Here’s some stuff I wrote ages ago when thinking about what poetry is >>
Art is the foot print of a soul step. No soul, no foot print – only shifting sands of glitter & flash light grains.
Art is only art when the drive to create is fueled by inner necessity
Poetics is the study of soul graphics. The journey of the scribble doesn’t stop at meaning.
Why must a reality measured in litres and metres be more real than one measured in sighs and tears?
Like a night club bouncer big words can select their own context of entry.
Thank you for visiting Journeys and Star Gazing. Here there's stories of my various journeys, some inner but mostly outer; photos, song lyrics, poems, astrological readings and interpretations, I Ching speculations, quotes from people I admire and some cool graphics. There are reflections and archival material on various human rights campaigns I have been involved in over the years. With these, some have a "Star Gazing" interpretive filter.
