Liners

When will we, all of us, feel how deep, serious, charming life is?

You must have compelling reasons for being the way you are.

You can't change the world if the car isn't working.

What are you dressed up as?

Don't need a watercolor as much as a collage, for lack of a better word. It is like a qix. A psa. What happens in Miller and in Patchen is you see some wonderful lines and lies. Great stuff and always want to react to it.

lines. we "worship a heap of shallow, automated comforts and a dollar-geared, tenuous, sterile status quo-that was the real Ghetto, a spiritual one." Steiner of Miller and his work on U.S.

we are the ones who gave you blue

Get a copy of Icon to Josie. Maybe today.

Don't move, don't travel, don't take a vacation. Do your own home town.

Nourish your place with your poetry and prose.

Job one ....art. Job 2 thru 17.

old man. He has no need of other men, he knows them already and has seen enough of them. What he needs is peace.

About Pacific Palisades. "Here it'a polished morgue."

To me everything partakes of mystery.

Why is it we have no aptitude for the experiences we call human?

Verona and Cordova Throwbacks. I recall now Mr. Fryer called me that and himself too. Just wandering around talking to people and looking at the world go round. That is what the parking lot series is about.

I'm silly with pain. What ho.

Take a great contemporary African novel, research it and put it on. Use contemporary visuals and say how it fits in the world I live in. If it does. Or just tell the story like Joey does. (Tell me a story. Joey, a series of adult story tell ing with me listening and running the camera. 1-16. She is that good)

Take the sound track and color it in. With images. She is a storyteller.

Munakata as a colorist and

Patchen is so quotable. The function of the artist is to express love.

That Lady of the Lot loves living.

P "In Quest of Candlelighters." 124 What most people fail to understand is not the artist's work, but his essential unwordliness in wanting to give love. And that applies a lot to the work of Mary. Wanting to give love. That is MAry. 1-16.

Mazevoun t'astra. Gathering up... them stars. The stars are gathering to have a party. To celebrate a piece of cellophane. The song superman and Benton Frazier who are joined by Mary. Elemental music, drama, love. Loftier prayer. Halleluya.

The only art form that's worth a damn is when a man tries to offer up something out of himself, out of his own head, his own emotions, his own dreams, his own heart, his own guts- That is something she does.

How nice to see ya. What I like about Mr. Shattuck is his forthrightedness. He just does his life with all the crooks, salamanders and grumblers and lets it go by. He lives according to some principle. I like that, as he reminds me of an old type, an ancient. He does life straight and goes to bed. To sleep and get up the next day and do life the same way again. I imagine he read Marcus Aurelius.

I did a little vid on how I feel. An old-fashioned gentleman.

Art should not amuse. All great things work for the good of everyone.125

This is a line that goes with the railroads of Hopper and Burchfield. It seems we can do that. Select pieces of the past and put them together as a reminder. Patchen on 127 And-O baby listen yonder sweet little train! You take a bunch of trains and say who did them at the bottom and say o'baby. Oh, my babe. O baby, listen yonder sweet little train!

126 Pray I gentle be

The people who say," I'd do anything for a dollar."

Most people don't miss a meal.

It will always matter to someone.

In the collection of essays there is the lines on the coloration of a painting and the saying. Can't find it. Maybe have it in yesterday's notes but on page44 of above. Lemon cow. THis was the paragraph on lemon cow. I recall it now.

Did you notice that pretty / cow colored like a lemon walking by a minute ago?

Cows undertake shocking marriages.

The cow will do something beautiful before she's through.

Cows stars rivers giants-

gods have peaceful minds because they eat their oatmeal.

it's lonely being a man.

77 interview. Shakespeare. the prime example of capable of being the most secret and creative and personal being-at the same time he had the capacity to understand and to feel what other people were, what they were thinking, what they were experiencing. This to me is a miraculous thing.

The most important thing. I would offer no one advice. I have consistently refused to comment on the work sent me

Good work rings with a sense of mystery.

Who do you think you are?

About Klee who goes to the canvas with Here I am. Well here I am72 in essays I know nothing about painting, let's learn something, let's feel something. What he does is start fresh and sees where it will lead. That his approach is experimental and experiencial.

66 who his audience is....I hope it includes the spirits of some of the men now dead who have worked in poetry and in the other arts and I don't feel that they're dead at all.

men who were read by no one, known by no one in their time

Leave people alone. Do your work. Me.

When you get into the thing of trying to sell books or paintings or prints....you're off in left field somewhere.
