Human Shake

what a fine blend we are

DSC_1305.jpg

  We are something. Of course, just what we are is anyone’s guess. But we are. We really are. All of us. Same same, but different. Different different, but same. Each one like the other, all unique, a plurality of singulars. Everyone moving along the same desire lines with different dreams and intentions. All good, all bad, all everything in-between. Every mind an unsolvable puzzle, every life another dimension, every character a thousand plots. Happiness hoarders, decision dwellers, time traders, life laborers, love lovers. We’re puppets with severed strings, dancing to our own rhythm while chanting the same anthem. We all want the same difference, we all hold on to each other, feet up in the air. Living in the waiting line in timeless motion and fashion, ever never changing. This collection is a blender, so watch out that you don’t end up in it one day.

a glimpse

glimpse: 4714 MONKEY | And just like the drizzle, a passenger of the February mist, the people kept pouring in by the busloads until the Great Wall was flooded. They all had come to usher in the New Year – 4714, year of the monkey – but they had come in peace, elbowless and hasteless, moving together in collective harmony like one enormous serpentine organism.

glimpse: BLACK NAZARENE | Black Nazarene, you didn’t call, but they came, by the millions. Are you seeing this?
