What you want to be known for?

"You reach a point in your life when you start recognizing that your time is limited. And you realize that what matters is more than just your own achievements. Its the legacy. And the legacy in itself is the achievement and what you want to be known for."- Kathy Mazzarella, Graybar


You could reach this point when you lose a loved one.

Repeated Iceberg white tshirt

Saw a colleague
with a white tshirt
a repeating motif
very poem generating

I asked him about it
It must be the
tip of the iceberg shirt
with the iceberg in
different size
in each
representation

Fire wick

Fire wick image from LaraMakepiece is captivating.

Wicked Wind

It would be one thing if the wicks were all in
one direction
But they go left right and back
these multiple wicks
with their own mind

Its a picture from Waldskunt

Four Flat Fish

Revolving 'self-portrait' by Nadar

Photographs of the famous by Felix Nadar

Trying to draw
She pressed her ear against the shell
I started with the shell being held in right hand
pressing against the right ear
The head above was big and male
After extending the hand the
neck had to be elongated

the hand could be from the
side of the body turned
the face didnt have to face us

I reversed the front of the face
to the twisted back
Now shes reclaimed

Journey in Blue

How to Make a Man Fly

With Jelly Fish
pulsating into the air
recalling sea
Portobello mushrooms
Turbans
Orange slices
The man even though
standing
seems in motion

DuckColor

These cross hatched
ducks
make you do a double take
Are there two each way?

wow 😨😍👏 @eleaxart pic.twitter.com/ezgN2J5fsr

Drum City

I was reading 'Drum City' by Thea Guidone along with my preschooler and feeding the rice cereal to my infant. And I think I have hit upon a great ritual. It couldnt have started with a better book. All that rhyming. I like how every page on the book starts with DRUM which is like a big caesura but the rest on the lines that follow flow like waves. There's mystery too..
" people in banks,
people in shops,
everywhere, everything, everyone
STOPS"

and I wondered why...
On the next spread is the huge army of kids with their tubs and tins..
The illustrations are well done too. Catchy enough for preschoolers to call out what they see.

Second time around, I started singing it..

Junior Mint Single-Cup Hot Cocoa for Keurig K-Cup Brewers

I had this Junior Mint Single-Cup Hot Cocoa for Keurig K-Cup Brewers and found it to be appealing. when you say mint and chocolate, I think of the after eight chocolate squares which have gooey mint inside them. But this cocoa is nothing like that, neither too sweet, nor too minty. The consistency of the cocoa too is smooth, not like the ones you mix hot water with.

A dish falling down hour before the arrival of guests

In the above page, author EricWeiner talks about how mess ups show the process of an art. Can we extend that argument to how decay of a body shows how the body works, which will help us in decoding how to make the human body or stop it from aging. If we were perfect, then we wouldnt be able to reproduce ourself. But if we are not perfect, then the dissimilarity makes us irreproducible in total likeliness.

An Ode to Dictionary

When I have a tab open
for dictionary
I am happy

Natural

I think of the seed events
popping up and wonder
if there is a
National Seed Swap Day
which there is
Jan 30th

But it also precedes spring
which is kind of natural

The shape of a Heart

Heart Shaped Mold Silicone Molds - 3 Size Assorted Silicone Heart Pan for Baking Cake, Cupcake, Muffin, Pudding, Jelly, Ice Cubes, Bath Bomb, Lotion Bar, Soap BPA Free Nonstick Set of 3

A Costco plastic plate
with four cupcakes
placed in a square

in Valentine color
(donned by Rice Krispies
this time of the year)

Few sparkly paper hearts
red and pink
big and small

A heart cupcake
topper with a heart
and another smaller one
embossed where its
heart might be
if it were a human

And some heart
candy with letters
like LOVE

Symbols out of Phrases

Whatever the hand finds to do, the heart should go forth in wisdom #mysterybenevolence @FolkArtMuseum pic.twitter.com/GEDpO8xLa6

Serpentine park

Dallas Fair Park

On a Valentine's day
couples picniced
by the lake

With bridges piped onto
and under
the lake
would be traversable
too like the heart.
