I yearn for something new

My childhood

Life is a journey,
which should happen along the journey.
We don't travel along alone,
we travel with others.
So keep those two things in mind
where are you going
and what's your influences on your companions along the way?
Keep that in mind
as you enjoy your trip

When I heard the learn'd astronomer,
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,
When I was shown the charts, the diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them,
When I sitting heard the learned astronomer where he lectured with much applause in the lecture room,
How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,
Till rising and gliding out I wander'd off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars.
-Walt Whitman

Life is beautiful

Surrounding myself with natures works of art remind me of this.
The more these masterpieces are processed the less we are capable of seeing their beauty and the magic they contain.
Adorn my alter with nuts, twigs, butterfly wings and mycelium strings
While losing my self in the intricate skin of this Diospyros or the curves of your body
these pure experiences bring me closer to the source of it all.


These smoke like experiences are concreted into this world through various mediums so others can share in the beauty. These range from music, sound, language, literature, photos, people and places.
These are some of those....

Upon starting this list I realized that there are too many events, books, music, pieces of art, places, and especially people that I could not list. Do not be offended if your name is not upon this list, I was forced to limit myself to save time during this examination week.

When two souls are touched and intermingle as the world stands still

The oldest academic institution of the Northwest Territory

The 1840s marked a time of conflict between the University and the Town of Athens regarding the use of the land at the north edge of the Campus Green. During his presidency, McGuffey planted elm trees that were later know by his name. This 1925 photo shows the majestic look of the McGuffey Elms which later died from Dutch Elm disease. The view looks westward toward Court Street near the intersection with Union Street.
