"From the Heart to the Page"

2007-06-23T19:29:00.000-04:00

More paintings by Josephine Wall. Her link is on the left there. I've put a few things of Josephine's up before. There are some artist's that paint with love. She is one of these.

My "serious" artist friends always say,"...yes very pretty, but it says nothing". It please's me to tell them that it's because they're,..."not listening!" For more than 100 years kindly or sentimental art has been held in contempt by the western art world.

Whereas "installations" of torn up card board or buckets of dried shit are seriously discussed as if they were important "artistic statements". These are extreme, and perhaps unfair examples, but it's my blog, and I'll rant if I want to.

So you sentimentalist's out there paint till da cows come home! Remember,.."Nice is Spice!"

"Summer Solstice"

2007-06-23T18:52:00.000-04:00

The Solstice is the time when the sun is at the height of its power. It is the longest day of the year, midsummer. This is the time when the gardens are producing fruits and vegetables of summer. Wildlife is flourishing and the trees are covered in green leaves.

However, it is also a time of transition. After Midsummer, the sun begins its yearly descent. The days will get shorter and shorter until the Winter Solstice when it begins its rise to power again.

Midsummer is also a time when it is said that fairies abound. They bring their playfulness and merriment, especially at Midsummer’s Eve. Shakespeare’s popular play “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is a story of the Queen of the Fairies Titania and her king Oberon, having a bit of fun at the expense of the mortals.

(As usual with important Holidaze I'm a few days late in mentioning them. I do beg your pardon. 'But then both you, and the Great Mother ought to be used to my spiritual sloppiness by now.)

ENJOY THE SUMMER!

This sweetie pie, and her human pals have a link over on the right. Please go, and have a peek. I know you'll love it. Ya know it's just as we always suspected. When we're not looking cats are running the world.

When we're at class, working or asleep they're busy. When we're not around these little guys are writing trashy novels, screenplays for summer blockbusters, bad poetry, and junk food jingles for the radio.

In other words without cats there would be nothing to read, see or listen to. We owe them so much. Bless their devious hearts!

"Faerie Legend"

2007-05-07T07:05:00.000-04:00

Faeries have been seen all over the world. In forests, jungles, even lawns, and backyards. Wherever there are flowers, trees, vines, and tall grass there you'll find them. The tall wild grass seems to be their favorite though.

Yes they love being amongst the blooms, and flitting about neon signs. They skim over ponds, and hover between the limbs of trees. However the sea of green grass the wild grass has a special attraction for them.

If you wish to meet a faerie go there. To the wide fields of the countryside. Step softly, and whisper your greetings for they are easily startled. It would be good if you bought a gift.

Perhaps hard candy or a shard of bright colored glass. Even better a small flute or tiny toy harmonica. These they especially prize for they love music. Bright colors, candy, and music.

Now when you see them don't be surprized. Because at first glance they seem to be children. Graceful children with wise bejeweled eyes, and shimmering wings to match. Though very young in appearance they may be old, much older that you,..or your mother or grandmother. Legend says that faeries live as long as trees, maybe as long as the mountains.

Seeming frail they actually have the strength of ten men. Because of their years, and strenght. Faeries have the wisdom to live in love, even innocence. The innocence of age. The gentleness of experience. These beings sing, play, dance, and dream both day, and night.

Joy, and a deep reverence for life, all life is their way. Kindness is to them what breathing is to us. True they are not Angels. They have faults, make mistakes even, though rarely, commit sin. They are fallible, and mortal, but are slightly holier than humans.

There are legends, stories told by soldiers through the ages. Tales of wounded, and lost soldiers laying helpless in jungles or forests. Stories have been told by these men about seeing "them" the shining ones. All of man's wars have tales of winged children made of light that save the wounded, and maimed.

These bright beings would seek out, and find the forsaken, and heal them. Wounded survivors from the wars of the Pharos to the tank battles in Iraq have sworn that kindly, winged sprites had saved them.

With smiles, and gentle touchings their wounds healed. Shattered limbs were made whole, burns vanished. All pain, and terror would lift, and fade as like the passing of a storm. Then in a moment. In a blink of a whisper they'd vanish in a blur, and shimmer of rainbows.

Leaving only a faint breath of their songs.

Strange Faeries

2007-04-26T05:47:00.000-04:00

Again I'm on thin ice this time with "Strange Faeries". While I've been surfing through all of the world's doll sites I came across alot of Nipponese pages. Their view if faeries is far more eroticised than ours. Whereas we hint at it they're overt,..often in the extremes. Some of it is beautiful, some grim, and I think cruel. They seem to have this thing about blood.

Well I decided not to censor myself on these pages. I truly hope I have not too deeply offended some. 'But I want to broaden the scope of this blog. I have no idea where we're going, but it should be interesting. Please stay, and lets see where we go!

