.< 5.50a.m. in the pre-dawn hush. but never too tired to signal a thank-you. "altar-wise by owl-light", random title borrowed for a few moments from dylan thomas poem.  promised to return it after a couple of paragraphs. good thing about retirement is you don't need to tire.  sort of like energy credits.
the thanks are for latest blog post. just having read my words with a sense of wonder.  well, it would make you wonder.  the images look  wonder-ful too.  and recall drawing the alluring space-sister; "planet visitor", she's late. oh well, it is 2012, i'll hang about.....

wonder what moo wanted to ask.  was it lakota pronunciation?  it is written phonetically. there's a nasal quality. a good example is listening to lakota spoken by the 'lead actress' in "dances with wolves".  she obviously had to practice as she's not indian. her name is something like, "mary o'connell" i believe.
it seems to be teton dialect they are speaking. the one that uses 'L's'.  nasal, in that 'en', 'an', 'in', 'on', 'un', are pronounced as in french.  a beautiful sound, to my ears.   (i like the way the lines are spaced "the last post"*[sic].  .  ... . -- (musical notes).  i mean, single sentence lines. like poetry.
i'm still up coz wuz watching a string of interesting art videos.  chris showed me a big david hockney book she got at the exhibit.  was never impressed before till now i see what he's been up to.  so i went to youtube and got really immersed and in my comfortable chair by the fire.  nice to be surprised. quite far-out what he's up to, and so prolific!  bit of a detective too.  demonstrates his discovery of how painters far back as jan van eyck, and many others around 15 to 1600's used 'camera obscura' to project subjects from life on to canvas and traced around the image.  originally using only a concave mirror, and later just a lens, (no camera) and then later reversed it with a mirror.  seems in previous works, everybody is left-handed, even the dog.  hilarious.  fascinating. his recent nature, (backroads painting) i found quite inspiring.  and the stuff he's doing with film projection.  very refreshing and beautiful.  worth a look.  ... then i moved on to videos on william blake, and then the romantics, and wordsworth etc. and now the fire's going to sleep.  think it's telling me something.
as i type that, a lone first crow agreed.   ... searching my boxes of art archives, my paper trail, looking for the missing lines i don't recall, from a song i wrote called "fading amber", as i kept falling in to the chord sequence, sort of nice, i retrieved other goodies instead:
the two drawings i did on the spot of my daughters when we first reunioned in bantry after... 17 years?  look forward to showing them.  and a few remaining colour photocopies of illustrations + story, "gypsy jack" done in  1978? ..took it around london publishers later...rejected, carried in a plastic bag for 26 years till it was stolen by a swedish guy in bantry who promised to publish it in gaelic.  no doubt published in sweden.
and assorted other stuff i found.  but not the song.
have distinct sense creatively... sumptn goin on.  spring?... correction?... amplification?  a flow anyway. good. like, i'm more what i already am than whatever i am thought it was.  happy too, to find others who understand playful language. most people , well, normal people, think it's something mundane,

consistent, and serious, like ...money.  a fixed currency.  i gather a new world- currency is already in place. major announcements soon forthcoming. 200 arrests already. 450 baddies jumping ship.  k. cassidy still sceptical.
think i go align north-south at rightangles to central gravitics.  there's the crow again. and sparrow no. 1.
have a happy hearth and mirth on earth and so forth~m
