All Things are the Same Thing, Configured Differently

Every Thing is Art

Each Thing Tells a Story

Even Rocks have Souls

Is Bioplastic the Solution to Plastic Pollution?

Biodegradable plastic can avoid the label of ‘greenwashing’ only if it meets a sort of Nirvana level of criteria for rapid reintegration with the biosphere. The criteria include:
1. No ruination of existing wilderness or wildlife habitat and responsible use of agricultural land during sourcing.
2. Zero toxins used and zero toxic waste generated during manufacturing.
3. The proactive ability to completely breakdown into organic matter after disposal... including the ability to biodegrade aerobically (in open air) and anaerobically (without oxygen):
  • In freshwater
  • In ocean water
  • In soil
  • Via industrial composting
  • Via home composting

    D'amour près de la mer paisible un été (message en bouteille)

    Just the other morning I was dreaming of you when I saw a flower gleaming in the sun and wondered if I would ever see you again.

    The cold times have come, so here's a blossom in blue for you, to remember the summer times and tangled-up vines from so long ago.

    You sang me the song of the Golden Mean, the dazzling arrays of the stars, the back of the Turtle, and the cool jazz scene.

    Merci d'être né.
