there is no truth no fact no reality only fiction chaos fantasy
our past is a fiction our present is chaos and our future is fantasy
the past is a story that we reconstruct from our memories
the present is constantly assaulting us from infinite directions
the future is an unknown projection of possibilities
there is no truth no fact no reality
only a filtered un-understood moment

A new writing situation this morning – I need a desk lamp so I can see the keyboard…
I am sitting at a small writing desk in the bedroom, next to the bed, with only my little chromebook and a cup of coffee…
It (the computer) has been sitting here for a few weeks now, un-used, un-integrated into the daily routine. And, un-used at other opportune moments. I didn’t get up to write at 1am when I had been lying awake for an hour last night. I haven’t sat to write before going to bed or when waking in the morning.
Sitting here now I can identify a number of possibilities for modification of this situation. The lamp was the first, I can’t see the keyboard, it’s not back-lit. Perhaps a shelf or two above the desk for a few relevant books or objects. A mirror, not to see myself, but to open the space, reflecting the view from the window behind me. Mirrors are windows. Windows are an escape route. To see the route is not enough, you have to go through it. You / I must turn around and jump.

“In order to clarify the problem of the poetic image philosophically, we shall have to have recourse to a phenomenology of the imagination. By this should be understood a study of the phenomenon of the poetic image when it emerges into the consciousness as a direct product of the heart, soul and being of man, apprehended in his actuality.” – Introduction to The Poetics of Space by Gaston Bachelard

Mushrooms fried in butter
Then at just the right time
The lean ground beef
seasoned with garlic
and pepper and sea salt
is added to the cast-iron pan
Cover for a bit
Open, turn the beef patty
pour on a little red wine
and cover again…
Remove the cover,
turn up the heat,
splash on more wine
and let it evaporate
Onto the plate, pile on the mushrooms
Fill the cup
Sit
Eat and drink…

the past few days I have been in my studio printing for a show in October and scanning negatives from the 70s and 80s…
the show is more of the large color portraits… I now have six printed, there may be room for eight in the gallery, but I think I can get by with six.
the negatives that I have been scanning have been rather random, as I am just trying to get things organized and in the process, I get distracted. one problem with that is that it takes 25min to scan a negative. so distractions are time-consuming…
this is a corner of my loft in Saint Paul in 1980… every place I have lived since then I have wanted to be like this… 25 feet by 150 feet, 12 to 16 foot ceilings with 75 feet of skylight…
