Love

Color chart by Paul Klee.

In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love.
(Marc Chagall)

Black And White Spectrum Draws My Attention / Somewhere Within The Rainbow / Forever Young

All things are possible until they are proved impossible -- and even the impossible may only be so, as of now.

-- Pearl S. Buck

The young do not know enough to be prudent and therefore they attempt the impossible -- and achieve it generation after generation.

--Pearl S. Buck

May you stay forever young.

-- Bob Dylan

Valentines Can't Buy Him Or Her / Remembering my Richard (1949-2008) and Bob Dylan's Suze Rotolo (1943-2011)

Double self-portrait of am and R in early 1971.  R set up the camera.  It had been only a short time since his return from Vietnam. We were walking across a meadow to a small pond to the west of Skyline Boulevard and to the east of Half Moon Bay, California, as the sun set over the Pacific Ocean horizon several miles away.

Listen

"Together"

"... you're the missing verse in my song ..."

Listen
"Love waits forever for one and for all"
(Bob Dylan, lyrics from "Beyond the Horizon," from "Modern Times")

RAINBOW CLOUD MORNING

"At the end of the rainbow, life has only begun."
(from "Beyond the Horizon," from the CD "Modern Times," by Bob Dylan)

It's not difficult to imagine someone asking me, "Is there anything that DOESN'T make you think of Bob Dylan?"

Two dear friends of mine recommended another movie, "Out On A Limb," which I watched as a video yesterday. Not once while watching that movie, in which Matthew Broderick stars, did I think of Bob Dylan. Although the movie is described as a romantic comedy, it gave me nightmares because it reminded me of the day R returned from Vietnam in 1970 and other traumatic days of my life.

"Humor is emotional chaos remembered in tranquility."
(James Thurber, 1894-1961)

In many ways, I'M NOT THERE yet. Not sure what to say to my friends who thought the movie was hilarious. I've observed that a person's sense of humor can be as touchy as one's religion or one's philosophy of life. What can make one person laugh, can give another person nightmares.

My two friends and I often laugh when we are together. That's because we've been together during hard times. Certainly they will understand when I tell them about the nightmares.

My camera wasn't able to catch all the subtle colors in the clouds. All the colors of a rainbow were visible to my eye. Just imagine.
