Cardinal Woman
Ink jet print, 12/2013
This recently completed painting speaks for itself, I can't think of any words that would add anything to its beauty, except maybe "Death is the beauty of the rose".
Pajama Friday at Barnes and Noble
I went to Barnes and Noble yesterday. B+N is one of my favorite hangouts. No matter what city I find myself in, (haha, that makes it sound like I get around a bit, when in truth I have become something of a recluse) the comfy environment and the pleasure of scanning books while drinking coffee and eating a croissant draws me in.
I browsed the books. I thought about buying a philosophy by Neitzsche but the jacket quip emphasized nihilism, a perspective that rejects all moral principles and holds the belief that all human endeavor is futile. This was not for me, I have decided to hold only those beliefs that support happiness or promote compassionate love. I would rather be happy than right. Especially since the pursuit of right beliefs has only left me confused by all the contradicting information.
I found the book, "Depression for Dummies", and thought about reading it but then I thought, I can do depression all by myself, I do not need to read a how to book, I can do sinking into a mudhole of despair without any instructions.
I can also pull myself out of the mud. All it takes is a little denial of the facts of life. Positive thinking works but since it is so difficult to frame the facts of death and injustice in a positive light without turning summersaults of irrationality, I just call it denial.
I saw a perky person wearing cartoon printed flannel pajamas standing between the paned glass doors and the magazine display, she was amusing. Then I saw two other people wearing apparel appropriate for couch potato time. I guess it was pajama Friday. Very interesting. A kid in a grey onesie checked me out. I bought Dave the book, "Exceptional Chickens" and a jigsaw puzzle of a world map.
But wait, in this one blog, I posted a picture of youthful bloom/cold death. I wrote, death, beauty, rose. And, I wrote that I deny death. I guess that you can see the problem here, confusion?
Bye now, gotta go watch my favorite new TV channel, it is called "Crock A Shit Chanel", have you seen it? My fave program is called, "Composting for Doomsday".
