Neural connections

[At the reservoir; 3pm, 12/26/07; click to view larger]

It reminds me of... reaching for the stars, the sky's the limit, hopeful stretches of "this year I will" in the coming New Year... of neural connections, dendrites sparking like pinballs... of vanishing memory as brain cells tangle and wither, the deceased vanishing into the infinite gone, beyond reach... of God's intent finger extended towards man's languid hand... of an arboreal A-OK, finger-snapping, clacking ice-coated branches in glacial chill like chattering teeth... of all that is stripped-away but strong, dormant but potent, sleeping dogs and volcanoes waiting for stirring, the sun removed and remote yet keeping a toehold.

Gorgeous photos; interesting thoughts to see in the New Year, a new start indeed! This has the makings of a poem...

Wow, you sound a bit like Kerouac in this post. You just need someone in a black turtleneck beating a bongo while you recite it... ;-)

Marja-Leena: Thanks! Alas, only time for "the makings of" these days.

Lorianne: Heh. I don't know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing!
