Words: smoke, yearning, current, birdsong, trail, camp, chop, vapor, monarch, mountain, twist, chill
Off trail. We set
up camp, yearning
for crackling sounds
of a fire burning.
Chill in the air,
as we look for mountain
top. Know we will awake
to birdsong, Monarch
butterflies, and scent
of ashes from last night’s
smoke. Currently,
a vapor veils treetops.
We chop extra wood.
When you set up camp,
be prepared for any
twist of fate in
the weather. Oh,
please pass me
some marshmallows.

Ahhhhhhhhh. Yes. Now, that’s the gig. Preparation for safety and warmth preparing for whatever comes for expansive experiences… life expanding like waking up to stretch in the forest on the mountain in the morning. Wonderful, experiential scene you’ve word-painted.

You’re most welcome, Purple (great color by the way, very regal). 🙂 There was just such an Expressionist bent to your words, I felt I was at a canvas again painting in oils with my hands and fingers with my thick Don’t-Get-Van-Gogh-Poisoned-By-Cadmium,etc silkscreen gloves on.
Word-painted. It just kinda dropped out. It just kinda dropped out and, “Yes! That’s some good stuff. Keep THAT.” 🙂

Do you still paint? I took some drawing lessons, but it’s been so long now since I’ve attempted a sketch.

I haven’t in years, about to start in again, though. I’ll go in long-form cycles through my Tarot, Architecture, Writing, Astrology, Poetry, Policy Writing, etc etc, and general creativity bringing things to be made that are months/years/decades long. They are all typically present, though painting submerged itself after some intense experiences around 2000 to take the long road home back to this summer.
Been a long time for me as well, and I’m thoroughly looking forward to have to acclimate to how I paint/draw now. It’ll most likely be a surprise. I hope it goes in the 🙂 direction.

Any direction will be the right one. You are a many-faceted person.

WOW, THAT was some SERIOUS Autocorrect-beyond-proofreading-bully behavior. I wrote it and I MEANT IT.Geez,Autocorrect. YUP, I’ll have to start monitoring you more to see, if like Spell-Check yearsback, I worked with an Ethical Hacker to R.I.P. ot from my ‘outer. Yup, you mean well? Shaking head and nit in a nod. It’s far more important the way it comes across….

P.S.
“Runt ya Gsmut”? Wow. Sure, i think it a good thing to minimize myself before I Luke Skywalker enter that place? Wow. That sure sets any of us up for success. ;). WOW. 😉 to EVERYONE.
Autocorrect often makes me write things I didn’t Nintendo.
These days, PROOFREADING is not enough to address the bully of AutoCorrect. May I suggest moving to Texas Anderson invoking vigilance?. 🙂

Looking over the whole thing, proofreading that kept moving, I get it. I’ll finish where AutoCorrect dafuq’d it uP, and come back to square of where you started, Purpke,
Tp complete the comtinully-fractured-fractalled arabesque of THIS comment’s circle…

I would say I should have stopped at the P.S., though this Autocorrect thing. Bully is a word

🙂 I have it at the bottom of my email footer below the signature contact stuff. It’s funny when someone reads a short email and sees it for the 1st time. THey are talking and along and then EXPLOSION OF LAUGHTER. “Oh, I gues you noticed it?” “Hell yeah, that’s hilarious!”
Thanks for liking that one. It’s a fave of mine, especially because I don’t play video games..
