I was in Northeast Thailand walking around and wrote this poem.
Titled: On a road in Thailand
As I walked down a red clay road the uneven rocky earth path
has a culture of its own
the color of red pottery makes it seem the direction i take will mold me.
It does not matter if I travel the road or not some one else in need to get some where will.
The hot muggy weather can not melt the curious look on the villager's faces
The thick foliage of multi-color Greens constantly distract me from thinking about how far from home I really am.
I am walking in Northeast Thailand listening for city sounds that are not there
the only sounds to be heard are from motorbikes, cows, bugs and birds
also the clear sound of children laughter, laughing school girls in their uniforms with bobby style haircuts. Eyes as keen as that loud mouth Roaster that does not have any friends.
They're laughing again maybe at me? The boys won't look a quiet lead i should have took. coming here I saw poverty that ripped at my core, how can any one live so poor? Thoughts of Gee-bend Alabama women making quilts asking how can any one live so crazy,spiritual lazy? two questions a world apart aimed at the time on my watch.
I watched as I walk past bright colorful flowers in full-bloom four girls on one scooter pull up, smiling and proud of their balancing act "were good at it and it's a fact" their peeping into my face seeing how tired I am wondering where am I from and what place doesn't share luck or a break.
Then the laughter as if it was a soft Summer breeze carrying a sweet melody brushing off the heavy load I bear gently off my shoulders. A laughter that reminds me of something in my past i just can't place. i want to play catch, hide and go-seek, bounce a ball to flip a soda cap or even gentle pull a girls hair and have her chase me down the street calling me silly names their laughter makes me think of innocent fun and games.
I look into their smiling faces with a question can they skip, play jump-a-rope, double dutch or tag? games from my childhood past.
At last! it came to me as clear as the blue smog free sky a very long time ago our laughter sounded that way.
As the scooter rumbles on its journey safely balancing its cargo of large eyes, short haircuts and over size smiles I can hear bye see you tomorrow
between the laughter which is being muffled by the bark of a village dog.
I thought of all the stuff we could do with one piece of chalk. I wave so long see you tomorrow smiling now to.
The warmth of reality reminds me the Sun is smiling to their on a scooter I must walk. As I wish the clay road will mold me into a better human being at the end
I think again- a very long time ago on any given hot Summer day a group of children laughing together while at play, use to sound the same exact way. Tod Gaines

Poetry is a magic river. Sometimes it is dry and cracked and dead. Without notice except for splitting sky, it awakes and suddenly is boundless, flowing wetly and swiftly as if chased by unseens. A river of thoughts, clamoring for audience. Say it, say it. Write it for it is fleeting and will return to dust.

MODALITA' DI PARTECIPAZIONE

"Just Enjoy art with me..”


It is my only message to my all artist friend and art lover and all art visitor .
Some one ask to me why I am saying this message to all again and again..?
I want to say about it art mean is just for refreshment of mind , heart and body so why I am not tell to all this message “JUST ENJOY ART WITH ME..”
I have master in Fine Art and I have read lots of art text and art history by book and by art work visuals. and I find a one message from all art history and art visuals “Art Just for Enjoy ”but its very must if we know , what we are enjoy from our self.
I think on the word of ENJOY and I find some logic ,hereI want to share it .enjoy is a matter of inner sound of Human body, its start from a mind vision and by inner requirement of human body. I find the real mean of enjoy. It is self satisfaction from every where but when, then our Inner requirement is demanding of us.
The life live always practical and we can’t leave this life its fact. In that cash we face lots of trouble and pain of mind , body ,and in heart .its result is we face depression, sadness, mentally tired And practical life will not stop it for us. it will create it for us again and again.
So a one question is start where we go for feel free and feel light form inner side of mind and body its answer is one and only “ART ”
I think about art . art is a very big dust been it can accept your all inner zik- zek (puzzle)condition , sadness and unwanted pain of practical life.
‘ART ” the mean of wild space for full peace with full freedom. Art have the process of give and take. Art always giving the peace and freedom of heart and taking the pain of heart and pain of practical life.
“ART “ it is a journey of peace and its start from the artist, A Artist feel some Zik-Zak and some good feeling in inner side of mind and body then he create some , after visit that we are saying it is Art but actually that is activity of inner sound by some medium of earth for get freedom of inner sound by expression of artist . Artist feel Free After Express his inner motion activity by his self and after that Art is doing Start the journey in society with same process of give and take. In our human society every one are can’t express his inner sound by other medium of this earth because they are weak to mind and they don’t know how to express inner sound. They are full pack from practical life they have no time for express his /her inner sound so where they go for feel freedom and enjoy. The Art invite him and her with his /her inner pain and trouble of practical life. basically in our society we can see the art definition in visuals ,text and music. And a great art master BHART MUNI define it in a Theater and Dram in INDIA. That Theater have a new look by technology and to day we are saying it Cinema. It’s have all three art presentation in a one frame. It’s part of visual art. Some artist express his inner sound by line & color on space we are saying to that is painting(I am painter) and some one create form stone & metal with three dimension we are saying that is sculpture .its all art creation is part of visual art. Some people express his inner sound by text we are saying to him and her they are writer but A Indian philosopher Dr. Haridwari prasad Shastri have told the text is a also drawing of inner sound so we are express our inner sound with symbol by text(Drawing) and society communicate it by his /herself. Music its very freedom full medium of artist. It’s base on self sound of body with inner sound. it’s not want any medium of earth. Only music can touch your inner sound without any medium direct heart to heart.
Artist have leaved the creation of expression in society and his art invite to all the society just catch and observe the sound of art by his/her sensors in that cash they are forget his and her practical life and inner pain that’s all. It’s the real target of Art in our society. A common man when visit and listen any form of art that time his mind just think only his visit and listening topic in that moment art have done start the work of take the pain of visitor and listener, after visited the cinema , painting exhibition he feel very light because he forget his past condition before the art visit ,he had forget all and enjoy the art visuals , cinema and some music track….in his practical life time. its very tuff but art can do it in all condition. It’s art power because its very pure sound of human inner sound.
So tell me why I am not say this line to my all art lovers , visitors and to common art visitors ..JUST ENJOY ART WITH ME….! ha..
