transfering these words from staying pinoy's blog...

"two things i can't yet shake off: this edward hopper picture of a lone dungareed gas station attendant and a wonderful (no other more apt modifier) afternoon with a fellow blogger at the museum of modern art, which, in a way, could be just one and the same.

yesterday afternoon, lux, a globe trotting blogger, made a pit stop in new york, her mother's provenance. after having notched up all the excitement she could, to probably last her a lifetime, in her visits to vietnam, cambodia, egypt, greece, france and, god knows where else, she decided to have some downtime with moi, mr. excitement, at, of all places, the moma, a favorite haunt of sedate, chanel wearing upper east side matrons..."

even though he was far more knowledgable than i in matters of art, i think my literally off-the-wall comments counted for something. we and the city and something unnamable were cooperating somehow; he chose the korean restaurant where, out of the millions of people in manhattan, as mentioned previously, i ran into someone i had met a month earlier in thailand.

he has a great sense of humor. another of the best things in the world, real laughter.

Define and Concur, wild like cloudlight


The Writer

Wooden boats, musical instruments and fireworks are some of the best inventions. And cameras. I don't believe in following any one person or set of ideas. There are tiny satiations like orchids along the viny forest floor, blooming unseen, more gorgeous than some could keep from weeping over. Whenever I see the occasional sun rise the colors always surprise me like the flavor of tahini in Holland. Subway cars make great rhythm along the tracks, as does wind in treebranches, the sound pattern of running engines, and sometimes clothes in a dryer. I like Sumerian poetry.
