Perfectly Terrible, Terribly Perfect

My intent is to make pictures today. We shall see. I have an idea, but I don't know how it will turn out.

Yesterday was Friday the 13th, and of course things went wrong. It started out badly and ended worse, though the weather has changed and now it is the most beautiful time anyone has ever had. It is true. My moods are tethered to light and shadow, to sun and clouds and sky, to moons and stars and humidity. The colors here are fantastic now, and the air sparkles. Everything you look at is diamond sharp. It is hyper-real, almost like a prelude to fit, except the air smells sweet and good.

I will walk today. I will walk away. I will walk until yesterday is gone. Then I will keep walking on and on. Light and shadow, tone and hue and mood. Everything is saturated. I will walk into that.

    I've read that Dante Alighieri was an obsessive walker...walked circles around Florence. your image and text reminded me of him.

    Friday the 13th...of course, I didn't even think of that when my day was going awry.

    Walk on...

    B, I am less familiar with Dante than I should be. Dangerous stuff, I know. But sauntering is good for the soul.

    R, I am not really superstitious, but I like confluences.
