The goddess opened luminous, #jade eyes that looked right through me.

#jade glows
quietly, coolly

it is stone
mirroring stars

I gave her that jade necklace on our
first anniversary. From that time on,
she would always put it on before
we made love.

She’s gone now, her fire extinguished, but that necklace
still glows, warmly.

I’m praising you again. But it is sincere.

To me, that means that it comes from something deep inside, and that in itself makes the photo powerful, meaningful.

I don’t know if it was intentional, but the subject of the photo seems to be shaped like a brain

#vss365

go deep

go deep into your #undersea
merge with something vast,
dark

and there, find light

free associations:

• brain scan of someone remembering a peaceful garden

• peace, bombed

😍👍

In the dream, I found myself
suspended #undersea.

There the world’s chaos and concerns were muted.

At first that was pleasurable,
but soon I felt a growing numbness.

Panic set in, and I seemed to be surfacing with increasing speed.

I woke to my problems. Relieved.

Get-outta-here!

approx 75% of what I post, is written within an hour or two from waking - and this is how I feel: slow and somehow "deep" - like meditation

Some wars are just, and the fallen are heroes.

beyond the ridge, or
#undersea, or
in foreign soil, or
inside yellowing letters

where time loosens
and bugles fade

and in our hearts -
fallen heroes

#vss365 #haiku

dawn, upon waking
my thoughts circle slowly
like #undersea currents

#Trickery is a tiny, cool star at the rim of the sky that is so close you can almost touch it.

“ And for my next trick . . .

YELLOW!”

said Sky to Earth.

#vss365

in bed, asleep

seeing, hearing, touching
loved ones long gone

what #trickery is this?
why? what purpose?

#dreaming

at night
the steam locomotive
zebras the sky

#vss365

it swims at night
against the flow,

it surfaces only when
the moon is thin

trickery is its cloak,
#trickery, its delight

Role reversal.
I post the enigmatic photo.

#vss365

I am going to snap my fingers
and disappear for a few hours.

#trickery

#vss365

#investiture is #trickery

all the regalia, symbolism
ceremony and speeches
change nothing

if we were assholes before,
we remain assholes after

Photography is many things.
Sometimes it’s about #trickery.

But I have to say I never could rule out the possibility that she had some sort of ability. I gave it and give it about a 7% possibility. If she was faking, she was a skillful, and actually a likable, faker.
