Elixir: patience

Elixir, the purity of substance requires great patience.
Each reverie is a pure start, all over again.
Verification if it is needed at all, is in the act of starting again.
The elixir is in that great patience.

For all of us, patience, and its etymological ally, peace,
and the derived power to start again.

Jerry Wellman

The box is opened and a mingling begins

Locked in the box or container, the necklace that speaks of love, or is it power, or fate? 

It increases its' resonance the closer we listen.

focused daydream poetics

An applied poetics, (I am not speaking of poetry per se)  as a discipline to be focused and directed toward governance, commerce, economics and distribution. Why did they never send a poet to the moon?

How would the reveries issued by law makers and CEO's  read?

Tremendously revealing I am sure, that is if they can even find the place of daydreams anymore. And that, too, would be tremendously revealing.

In our reveries we are sovereign. In our reveries lie untold treasure.

The first day went well. See Matthew read Jules Superveille as it was written, in French,

Poetics en plein air, art created on Canyon Road, Santa Fe day one

first day for poetics en plein air

Tomorrow is the first day of the Poetics en plein air "endeavor".  Had a practice run with Matthew, ink all over my hands, my crude stick dipped in ink technique doesn't work so well on the verticle plane.

Tomorrow I'll bring some brushes and some manufactured pens.
I am looking forward to the challenge and flow.

I am currently re-reading Blanchot, with a stack of about 20 books to gather some muse energy.
Suggestions are hereby welcome. Imagistic poetry, phenomenological and epistemological  inquiry, mindfulness, cognition, and what have you that inspires one to be creative.
At this moment I am thinking jazz for aural inspiration, but the musical soundtrack of the moment is very subject to change.

I will be videotaping and putting it up here or on axleart.com
