Genius Conquers Chaos…

Dear Friends,

A recent little ditty.

Genius Conquers Chaos

Genius conquers chaos

in a soul so near its horizon

in the mirror dark

a soul so simple

simple and eager to love

Chain sawed and/or whip sawed

ragged and ready at the edge

at the edge of time

show me what you know

or show me nothing at all

Genius conquers chaos,

reckons trouble as a gift

I’ve now seen a shadow

looking toward any decision

in the mirror dark

a face so telling

simply willing to love, love 

Genius conquers chaos,

reckons trouble as a gift

This game of life or death

our hands a ‘twined in mumbly-peg

got me on the line

our inspirations

well, now, ours and mine do tell

Genius conquers chaos,

reckons trouble as a gift

Let us go into our Silver Mine

let us dance to The Bride of Dawn

she dripping dew perfumed with laughter

down and gone and forever

forever the shadow that beckons light

all the troubles that bring delight

all the notions that surprise

let’s go down to our Silver Mine.

Genius conquers chaos

reckons trouble as a gift

Genius conquers chaos

reckons trouble as a gift

Genius conquers chaos

Genius conquers chaos

Genius conquers chaos…

My Electric Lady…

Dear Friends,

This evening's little doodle from some public domain art of unknown origin. It's pretty raggedy, as am I as I prepare to careen into slumber and dreams.

Dear Friends,

My assistant, that rancid and untrustworthy bastard snuck into my lab after hours. He mixed up my chemicals. Come swiftly, now, with the antidote, Nurse Ratchid!

Res Ipsa Loquitor,

Some More Photographic Silliness…

Dear Friends,


In casting about for a cheap or free alternative to Photoshop I've had the chance to "finger paint" with a palette of tools. None on their own really fits the bill, but it's been fun to play with my Mac's FaceTime camera and various digital widgets. I'm still looking forward to Digimage's update to ColorIt. Yes, still waiting for that excellent, reasonably priced and bloatware free software to come to the latest OS X. Yes, I've played around with GIMP. It's excellent, free and overloaded with features that I don't need for my humble purposes.

Lao Tzu Would Not Tell Me What to Do…

Tao ~


The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao;
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth.
The named is the mother of ten thousand things.
Ever desireless, one can see the mystery.
Ever desiring, one can see the manifestations.
These two spring from the same source but differ in name;
this appears as darkness.
Darkness within darkness.The gate to all mystery


Laozi (Lao Tzu) in Tao Te Ching
