it's good to be
back home
on a sunday morning
near friends
writing letters again...

18.5.13

I take lunch on the balcony
and comfort
from that spec of him distant, in the water
finding home
again.

They've drifted three miles north
so strong were the waves today...
we've had to fetch them by car.

"Hey mom- we think there might be a skateboard in here"

Life, is a continual adventure when you are 14
and for that
I am in love daily....

5 degrees further south
but he can only think of here
his paradise
so we are standing between two worlds
right now
and I remind him that the sea
is always going to love him

they have their rituals
of saying goodbye...
and he walks home bravely
because there will be other waves.

Goodbye George Jones...
definitive man of country music.
George Glenn Jones was born with a broken arm in Saratoga, Tex., an oil-field town, on Sept. 12, 1931, to Clare and George Washington Jones. His father, a truck driver and pipe fitter, bought George his first guitar when he was 9, and with help from a Sunday school teacher he taught himself to play melodies and chords. As a teenager he sang on the streets, in Pentecostal revival services and in the honky-tonks in the Gulf Coast port of Beaumont. Bus drivers let him ride free if he sang. Soon he was appearing on radio shows, forging a style modeled on Lefty Frizzell, Roy Acuff and Hank Williams.

a new magazine of desert art, design and ecology...
what better way to begin 
than with Walt.

(with thanks to Siobhan)

 “Walt loved landscape and space as much as he loved people. I think the natural world cured him of so many longings. The loneliness of the desert is so big, that ultimately, you find yourself. I think that is what Walt found there—something that no human being could touch.”

life is not tidy...
more often than not
we are tossed at sea.

"To understand all is to forgive all "




Some months ago, Mariano contacted me about a show entitled
"Album of Loss "

It was strange to find pieces of my past life in the images...
houses I had lived in 
adventures I had been part of. 
 
"In the houses of the people who loved him exists a small corner, where he is remembered, honoured or even adores him. I reproduce them."
( Mariano Icaza de la Sota )



from the people who loved you
an exhibition now resides on the walls of a gallery.
