Finding Norwich Ct

There are three themes to what I have to say here, Photographic Art, verbal and visual commentary and a sense of home. Norwich Ct is my current residence or home. All become metaphors for my work.


I Found Home Today In Norwich
Early morning light through the square
New work on the Thayer Building and the new Otis Libarary

Wait-Stress-Chase-FedX-Stress
"Feines" Mocca's Pains KCs Quiet
A polish girl, a long walk, stroll
I found home today in the late day sun
In conversation with Ron, his house, his history
227 Broadway often a subject over fifty two months
I found home in the hot sun and the cool shade
The saunter and the rectangle
The sound of summer in the young girls flip flops
The brief wordless conversation Flip flop, flip flop,
As we passed a little smile warmer than the sun
Flip flop, flip flop,
I found home in Norwich Today

Distractions. What inhibits creativity?

I feel compelled to write an intro, yet if the words need an intro isn't that like a joke that needs an explanation? Thoughts over coffee 7/2/06

Distractions

An uneven start. What one wants to do and what one "has" to do. Does doing what you have to do lead to time to do what you want to do? Or just more of what has to be done? Do all the forms, files, paperwork, e-everything, i-podium, MP3, 4, 5, IM, updates, upgrades, lead to peace, nirvana? A clear view of a summers day ending with cool breezes caressing your soul, inspiration to create?
Or is it "Ground Hog Day?" Sleep and wake repeat telling yourself tomorrow you"ll be creative. Tomorrow the bureaucratic, political, hollow tasks, distactions along the yellow brick road to the magic kingdom will be swept away by that gentle breeze and you will arrive.
