urban spaceman

painting by jane b

To exist is to change

to change is to mature

to mature is to go on

creating oneself endlessly.

Henri Berqson

French Philosopher
1859 - 1941

C.M., I can't believe I got rid of this album! Oh the sacrifices I've had to make. I especially like the last verse. And that painting...that I like :)

great ! (love the bllloiiiing at the very end of the song.)

And the painting. And the quote.

(Think I'll play the song again - but full blast so my neighbors can enjoy it too. Here goes:" I'm the urban spaceman la-da-da-dee-la- dee-da...)

have a good one, cm. :-)

'here comes the twist...i don't exist' ...?
how surreal

Existence is change from moment to moment. I'll have to think about the relation to Kurt's Rilke quote.

Your friend is a wonderful artist. I like this as well as the mail boxes. I'm trying not to dwell too much on the Buddha in the trailer and what does it mean?

In the painting, I mean. Couldn't listen to the song. TV, again :-(

ArtSparker said...

Wonderful painting. it's delightful.

A long shot, but I'm going to check to see if this is my friend Terry's friend Jane...

Well, ok. I went and got the headphones. Zany. Nice. And I hear that if I'm to live like the urban spaceman, I don't exist, a condition I sometimes wonder about anyhow.
What I liked more than that, though, even though I can only see about 2/3 of the video, is Rupa and the April Fishes. Talk about a toe-tapper! Yow!
Also, is that painting in your sidebar with woodland landscape painted over furniture by Jane B. as well? Either way, I like that one.
