Hollywood & Western & Philosophy

While leaving my sick friend Reecy's place after sharing some soup, attention & affection I left for home on the Red line... She sent me off in her super hero sweatshirt "Girl of Redundancy Girl".

I had left home that morning thinking the previous days temperature would mimic today's (WRONG)... With all the ways of finding out simple things like temperature and the ability to blog from your cellphone the fact I GUESSED weather is really asinine!

So I left home in shorts, a t-shirt & sandals.

As I descended into the underworld of LA, it struck me how interesting the subway is visually... Hollywood does not resemble a city, like NY or Chicago, so as you are transported lower and lower under the city, you feel as if you are entering a whole other world... ESPECIALLY @ nite.


So I paused, missed a train or 2, wandering and exploring this other world...








the clean lines, the dirty people, the colorful yellows and the dingy muted pastels, blacks, white and grays...


We live in
one big art
installation...
and we are
both observers
and fodder for
this collage...
If we drill down
and take the
time to scan
through the
overlapping layers
we find "
ourselves"...
and if we are
aware, we are
looking back.





Yesterday
is Gone.
Tomorrow
Never Comes.
Today is what
we have.
Struggle.
Persevere.
And Progress
.

Thanks again for the soup and cuddles, Sam! Glad Girl of Redundancy Girl got you (eventually) to where you were going, safe and sound and safe. (And sound.)
