The author, Haven Kimmel had written this poem during the first chapter of a sprawling and inspiring email conversation I had and remain to have w/ her.  Last week for some reason I was possessed by the notion of hearing her read it, for my own pleasure, but also with it in mind to put up here, so I wrote and asked her to record and send.   And she obliged!

So, lay back and close your eyes, b/c I doubt you’re going to find this anyplace else.

Note: my posting here has been pretty thin lately.  I’ve been busy.  I’ve been busy working on things I’m not in a hurry to go on about here.  It’s not my intention to talk work work on this site, at least not in depth.  Yes, I’ll drop a post updating the occasional happenings, but only so things don’t wilt here.  I suspect these are the thinnest posts.  You see, the original purpose of this site was to share the NYC Journal and other work I do that would be otherwise homeless, and also to talk about photography in the most whimsical sense of an art and of what lights the fires in my head and heart.  I have no interest in using this site as a marketing tool.  Why am I bringing this up?  B/c I’ve realized, as I’ve become busier, how the original intent of this blog was very time intensive.  The NYC Journal alone is something that I used to spend days on a week, while right now it’s lucky to get a handful of hours in the week.  But I’m not complaining, only letting you know I’m learning and making adjustments to keep things going here.   Note concluded.

On that note,,,
