Through a crowd of faces blurred by rain and shadow
a smile like the morning cut through the dark
and disappeared into a sky of dying starlight
so I followed, across a sea of hidden glances
The wind against my ship was death calling
my sail torn to shreds, mast splintered
but the waves carried me on into twilight
where the sky was stained glass melting
over a land of loneliness and blurred edges
a place where desert met the sea in dreams of paradise
There I found the broken ones made whole
gathered in perpetual morning on the edge of day
who walk over the dunes into unknown desolation
ready to plant their seeds when they find an oasis

Finally got around to watching Once Upon a Time… In Hollywood. It really is a love letter to the old days of classic Hollywood. Some of the best acting you’ll see. I get why some people found it too slow, but if you go in expecting to enjoy every minute of it despite that, then you probably will.

Thanks so much! And yeah, it was so different from anything Tarantino has done up to this point but still had his touch on it for sure.

I love all his movies, that’s the artist/performer in me I think. He has such a remarkable attention to detail.

This one is very nice…following the smile to the place of wholeness where there is perpetual morning instead of mourning. What would happen if all of your words were in the area of climax…you almost go there and then back away and then return and back away is my take…it is interesting to see it…but I am curious about what you can understand to you and others when every word is a going up and then an always up word…something is extra special about it…words are alive inside of areas or realms and you are between two. Something you could contemplate about in your free time. Take it easy.

Amazing phrases David just stunning imagery. I also loved the movie. I remember the Sharon Tate murders and Time magazines spread on the killings. It was a truly interesting movie as I kept waiting for the horror but life just kept going forward. The acting was amazing and I loved how they changed it some how erasing the sadness of that insanity. Love Joni

Thank you Joni! Can’t imagine what it must have been like when it happened. You’re right that all throughout, every time there was a moment you thought something horrible might happen, life just kept on going!
