Carol looks at

J.M. Barrie, Roland Barthes, Marcle Proust and says:

“We are born from mothers in bed.

We die in bed.  We have sex in bed.

We write in bed. We eat in bed.”

Rise and shine

Don’t cross the picket line

Get out of my FACEBOOK

Know what to do to fight flu

Fight the box stores and become a vegetarian

Don’t buy or use plastic in bottles or cards

Stretch your dollar  — save your pennies!!!   Walk but do not tow the line !!!

Your ass is mine !!! Be my Valentine !!!

Peace Peace peace piece

Piece of my heart for Captain Beefheart

Camarillo Brillo, baby … Lay it on the line ’cause there is only now…

Tracey Emin and her unmade bed

Is art disclosure? That Life Art Art Life position

Inspiration for  painting, drawing, video and installation

photography, needlework and sculpture?

Is art and Tracy’s un-made bed about the reveal

of  hopes, humiliations, failures, successes, excesses?

Tragic and humorous –even  illuminating

She got famous but can she get respect?

Freud and Piaget and how they made

a big fat muddle

of female trouble

Gillian says

there’s nothing wrong with WIMMIN

It is just the theory — the accepted idea — that — Male Development

is all about

Autonomy & Independence

There’s charts that mark Sky High for these Ideals

Increasing separation — Achieving autonomy and independence

but does this mean

that women fail to grow and mature

if they prefer — or must — or simply go towards –

unresolved struggle to balance

responsibility to others with a committment to themselves?

If men see morality as impartial justice

Are women less moral if they see morality

as a matter of care?

Is it better to sacrifice relationships to pursue achievement?

Or

Is it wrong to sacrifice achievement  to preserve relationships?

Or who is framing this question anyways …

The Ivory Snow model — Marilyn Marilyn Marilyn Marilyn

I saw you:

near Seabus Terminal — we said goodbye at Broadway — Stanley Park Tennis Courts — at the Vogue

You made this stranger stare

We made eye contact on the escalator

Was it me or was there something in the air at the water cooler?

You were beside me in my truck at Cambie & 16th !

You needed change for a 5 but I had to catch up with my friends.

You criticized the colour & composition of every work in the show

and had some beefs about Claire Bishop

I am still missing my leopard bra — we had 1 crazy night

after talking about Tolstoy and Hemmingway,

Che,  Cheech, Chong, Pryor, Warhol and Amelia Jones

Call me!

Text me! Let’s have coffee or a drink or we could eat — or not — or maybe just talk

so call me call me call me …

He’s our hero

He takes aerobic classes at Kit’s Community Centre

You gotta love him but his TV show

always makes me a little depressed

Hey Jose — Hey Lynda — Yo Paul and Janet

I think we just broke the planet

Snow in Vancouver — Drought in Alberta

Disappearing Frogs & Birds & Fish & Mammals

It’s not the Dolphons’ fault

I think it might be us

We broke the planet

Disposable or cloth diapers?

Aluminum cans & dead computer towers

Plastic bags & rings & packaging

Junk, Crap & Human shit

Piled high in the landfill

What were we thinking?

WE BROKE THE PLANET !!!!

Global warming or is it climate change ?

Tornadoes and hurricanes

It’s raining snakes !!!

We’re tearing the OZONE with styrofoam

We’re snapping our Geo-dome

The Tent — The Lean-to — the Igloo — Solar Home

Sliced — Diced — Crushed & Minced

We Broke the Planet !!!  Yo Paul and Janet !! We broke the planet …. We broke the planet….. We broke the planet !!!

["We Broke the planet" = quote from artist Pam Hall, St. John's, Nfld]

to croon a toon

Sing it Bing — on the road to somewhere…

for a loonie … a toonie … maybe a dabloonie

Maybe you noticed.

Things have gotten more serious with the Moon in Capricorn.

Suits.  Ties.

Discussions about rules, discipline, hard work and respect.

Virtues and vices.

Employees squirm and bosses feel lonely.

Structure-everybody hates it

’til something bad happens

Vast and wild emptiness dances between molecules in a chair.

But we don’t fall — not at all — or not usually –

’cause the wood

has thoughts of structure — thinking wood is good

respecting our need for a solid place to sit.  That’s Capricorn.

Structures that support. Inspires achievement and fear

Face a fear today. Be the authority. Make a business plan.

Recognize  freedom is just another thought….

diligence is nothing more than keeping what you want in mind

What you got to lose, Bobby? Strategize and try surprise

Freedom is just another thought

The Moon is goddess time, secret time, double time, half time ….

Do something  nice this Moontime for your skin, bones & knees.

100 mile — 10 mile — 100 meter

fresher, smaller; forget global go local
