…a sanctuary for lost words, for unusual, odd, curious, peculiar, funny, bizarre, weird, uncanny, queer, unexpected, unfamiliar, abnormal, atypical, anomalous, different, out of the ordinary, out of the way, extraordinary, remarkable, puzzling, mystifying, mysterious, perplexing, baffling, unaccountable, inexplicable, incongruous, uncommon, untypical, irregular, singular, deviant, aberrant, freakish, surreal, suspicious, dubious, questionable, eerie and unnatural words, some presented as poetry, others as prose, and quite often melded into photographs, covering such diverse and distantly related themes as Paris, archaeology, music, street art and politics along with a generous helping of perplexing perspectives. I write poetry to be read aloud. Words are only half alive on paper; they are like skeletons. Sound breathes life into them. Makes them sing. While you’re here look for things. You’ll find them… (Oh, and I neglected to mention that unless otherwise credited, all photos are my own creations)...
I love silence. I’m a huge fan of music but as much as I love music, I love silence. I miss the world being more silent. I also like it being noisy and busy. If I had to choose I would choose silence. But there’s nothing like a good song too. I like this. It made me think a lot.
Silence is the purest form of music…a song that is and isn’t there…
Ah that’s how I feel. Most of my friends are ‘early birds’ which I respect and appreciate and sometimes envy, but for me I am biologically tuned into the night time and I love how I feel at night versus morning, even with its relative beauties so I completely relate to this
“He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words.” ~ Elbert Hubbard
Ah – best quote for so many reasons
“And silence, like a poultice, comes to heal the blows of sound.” ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
