Sit

Sit ... better - stand

Stand ... better - walk

Walk ... better - run

Look Up

Joe Franchi, my best friend in 4th grade, was taught by his step mom not to look down while walking.  I was taught to stand up straight by my grandfather but looking all around was OK. 

One day on a walk with Joe I was looking down and found a $20 bill (~$100 today) in the grass along a chain link fence.

In recent years in a New Mexico café I looked up and saw hanging chili peppers.

I have lost touch with Joe Franchi and my grandfather died many years ago.  Each day I try to look up and down and all around.

Analyze This

Boy in rowboat - likes the water

Boy tethered to dock - insecure boy or parents

Boy rowing the wrong way - not sure how to get to point B

Boy is me - oh boy

Howl

Garden of the Gods, Colorado, 2012

This 90 degree right rotated image from the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs suggests to me an old man howling at the sky.  No one hears, the rock does not see.  Allan Ginsberg's 1956 poem Howl spews with anger, sadness, madness and life: "I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, / ... ". The rock is quiet.
