Spirit dwells



"Bashō says the body is composed of one hundred bones and nine
openings.
Within which flimsy structure the spirit dwells. ..."

From "Midsummer" by Nicholas Christopher

curious to know where that building stands. The colors and detailing remind me of things I see every day over here ( but the bottom layer of brick? pure americana)

Nicholas Christopher: thanks for the new find, Lori. Anybody who's into Catullus, Yannis Ritsos, Seferis and film noir sounds like he's worth investigating further.

The clouds reflected in the panes, the angle of view, the symmetry of lines, and the instinct to crop as the image now stands--they all become prism for the theme of the collection. Which is to say, Another winner here.
