A point of view:
Sometimes our thoughts are compiled
into a point of view.
You know the thoughts about what
we think of the world as it stands today.
But there is another point of view.
A simple point of view, a view
we sometimes forget about because it is always there, always available.
It is the point of view that we
see when we first wake up.
Or the point of view we see when
we look out at the world to see what is before us.
It may be a garden out back, a
working crew viewed through an open window,
a sandy beach with a red horizon,
and a blacktop road at fifty miles per hour.
It is a deliberate choice that
we make to put us in our proper perspective with our environment.
I can vision my body going out
into a meadow and closing my eyes.
Standing still and then opening
my eyes for the first time.
Absorbing the texture and colors
in my point of view.
The thoughts moving threw my mind
are the colors, textures and smells of my surroundings.
A point of view.

It is morning and the quiet still
of morning is green and colorful.
I reread the above sentences trying
to understand why I would write such words.
Maybe it is because I can and I
understand the way to type words on to a colorful background.
This is a glorified piece of paper
that I can upload into a storage area with an address.
A post it note on this/our computer
screen.

Art/Form
Creating objects to see/feel/hear/sense/understand.
Drawing a line to the center of your horizon and then down to the pot of
gold. Turning a piece of chalk sideways and sweeping a rainbow across the
sky. Using a computer to link thousands of people together and show them
colors and thought.
*
Speaking
Opening ones mouth, pushing sound
out into the atmosphere. Communicating with people, animals and large antennaed
boxes (across the room) with practiced sounds, created languages.
The internet
A web of telephones lines created
by the military for speech and given to the public. Control of the internet
is being fought for by the people that like to make money, whether they
will come out on top remains to be seen.
Combine Speech and the Internet
You have a forum to speak your
mind, though it is not entirely free, it does let you speak your mind to
the point of being heard by any group of people. Indeed a very vocal way
of speaking your piece.
A very inexpensive way of talking
to millions. Being part of the democracy/or some part of some community.

Did the cave man talk to rocks,
throw a tomato at his wall, then stop and stare at his creation, waving
his hands in the air in frustration over what the lady of the dell had
said just that afternoon. Have you ever walked along your path speaking
to yourself, waving your hands in gestures of composition. Watchers of
the great games speak and yell at black boxes plugged into the walls of
their fortune.
I place little marks that we understand
on this computer screen, and guess what?
You read/understand some of what
is placed in this area.
Turn a piece of chalk sideways
and sweep a rainbow across the sky.

Time
As we walk, we leave behind the
past and step into the future. Some of us would rather step back in time
and live a simple existence. Some like myself, step into this electronic
media. I jump into this pot of human behavior.
The Internet has provided for me
a place to speak. A place where I pay for the space to set my thoughts
and remembrance's of family and friends. Unique, how time travels online
to you. I can set an emotion of love or hate. You as the reader can say
bullshit and walk away or you can walk up the incline of our rainbow and
see the earth with a different perspective. Amazing what our little brains
can do, spinning yarns into quilts of friendships. It rains in colorful
patterns here.
Here I can create woven patterns
of thought, never needing anyone to define my attitude or presentation.
This can be crap on one page and
pure genius on another.
These are the steps we are undertaking
into human behavior and electronic arts. Good or bad.

Advice on web sites
Do you want to put your thoughts
online, tell a tale, give advice, trash the world, give birth to more Morningstars,
entertain? There are places on the web that offer space for free if you
use them as your Internet connection. You will need at least 10 megs to
feel comfortable, five megs will do.
If your going to sell something
you will have to pay for your site. The best advice is to look locally
at your Internet provider. Go to different places and see what happens
at each site, but check your local provider first and see what they offer.
If you can type you can build a web page. With a few phone calls you can
be online.
You can color the world with Golden
Poppies and Morning Glories.
