Musing

today’s Musing written and published from south Calgary, near Fish Creek Park

-9C/16F, calm, clear, Gusta in hot pursuit of a plump gray bird, only one, that kept shrieking, street out, alley home . . brilliant sunshine, empty sky

no hurt is cured by lobster bisque alone – fresh French bread helps too – stirring, simmering, strained and savored helps; yesterday something was amiss, needed attention – call to arms, call to battle stations, call to the negotiating table - wake up call; awoke I did - discussion touched, touching taught, teaching begets learning, learning led to discussion - so a circle goes round

about 30 yrs. ago I bought a painting by Edmonton artist Fain; not for the images as for the colors that were right for my new office; a visitor pointed out that he paints 2 birds in his paintings, indicating the state of his relationship with the lady in his life – some very close, in others those birds are far apart and occasionally one bird, alone, over by the edge; I’ve wondered how one might capture that brushstroke symbolism with key strokes

how do we know if we are on the same page – or the same canvas, how do we measure distance when one leaves a room, how do we measure desire when no one is talking, how do we measure our world when everything important is within walking distance?

laughter helps that comes at the end, not the beginning; the beginning is where rough edges are rounded off, less edge . . . leads to worthy conversation

gentle stirring as night’s gentle edges connect to morning’s bumpy ones, night morphs - edges of morning, edges of night – favorite time of day to write or think or stare mindlessly off somewhere sweet; butterfly - over by the edge she rests, not far away, grasshopper tries to close the distance between the rough edges
