authentic and strong

























authentic and strong
------------------------------------
you do not kiss anybody's ass
or pretend you are anything
that you're not
fiercely independent you
have your rules
not guidelines
not negotiables
rules
and you don't doll up
to please man or woman
or play with hearts
for the sake of playing
you don't care who cares
if you care that's enough
you don't try to be sexy
instead you are strong
certain, focused, driven,
persistent and loyal
and wow,
that is powerfully awesomely
sexy.

Reactions to the Face On Mars

Reactions to the Face On Mars -- collage by douglas brent smith.      It seemed like a revelation, a sign. Pictures taken of the surface of mars seemed to show a face. Could this mean that there was an intelligent civilization there once upon a time? Many years later, when our cameras produced much higher resolution images we saw that it wasn't really a face at all. It's just something that people do -- we see faces everywhere. We anthropomorphize wildly.  Well, the illusion was fun while it lasted. And it lasted long enough to be on my mind when I made this collage in 1993.
