Duality, The Pixel and the Silver Halite.

At the opening toThe Vision Toward Wellness Gallery Show on the 6th of December. I noticed this young women texting and thought I am so not here in the Tech world, hell I don’t have a cell phone or microwave. But the more I thought the more I realized how addicted I am to the screen. Duality, in November I had a show “Between Here and There ” from the title of a poem. But it is more than a poem it is a summary of my life and yours too perhaps. With all the multi tasking and bombardment of information/disinformation are you ever here? Is it ever now? Is there ever time to focus? Now it is the Holodaze Season and I am trying hard to be joyous. But with the amount of material that is slipped in while you are out over spending it is hard to not rant. So later today or tomorrow I will be adding a page for my thoughts so those of you who want to see my take on the world around us will be able to click a link.

“Between the Lines.” Seeing what is right in front of you. coming soon. enjoy pjc

Congressional Reform

So Simple even a kitty can see the Problem

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!!*

*I am sending this to virtually everybody on my e-mail list and that includes conservatives, liberals, and everybody in between. Even though we disagree on a number of issues, I count all of you as friends. The proposal is to promote a “Congressional Reform Act of 2009.” It would contain eight provisions, all of which would probably be strongly endorsed by those who drafted the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
I know many of you will say, “this is impossible.” Let me remind you, Congress has the lowest approval of any entity in Government, now is the time when Americans will join together to reform Congress – the entity that represents us.
We need to get a Senator to introduce this bill in the US Senate and a Representative to introduce a similar bill in the US House. These people will become American heroes.. Please add any ideas on how to get this done.

Thanks,

A Fellow American*

Sent to me by a friend. Stand up “We the People” need to clean The House and Senate. I might add One six year term for the President so that four years are not wasted on getting re elected.

Reflections of light or through light on this church wall.

Reflections have been a window beyond the surface for much of my creative life. Tomorrow night at my opening I’ll be reflecting back on many images, many periods from thirty eight years. Here is a preview from my performing arts work and a click on the image will lead you to more motion.
