restless...........
To put meaning in one's life,
may end in madness,
But life without meaning
is torture
Of restlessness and vague desire
It is a boat longing for the sea
and yet,
afraid.

intrigued by Masters. So many poets writers and artists have colorful and insane lives... fun collage, especialy like the fiery view out the window.
tom: Hey, Thanks.......I keep thinking all the creative people tend to simply live outside the box of most others is all.
great connection between Masters, your collage and the words-- the connection between life, art and madness-- creativity has to be outside the box.
Looking forward to sharing a cuppa...
Happy Easter Coffee Messiah!
Best Wishes to you, your family and your readers.
Have A Fab Easter Coffee. Yes, Some Live Outside The Box, No Problem! Tis Only When Someone Loses Sight Of The Box Itself That It Get Tricky!
I like the Pasternak, it si beautiful. I've never heard of him. I've heard of Boris Pasternak. Are they related? Now I'm going to have to look it all up.
The pursuit of purpose and meaning truly can be one sharp double-edged sword, can't it?
I've got a little surprise for you man ... drop by.
i can't decide if he is yawning or yelling
and is that Aslan?
this made me smile
Hope you had a gtreat Easter my friend! Weather here in the Northeast was lovely. Hope SF was nice too.
Hi! C.M., and Sam Juliano,
What a very interesting quote by Edgar Lee Masters and thanks, for the link and the painting
Leonid Pasternak's - By The Window -Autumn, 1913 is very nice too!
[I must admit that I had to do a Google search and discovered that he was a Post-Impressionist artist.]
Thanks, for sharing!
C.M.,just like Sam Juliano said, I hope that you and your readers, had a pleasant and safe holiday.
DeeDee ;-D
