What? Is this a joke?
Stop laughing at me right now!
I'm Frickin' SERIOUS!

---

Never forget ~ a
roomful of smiling children
transcends color and class

---

before corruption
before the teaching of hate
love is all they know

---

Chinese children smile
American finance crashes
Factories closing

-

Globalization
does not make the children smile
anywhere in the world

---

Humor like beauty
is very much in the eye
of the beholder

-

"Look Li, the children
haven't laughed like this since the
old clown caught on fire..."

---

simple happy joy
how the hard world changes you
to become like us

shards of bottle glass
and the roots of great mountains
worn smooth by the tide

-

worn leather boots and
my grandfathers' old knapsack
trudge along the coast

-

Mendocino was
a special place my spirit
will never forget

-

if god is in the
details, I suspect he is
developing stones

---

she crawls the beaches
of Mendocino for stones.

Ocean rock and roll
forming lingams on the shore
worship or ignore

For Free Elixir:
Seven Stones in round Black Hole
Add Ocean and Stir

temporary forms
shifting in tidal structures
give new arrangement

Spirals macro and
micro, a trick off an old
muslim's mosque window.

---

Hand-formed metal
the Tree of Life leads us to
fractal paradise

-

Intention joins craft
on the path to one man's not
so secret garden

---

Twisted metal forms
Intricate lacework of leaves
Leading us within

---

love's labors not lost
vision patience skill combine
beauty its reward

who has wrought this art
no simple smith at his forge
mind & spirit speak

this threshold beckons
discoveries within its frame
beyond, more await the eye

---

metal lacing crafted
framed, flowing, inviting
a soulful boundry

---

the gate unopened
my dark twin the gatekeeper
I cannot confront
