Dream:  In a jewelry store looking at the diamond rings.
Amplification : A mere fragment of a dream image opens this next series.  The condensed imagery is full of context like the six word story of Hemingway : “For sale:, baby shoes, never worn.”  Guys shop for diamond rings before making a proposal.
Diamonds according [...]

Dream: Come down stairs and my Mom is visiting.  She hands me a newspaper that has a positive review of the work I’ve been doing in one of the articles.
Amplification:
It’s an interesting dream fragment for many reasons.  Blogging tends to bring a great deal of compliments into ones consciousness.  First time visitors [...]

Yellowstone Earthquakes Shake Free Memories

January 3, 2009

Since that project in the fifth grade when I created a clay three-dimensional map of Yellowstone National Park, the thermal wonderland has figured prominently in my imagination.  What’s sort of interesting: I’ve never had any direct encounter with that place.
In fact, the closest I got was ten miles from the [...]

Dream:
I’m seated in an antique car from the 1940’s, the kind that had a huge interior and a dome like roof.  It has been restored to perfection.  When I get out to look at the car I’m surprised to see that it is a 1960’s model, with long horizontal [...]

Why a nightmare?

December 24, 2008

Many of us can recall childhood nightmares. My repetitive nightmare as a child went like this: crossing a boardwalk over a swamp with alligators in the water when a train comes rushing and I realize I’m on the train track. Then at the moment of impact I’m in a chicken coop and [...]

Square Market around a Goldfish Pond

Walking through a city, still in the far East, and I come to an interesting market.  It is a square surrounding a gold fish pond.  The four halls have vendors in them and are covered by a roof, though there are no walls: it’s an open air market.  I’m not really looking for [...]

Rogue Wave, Dining in Seoul

December 19, 2008

I’m looking at a harbor from a hill on a calm day, watching the waves.  Then a rogue wave comes into the harbor at a completely different angle.  It’s acts like a tidal wave upon the shoreline, pushing water over the beach and inland.
Then I’m discussing how few westerners [...]

Like the Red Baron

I sit in the cockpit of an old biplane and at first I’m not sure how to fly it.  I’m then flying low over water and I realize I need to pull back on the stick.  Once I do, I gain control of the plane and begin to fly over the harbor.  I [...]

Walking at Grandparent’s Place

December 11, 2008

I’m walking on the street below the house my grandparent’s lived in, approaching the blueberry patch.
Amplification:
I appeared on SOBCon Blog Talk Radio yesterday (see widget in side bar) and during the preparation for that gig, I was thinking about the rural posture we have adapted and how it is relevant to my activity in this [...]

Two Men Divided

December 2, 2008

I’m in a room where two guys are posturing, trying to intimidate each other.  One wears a suit, seems like a politician : the other in camouflage holding a rifle.  They remain at opposite sides of the room, casting suspicious glances at each other.
Amplification:
This seems an image of the current cultural crisis: a dueling [...]