"ALICE, PG 13"

2007-04-26T05:01:00.000-04:00

This lolita "Alice" art is by Tomizaki Nori. I almost censored myself on this one, but didn't. I am fascinated by Alice. I did one post on her on my main page "Sydneyland". I coupled it with the first alice movie made in 1904. One Hundred, and four years ago. Yes I love dolls girly dolls included.

(Btw, there's a chance that the host site might withdraw these images so if there's just empty space that's why. I'll put something else up in it's place.)

"Tis Faerie Time"

2007-04-23T02:06:00.000-04:00

Well there I was in bed with what I've told my pals is, "a flu, cold, cough, fever monster thing!" It's almost like being stoned. Everything is sort of sideways, and different colors. I'd be enjoying this if I wasn't so sick.
Anyway being in this frame of mind I naturally thought about my wee pals the faeries. Gee how I loves them. City faeries are neat, but you have to be quick to spot them. Hey this is a tough town, and faerie or not you have to be fast to get over around here.

As I mentioned in one of my story's city faeries are attracted to neon lights. Well that, and some of the brighter traffic signals. It's not unusual in summer btw to see city faeries around pizza, and ice cream stands,..the neon. They like the ruby red of tail lights too. In fact that's how I saw one of my first faerie's.

This happened a few thousand years ago when America was great, and even regular Joe's had jobs, dough, and laff's. Well one night in this long ago happy time I was sitting next to my dad on the front seat of our old Buick.

A 1955 sky blue, and white two tone if ya wanna to know. Well as is the habit of kids everywhere I was squinting my eyes to make the passing street lights look weird. I had just begun to do the same with the tail lights ahead of us when I see something.

Wow that's a big bug I thought. Only when I stopped squinting it wasn't. A bug that is. It wasn't tinker bell either. Ya'know whole generations of rubes got real wacky ideas of what faeries look like 'cause of all the Disney propaganda. Thing is faerie's is just like folks. Just alot smaller,..with wings,.. and feelers, sometimes extra arms'n stuff, magical powers, eh halos, and eh. Well okay faerie's ain't like folks at all, but so what.

Well there I am sit'n next to the old man as we're roll'n through Queens on our way back to Brooklyn, and there's these little faerie guys darting around the tail lights of the Oldsmobile in front of us. Hey, com'on ya can't make this stuff up.

Now ya'see by this time I'm an 'experienced' kid, and know better than to tell my dad that I'm seen'n glow'n bug people buzz'n around the butt-end of the car in front of us. Hey gimme some credit. I still remember the penance I had to do for one of my previous visions.

I foolishly told my folks that I saw flaming demon bat beasts flying out of an open manhole on Flatbush avenue. My mom made me kneel on a steel rod while I said the rosary ten times over for being in league with Satan. Heck I never even met the guy.

Sooo, I keeps my young trap shut, and enjoys the doing's of the wee folk in front of us. If dad saw anything he wasn't about to tell me. He knew better too. Still they was fun to watch, and they meant no harm.

Not like that seriously scary furry sky-monster-thing. Ya know the one on that famous "Twilight Zone" episode w/the pre-"Trek' Shantner. The hairy bastard, not Shantner, just floats in the air chase'n after airplanes. When he catches one he rips their engines apart so they crash. Remember that one? Forty years later it still scares the crap out'a me! Rod you was one cool genius!

Yes very interesting, but Uncle Sidney what the hell are you getting at with all this?

Ah, I'm glad you asked! See with the warmer weather coming we has to prepare for "Faerie Time!" As we know from tradition handed down from kid, to kid. Generation to generation, like the varied rules of stick ball or ring-a-leave-v-o, or ring something. It varies from block to block around the world, but you know what I means.

Like "Ring Around the Rosy" passed from kid to kid for nearly a thousand years. The knowledge of "Faerie Time" in the same way has come to the 21st century.

Come June at midnight on that Longest Day all "Faeriedom" awakes, and begins their summer frolics! Which is to say it's their mating, and general screwing around w/humanity season. Eh, playful screw'n around. They never hurt anybody. 'Least not on purpose. One thing tho' don't rob or try to hurt them they don't kid around about that sort'a thing. They may be seriously cute,..some of them, but they have sharp thorns. Get my drift?

Otherwise we're all welcome to dance the summer away with them. That business about them abducting folks for years is crap told by the Church, and the CIA. They don't do that,..the demons on the other hand. 'Word to da wise,..stay clear of them gumba's.

How long has this been going on? "Faerie Time" No one knows. Maybe it's from before Ur or Babylon. Legends is full'a all sorts of traces about "Faerie Times", and it's goings on. That Shakespeare story kind'a got some of it right, but he mixed it up with all the class, and culture bullshit of his times. I guess we all do that in a way.

But "Faerie Time" is real. My older cousins told me, and I told my special friends at school, and they told their friends, and so, and so, and so through the years, and generations, and ages to come. An unbroken tradition from kid to kid.

