i thought the days of print were behind us, sadly

that is until i ran across ottawa’s latest arts and culture rag herdmag

it goes after my heart with its charming small almost-square size and quirky sensibility

i don’t know who is paying for this beautiful little magazine but i look forward to cutting it up for as long as it is around. i will even likely read it first!

i leave you with… the alien and the mystery machine

my commute is twelve minutes on foot through the downtown core. i marvel each day at the urban beauty all around me. the big bright colours bring great delight.

i do get looks though. suddenly stopping to snap a worn metal post from every angle. what is that lunatic looking at?

call me crazy. i love the urban landscape and feel grateful to be a part of it.

loving my environs,

golden buddha – oil and collage – 24″ x 32″

“there are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting.”

i take refuge in the buddha

i take refuge in the dharma

i take refuge in the sangha

in memoriam

“I hold it true, whate’er befall;

I feel it when I sorrow most;

‘Tis better to have loved and lost

Than never to have loved at all.”
