I’m cleaning up after a storm when I come across a photograph which had been floating, I don’t know,<\/p>\n
supertide in supertide out, six hours I guess.<\/p>\n
It depicts my wife and a dear female friend of\u00a0 hers,<\/p>\n
four by six, full frontal head shot. It’s hanging by a<\/p>\n
clothespin as I write. But as I washed it, I use a three<\/p>\n
inch foam brush, I studied it.<\/p>\n
I admire this friend of my wife, I think she’s a bit<\/p>\n
quirky, is that another word for independent?<\/p>\n
Then, as you know, your thought expands and I was<\/p>\n
thinking I admire all\u00a0of her\u00a0female friends, of course<\/p>\n
one can separate male admiration into many components.<\/p>\n
Women are like diamonds, are they not,<\/p>\n
in that they are many faceted.<\/p>\n
All this from picking up a slime coated photograph.<\/p>\n
It reminds me of a quote from Goethe.<\/p>\n
“What is genius, but the faculty of seizing and turning<\/p>\n
to account anything that strikes us— every one of my<\/p>\n
writings has been furnished to me by a thousand different<\/p>\n
persons, a thousand different things”.<\/p>\n
Goethe.<\/p>\n
Anyway, don’t get me wrong, I’m no fucking genius.<\/p>\n