When I was little I danced in a faerie circle with the sweet wee folk by the light of a full moon in Prospect Park. Then again on warm steamy night in Central Park when I was a happily crazed'n horny teenager. Now in my demented pissed off late middle years I still hear their songs.

Bless the little fuckers!

A Note to my pals out there.

2007-04-23T01:28:00.000-04:00

It just occurred to me that some might think I'm fronting for these various art doll folks. Believe me I ain't. I just felt it was right to say who the artist's were, and where their sites are. If someone were using my Angel drawings on their page I'd think it a courtesy if they mentioned "Sydneyland" or one of my related pages. Okay are we cool on this,..good.

WHERE DO GAY PEOPLE COME FROM

2007-04-20T03:20:00.000-04:00

Where do "Gay" folks come from? Well far, far way in the magic Land of Summer. The Great Queen of all the Faeries has a book. In it are the names of very 'special' girls, and boys. These youngsters were born with particularly gentle souls.

Every year on Soltice eve the Great Queen sends forth the Faerie G-d Sisters, and Brothers of these heartful ones. The faeries fly to earth. They soar to the strange, and sad world of men. When they arrive, like the good Peter Pan of legend, they look for, and find their spirit kin.

Quietly, nimblely they climb through the windows of palaces, and tenements. They tiptoe to the bedsides of their earthly siblings. Who more often than not were awake, and waiting.

In a splash of golden sparkles, silver shimmers they fly! The children of earth, and their faerie kin hand in hand fly to the moon! They fly to the farside of the moon. The farside where the machines of men never go. The farside is one of the hidden Lands of Summer.

There grow forests of rainbow trees, there one can climb candy mountains. You can swim in clear tropical seas, and sleep in beautiful pavilions made of dreams, and wish's.

The children of earth arrive, and are greeted with love, and laughter. They spend months in joyful play,learning, and dance. Though back on earth barely an hour has passed so the tyrants, and bullies are none the wiser of their leaving.

Their faerie sisters, and brothers take them for for rides on winged zebra's! They fly amist the clouds of Jupiter through the rings of Saturn then to the land at the end of the rainbow. Where the Great Queen of all the Faeries,..the true Faerie G-d Mother teach's them to speak in poetry, and paint with light.

After this, and much, much more their faerie kin take them home. Be that home fine or sad, but now they are strong. They have the "seeing", and no person or circumstance can take that away.

Their faerie kin take them home. Tuck them into their beds give them a sweet kiss on their foreheads, and take their leave.

Next morning when they awake,...they're Gay.

I originally wrote, and posted this on my "Inkplum" gay page. I kind'a like it, and thought it might look good here. Hope you liked it too. More of my stories, and faerie tales are spread throughout my blogs, but mostly on "Sydneyland",...see link on right.

GAIA, OSHUN, MARY

2007-04-19T04:29:00.000-04:00

The Angelus

The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary.
And she conceived of the Holy Ghost.
Hail Mary, ...

Behold the handmaid of the Lord.
Be it done unto me according to Thy word.
Hail Mary, ...

And the Word was made Flesh.
And dwelt among us.
Hail Mary, ...

Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
That we may be made worthy of the promises of the Divine.

This is one of the last Catholic prayers that I still observe. I speak of Her on my "Hell" page. The Blessed Mother, or Mother G-ddess is very much in my Heart.

She is the bringer of life. It is She who painted the void with dreams, and fire. She is revered by all reguardless if you see her as the Mother of Jesus, the G-ddess Oshun or Gaia. She is who She is, and that's enough for me.

This is Oshun's prayer,

* Joy! Oh joy!
* I allow myself to "be"
* My creativity is energised
* I enjoy being in the "moment"
* I do what is easy, loving, fun and true
* I surrender to the ebbs and flows of life

"Baptized By Lightning!"

2007-04-17T23:37:00.000-04:00

Imagine be'n on fire, Burn'n, but not consumed. You're reborn from second to second, every atom, every cell. You wear a skin of flame. Your eyes are glow'n coals of jade! Your words are lightning, and your dreams ignite stars!

The act of creation is continuous though it seems to be broken up into different installments. This because of the limitations of language, and the written word. Walt Whitman illustrated this with "Leaves of Grass." He could have issued it over the years as a dozen different, and separate books or performances. Instead he shared his vision, dream, despair, joy, as a 40 year saga. A living ongoing poem. A continuing statement of 'his' life,..his creation.

So all the live'n bits, and pieces of 'our' makeings, the alphabet soup of our souls filtered through pen'n paper, keyboard'n screen, vocal cords'n mic, skin'n camera are one. One!, collective statement to G-d about Her mulitverse. If there 'is' no G-d it's still worthy, maybe better. For we shout into Eternity that we are here, we dream, we create, we matter.
