Big Fat TV
"Big Fat TV" collage by douglas brent smith.
when you are
in a hurry
and still want to get
there in good spirit
be sure to
dance &
smell the flowers &
pack lightly
because
you've got so much more
to pick up
put away
light up
serenade
grow
and know
you're individual
flow.
NOTES:
This is one of a series of collages I made using a good old fashioned copy machine, combined with some cut-out doodles and random pictures -- these apparently featuring transportation (and dance!) I added the poem after posting the collage. Now they belong together!

Stay Young
It might feel like our youth abandons us, but it's always available within us.
Ask questions. Try new things. Meet new people and make new friends. That field of work is also a field of play.
Stay young.

A Walk In The Country
A Walk In The Country - a collage by douglas brent smith, 1992.
Walks in the country often produce surprises. You never know what you'll find.
A New Perspective
Notes:
How do you feel about x-ray vision? I remember vividly (in 3D?) seeing for the first time the movie "X - The Man With X-Ray Eyes" starring Ray Milland. I enjoy that movie so much. Poor Ray, suffers so much for his gift, and craves much more than he can ever see. It's a classic story of the perils of experimenting on yourself.
But, isn't that all any of us are doing? Experimenting with ourselves? We don't know how this turns out for certain. I have faith in certain destinies, but seriously who really knows? Improving one's vision along the way seems like a great advantage.
I've been blessed with correctable eyes, and they have needed lots of correcting over the years. I do not take vision for granted and I do thank God for my vision every day. And, while I do need to use three kinds of eye drops every day, none of them give me X-Ray vision, and that's a good thing. Look at poor Ray Milland...
