I write and live, to give testimony to a silent jury; always hung, forever and never deliberating in their crimson marble chambers, with their white hair, their crooked ties, their half-cocked redundancies, their sworn blood-soaked oaths.
A great description of the world we live in and also the ways to live in it. Be blessed within your world. Excellent word choices, as I see as I read, the things you describe. 👍 Love to you and your wife...
Just lost a bit of nice prose I was sending to you as I looked up eviscerate…. as in you eviscerated my mind.
Omg. The description of those two sisters. There are too many never heard or read lines to start with one. My stomach is reeling. I’ve just come out of 11 hours in my neighborhood cafe which has the WIFI my flat here on Butte aux Cailles in Paris 13th is missing, writing a letter of intent as to why a committee should choose me to sculpt the iconic sea and margaritaville musician, Jimmy Buffett for Mobile. From that joy of life to these women scavenging for more ooze to cover the ooze. Ahhhjjjjiii! Stomach flipped again. For a light moment I’ll try to get my Italian Restaurant Easter guys to say hello.
Ok no idea how to get a short video for you on here. Ok Judson, Forward! Night. em
Thank you Borne. So Appreciated. Watch out Mobile...access is where please?
My artistic connection on entry ...fun..Jimmy Buffett and I, Elizabeth MacQueen, share a profound kinship as artists and Southerners. Both born of the Gulf Coast spirit—mine in Old Destin on the harbor’s bluff—we’ve navigated parallel paths in our respective crafts. As pilots and lifelong sailors, our mutual love for the sea and sky has deeply influenced our work.
Our lives intersected in remarkable ways: we are contemporaries; both featured in Billboard magazine—myself with the 60s band The Association for their hit “Never My Love”; and both captivated by marine life. My time on the Greek island of Kea, studying octopuses, inspired a 25’ x 18’ glass mosaic.
We are hurricane survivors and were involved in the early LA music scene—particularly The Eagles and JD Souther. Both of us have adopted children and experienced brushes with customs officials—Buffett in one country, and myself in Toronto. We’ve also had encounters with the Mexico marijuana scene in the 60s—Buffett with his stories, and me as a UCLA-UofA transfer student-who declined the "opportunity" despite financial hardship.
We’ve both spent a night in jail. Mine was in Fairhope—mistaken identity. A voice from the shadows guided me through the one allowed phone call: “Don’t mess it up. They don’t give you another chance.” In the morning, released without apology, I sought out the unseen voice and asked what I could do for him. “Cigarettes, please.” I returned with multiple packs and asked his name and why he was incarcerated. He said simply, “I’m Lulu’s boyfriend. Do you know Lulu?” I laughed. “Of course! Who doesn’t?” His answer was sufficient for me.
