Hazel

H for Hazel

I went out to the hazelwood
because a fire was in my head.
The Song of Wandering Aengus
- W.B. Yeats


Well I went out to Kuala Lumpur
because I was such a crackling dormouse for two days
a nibbling nut
I so forgot
to take a shot
of the tower.

The hazel might be said to be the quintessential Celtic tree because of its legendary position at the heart of the Otherworld

Expansive during the Mesolithic
effects of its brew are said to be psychotropic
It endows Druids with powers prophetic, 
and now before I wax poetic
what I really mean is
it is as a tree
that I love my namesake
best.

    The tree of wisdom, and I seem to think creativity.

They're just breasts

What is it about men and nudity? Particularly breasts... How can you be so interested in them? I mean seriously: they're just breasts. Every second person has them. They're odd looking, they're for milk from your mother. What's all the fuss about? In case you were wondering... that was Anna Scott (Julia Roberts) talking to William (Hugh Grant) the morning after they slept together. Notting Hill has been awhile. So have breasts. But not these features of the Woman and Child gallery at the Bangkok Arts and Culture Centre. They are fairly recent.

THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!

Tacloban . It's where I spent two months of great adventure with college buddies at about the same age as the young adult artists in this video  We Are The World for Philippines ( Cover by Filipino Artsts ) This is the church where I served as piano accompanist for the 1990 summer student choir, and some of the services. According to reports it was filled with dead bodies when this shot was taken. Photo Courtesy: AUP Network on FB On Saturday, November 24th, Central World management (the former WTC Bangkok) lent space for a Haiyan fundraiser without charge. I'd like to commemorate the highlights:   One Voice: Help Haiyan Victims was a serendipity. Organizing events is something I had to pay money to study in grad school. But it was live learning right there that night and observing the process was free. Skywatch : Mission Tacloban The Bangkok Charity Orchestra   reflected tranquility in their music.
