SOMEWHERE I HAVE NEVER TRAVELED, GLADLY BEYOND
- EE CUMMINGS

somewhere i have never traveled, gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or which i cannot touch because they are too near

your slightest look will easily unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her first rose

or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut very beautifully ,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the snow carefully everywhere descending;

nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and forever with each breathing

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands

TATTED FISTS

TOTAL DESTRUCTION!!!

SLUMBERING DESTRUCTION

Compared with virtue all is vanity.

- Nikolay Gogol

RAAAAR!!!

GOGOL HAD IT RIGHT

"I do confess that I ask for nothing more out of life than devotion and respect, respect and devotion."

smart man. wish I'd listened to him sooner.

yeah. take that railroad crossing.

SUK IT

this pretty much sums it all up

Grand Canyon

It was big. It was beautiful. It was near the verge of awe-inspiring. But this tiny bird is still the best picture I took while there.
