The usual suspects Led the way Left, right, up, down
They asked me to join them And I have to say It looked like fun What a strange word Fun
“Join us join us” They insisted But they simply didn’t know me How much I value freedom I thought, “Better to let me fly by, Than to join you And prove my terrible Group skills“
So, I politely refused And avoided The inevitable Or perhaps Brought the inevitable to the fore Without wasting anyone’s time
Such is the life of an introvert. It is never anything personal. It’s more of a basic self-understanding applied to daily living.
Sometimes the journey takes us over seemingly endless waters. Just keep pushing.
It’s been awhile since I’ve uploaded to my print site….this one was added yesterday.
I think I’ve used this title already. It’s ok. It’s like having two children with the same name. It will be just a little awkward sometimes…
The day was very non-cooperative when I made this…. No clouds…so I turned and used some reflections coming off the river behind me. I couldn’t represent the river for this piece. So I apologized for appropriating its tonal values. “Look”, I said,”it’s nothing personal. Your ripples and such are fine, but that’s not needed right now. But your light refraction is spot on! Moon has fully cooperated and allowed me to bring her down to the fake horizon. Actually, there’s not a horizon there….it’s just the way our minds complete things. It’s Tom Foolery I suppose. So are we good?” She said, “what’s light refraction?”

One another note….my second “Dream Sequence” ambient music video is well on its way….should be finished in couple of weeks. It will feature a compilation of all my butterfly cuts and some ambient music. Here is a WIP view.
Sittin’ on a fence ‘Cause I couldn’t decide Should I travel through the portal To the other side?
There ain’t much here ‘Cept this fence and me A coupl-a bushes A coupl-a trees
And they’re boring! So boring. Never talk, nope, they never talk. They never laugh or sing either! Just get pushed ’round by the breeze. That’s all….just sorta hmmmmm And hmmmmm…or swoosh swoosh swoosh Like that.
I don’t know why I stay here! I should just fly through that portal And find a rEAl AdveTuRe!
“You need to watch out for the quiet ones.” That’s what they say. For fear of some dreaded, hidden rage
You never know when that can manifest itself.
People who live inside the self, Trust few and mull over concealed truths. Are not a fearful lot. Careful. But not to be feared.
Their life journey has taken them to the edge, Sometimes over the edge. Feeling the weight of pain guards their steps. Insights are their companion…like the lifelong pain of a broken bone. Reminders of foolish mistakes.
One quiet fool who lashes out, does not make the whole.
This weekend was very busy! I helped my daughter (3rd Saturday in a row). We are building a quail hutch for her homestead farming aspirations. The summer is ending and that typically means it gets very hot here. I am not as strong as I used to be, so I am good for 4-5 hours before the heat saps my ambition. One or two more weekends, and she will move her quail to their new home. This previous post alludes to a new project I have dedicated myself to: https://wordpress.com/block-editor/post/photographicimpressionistic.com/718
It is dedicated to simple video with ambient music/sounds for relaxing. These efforts are directed for those times when a little music or video is desired, but only in the ambient sense.
This first piece contains background music composed simply for peripheral use during times when distractions are not wanted….i.e. studying, relaxing, meditation, or even just falling asleep. The music presentation utilizes sampled orchestra instruments and phrases (multiple instrumentation recorded melodies). Future work will include natural white noise, nature’s sounds… all with the intent to help the listener/watcher focus with an open mind.
