Pageviews by Countries (today's readers)
around the artists topsy-turvy world...
what happens next is anybody's guess...
the bohemian spirit runs on spontaneous gas.

| A Hungarian tourist at my easel and his wife taking a photo |
the road map is pictured in the mind...
along and in between, a path is taken
 |
| the trail at the San Pedro park in Pacifica |
capriciously like the wind blows but
still mindful of where the compass needle points.

This journey promises unexpected
experiences that forge maturity
on his/her creative struggle and
evolution.

The welter of details have to be edited
to gain focus and clarity towards
 |
| heavy fog at lake merced (harding park) |
the goal of achieving a satisfactory end.
A few might cut off their ears but still will
end up to some kind of greatness.

The struggle is rough and tumble like that
of a washing machine but the
absorption in the endeavor is
unremitting.
To a musician the search for the
magical tone is invaluable ; to the painter it may
be a color to dictate the mood
and to the writer, it may be the
appropriate word or phrase...
lest it's found the
search continues. As a mountain
climber scales his way up so
does the artist/musician/writer
moves in a dialectical upward
spiral.
The days of the modern bohemian is not as bad as
it was a couple of centuries ago. Nowadays, the
thresholds to survive are better even where
resources for subsistence are dismal.
So there are those who choose to have
the freedom to create over security.

The situation of consumption dependence
between the rich and the artists is
still pretty much the same. Symbiotic in nature.
They are inevitable partners in creating
 |
| late afternoon on Powell st |
and preserving culture without which
mankind is lost in the wilderness
 |
| the bookstore on Haight st |
of anxiety and deprivation.
And peace and sanity would seem
an everlasting chase.

that's all folks!
bonne nuit!
