Random



I'm probably the only one who likes these weirdly framed pictures.  But I do.  They speak to the randomness of vision and of life. 

Ha!  That's the sort of nonsense you hear about photographic art.  There is always "The Artist's Statement" where the photographer needs to tell what he or she is trying to do. 

Still. . . the randomness of things. 

I'll grow tired of black and white in a post or two, I'm pretty sure. 

Random thoughts.  That's all I can muster, all that I have.  I'm as mundane as a Paul Simon lyric, like the sound of a train in the distance.  A good day is a day without pain.  A bad day is when I lie in bed and think about what might have been. 

Etc.

    When my body won't hold me anymore
    And it finally lets me free
    Will I be ready?
    When my feet won't walk another mile
    And my lips give their last kiss goodbye
    Will my hands be steady?

    When I lay down my fears
    My hopes and my doubts
    The rings on my fingers
    And the keys to my house
    With no hard feelings

    When the sun hangs low in the west
    And the light in my chest
    Won't be kept held at bay any longer
    When the jealousy fades away
    And it's ash and dust for cash and lust
    And it's just hallelujah
    And love in thoughts and love in the words
    Love in the songs they sing in the church
    And no hard feelings

    Lord knows they haven't done
    Much good for anyone
    Kept me afraid and cold
    With so much to have and hold

    Mmh
    When my body won't hold me anymore
    And it finally lets me free
    Where will I go?
    Will the trade winds take me south
    Through Georgia grain or tropical rain
    Or snow from the heavens?

    Will I join with the ocean blue
    Or run into the savior true
    And shake hands laughing
    And walk through the night
    Straight to the light
    Holding the love I've known in my life
    And no hard feelings

    Lord knows they haven't done
    Much good for anyone
    Kept me afraid and cold
    With so much to have and hold
    Under the curving sky
    I'm finally learning why
    It matters for me and you
    To say it and mean it too
    For life and its loveliness
    And all of its ugliness
    Good as it's been to me
    I have no enemies
    I have no enemies
    I have no enemies
    I have no enemies
