Southern Storms



Taken from my brother's back porch in Mebane, North Carolina. I just found something enchanting about this photo.

Hi Aphelion

Thanks for your kind comment on RI. And best wishes for your blog - lay it on us.

I like your photo too - I think that what makes it enchanting is the way light plays in there - light is truly the finest painter - musician too, probably, if we could hear it. Sunshine moonshine starshine. Gimme mo'.

All the best

By the way, have you heard of an artist called Andy Goldsworthy? I think you'd like him.

Hello Aphelion

Thanks for your support over at RI. The profile elements you list are fine material for any continuing studies course. If the idea of combining (event type) history with its relationship to internal or felt experience interests you, then books by Morris Berman called Coming to Our Senses and The Re-enchantment of the World can be highly recommended. I do hope you are not put off too quickly by the dominance of insecure male ego expressions, (in the blog comments more than at the board). We do well to hear more women’s voices.

I moved from my home in Whitmore Lake three months ago, after living in the Ann Arbor area for 34 years. Now I am unemployed and living in a large strange city, creating new routines so that I can move forward in a positive way. I have picked up my guitar and fiddle after a twenty five year layoff, so the struggle is a happy one for now. Back in the day I played in a hardcore band called The State. If you go for that sort of thing they are still together and play around the area.

Happy struggles to you, and may you escape the traps set for you with grace and wit.
