciao,
