we all are gypsies of a sort wandering traveling through this life other lives space and time here there and yon on roads less traveled - this is a written and visual journal of my own travels - imagined and/or real - come along with me - we'll dance among the stars under the sun and over the moon - share our stories around the campfire - come along -

this site is simply a streamofconsciousness rambling of words and images in which i find meaning and beauty - there is no organized order of thought or format -
poetry painting and writing on love and life and things thereof from the heart and through the eyes of a louisiana gypsy spirit travelin' roads less traveled...enjoy -

THE GYPSYWOMAN WORLD

My photo
A...WOMAN IN MOTION WITH HAIR AS DARK AS NIGHT HER EYES WERE LIKE THAT OF A CAT IN THE DARK... SHE WAS A GYPSYWOMAN... she danced round and round... from the fire her face was all aglow... she was dancing... dancing... waiting for the RISING SUN... loving caring relationships are like THE RISING SUN...we are nourished by their warmth...we are energized by their strength...we grow in their light...we find shelter and solace there...they are our sanctuary... born in the sign of the sun, i am a true LEO-love the sun and its hot orange red fire-passionate in and about everything i do-i believe in instant chemistry charisma love/lust at first sight-in the magic of the eyes and the beauty of the soul-in the instant recognition familiarity in meeting someone from a past life and in the knowledge that we might meet in a future life-i believe that we are each ageless and flawless-i believe in the beauty of the moment-the whisper of yesterday-the hope of tomorrow-the power of forgiveness for even ourselves-the absolute and total beauty of love---[credit to brian hyland and curtis mayfield]

my bleeding heart...




i dreamed again
of you
of us
last night
do i
deceive myself
to think
to dare believe
that
you
think
of me
even
a
little...
what have i done!
i cannot forgive myself!
and i cannot forget you!

earth and water



my job...

my...work
is to discover...
my...world
and then
with all...my...heart
give...myself... to it -

how many times must the cannon balls fly....


How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?


Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.


How many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?


Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,


The answer is blowin' in the wind.



BIG BROTHER - political demonstration washington dc 1986
























...there was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment - how often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork - it was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time - but at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to - you had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized....

smilin' cryin' over you -

i read somewhere that
rather than cry
because your love has ended,
it is better to
smile because it began -
and so:

happy tears
trackin'
down
my face
tasting
their
salty bouquet
when they
touch
my
lips

IT'S A BRAND NEW DAY - A BRAND NEW WAY!




YES we can
YES we did
YES we will -

shadows of me looking into tomorrow

the straight and the narrow

...i see my reflection some place so high above this wall...

They say ev'rything can be replaced
Yet ev'ry distance is not near
So I remember ev'ry face
Of ev'ry man who put me here
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released.

They say ev'ry man needs protection

They say ev'ry man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released.

Standing next to me in this lonely crowd
Is a man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him shout so loud
Crying out that he was framed
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released.

thank you, bob dylan

i m a g i n e

if YOU can IMAGINE it -
you can HAVE IT -

this is the lesson to learn -
it couldn't be any easier -


REALITY is not what your eyes show your mind -
but what YOUR MIND CREATES for your eyes to see -

YOU are not limited by logic-the past-or the world around YOU -
YOU are not even OF the world around YOU -
YOU are SUPERNATURAL - PURE SPIRIT -
YOU came FIRST -
MAGIC, MIRACLES and LUCK are the consequences of understanding this -
the inevitable result of DREAMING and ACTING in spite of appearances -
YOU are ever SO CLOSE -
simply STAY the course -
it won't be very much longer -

if
YOU
CAN
I M A G I N E
it -
YOU
CAN
HAVE
it!
