um, Hi
July 3, 2022 The Sun and the Moon House, Beacon Hill, Seattle um, Hi Woke up, made coffee & breakfast, meditated. Sat on the porch w/ Al. It’s cold today — not really but overcast & windy. The few hot days spoiled us — I miss them already. “I like to appear busy online.” Who is watching us? Anyone could be, that’s the thrill. Offering, giving something up.

Today, I have rediscovered an art treasure I thought I had lost. And on my own doorstep. Foolishly, when I saw it in the Queer British Art exhibition in 2017, I didn't check where the painting was located. It is ironic, then, that despite several visits to the National Portrait Gallery in London over the past year, I had not seen the gallery where this sumptuous painting hangs in pride of place. Not until today, April 21, 2025.

Damned Souls
“Come, and see.” Herod tasted ash. It was a dream, surely. It had to be. And yet…the heat from the columns of fire burned his skin as though they truly raged besides him. He turned and twisted against the summons, willing himself to look anywhere but toward the gruesome dance before him.
