Sometimes you see a thing very much of the present moment, of that time/place & it reminds you of a similar thing from a time past.
I saw this party bus at the Golden Gate Bridge vista point & my mind immediately went to bus rides on the Green Tortoise in the 1980s.

a lemon absorbed a year of sun
now shares it’s sunny goodness
with eaters and viewers
an abalone shell layers and illuminates
all colors of the universe

Yep, it’s real. Mendocino coast. Nor Cal.

Thank you to Young Adults with Epilepsy

Inter - Ictal
[between seizures]
Sometimes my neurons misfire
… seizures, migraine…
Sometimes my neurons are hyperactive
… auras, migraine, mast cell activation…
Often my neurons miscommunicate
… poor proprioception, neuropathy, light sensitivity, dysautonomia…

I finally made it to Kehinde Wiley's "An Archeology of Silence" show in San Francisco. Wow, I can't possibly begin to describe the amazingness. It felt so sacred I couldn't bring myself to photograph any of the art... But when I saw the shadow of the giant bronze horse head I snapped this pic.
