General

        ''Just be yourself,
    but with a Geisha twist.''
~Shizuka maiko Kitsuneko





    ''Well, I don't know
What THAT'S all about...
    I just came up here 
     for a quick smoke 
       and a cocktail!''




      I like to come up stairs 
      and quietly read a book
     while shafts of glistening 
sunlight dance across the pages.

~Hannah Höch~

    ''Dada was probably above all else
a kind of eulogy for a form of government 
       and life whose time and past and 
 world view [sic] had gone up in flames.'' 
                   ~Hannah Höch
*Höch, however, never wallowed in nostalgia. Instead, she forged ahead, creating a new aesthetic.

''Sunday serenade
Avid Avian chorus
Nature's symphony''

   ''Countless unwritten songs
since the flutter of beating hearts,
  have underscored every hour 
      of every measured day.
       Have we heard them?
      Can we recall the notes,
        replay the choruses?  Clearly, they must be relished 
in the moment. For like a flurry 
    of cascading snowflakes
 no two melodies are ever alike
      nor shall be repeated 
    in just the same cadence.''

                                 ~The Door Is Ajar~ 
Enter Daringly, Expectantly...Recline, Opine, Let Your Soul Shine!


At the top of a winding staircase there is a mysterious doorway. 
       It is there that a compelling glimpse of light beckons us 
                to cross the threshold into realms undreamt.



       The Snuggery within challenges us to ask questions,
seek answers, find hints and clues in the visage of strangers.


Myspace Layouts

           We are roused to investigate foretold truths,
               and reinterpret long-held impressions. 
What will each of us see when we face the looking glass?




                    What revelations await us there?
    We urge you to visit, and we encourage you to share
                      with us in the comment column... ...your artwork, your writing, your music, your queries.
  Lend your perspective and reveal your illuminations!
Myspace Layouts

        This is the painted rocker nestled amongst your clothes
            in a childhood closet, the ''chamber of possibilities'', 
a refuge for the imagination where dwindled spirits are fortified.






                       It is your Sky Parlour.
It provides a filtered light through which more is seen
                           than meets the eye.

Enter with assurance...
The Mystery is ours to unravel!

Sometimes, getting upstairs to the attic
      can be a supreme challenge!

Persevere...
Do not be deterred!

When in the looking glass I glimpsed,
I saw with faint surprise...
Two tiny glistening sunflowers
Dancing in my eyes!
My pupils are seeded centers,
My Hazel flecks like slivered metals
Recall to me with subtlety
Exquisite floral petals!

Florescent visions ignite
  Doors of Perception''

Hi!  Happy New Year my friend!  I rang in the New Year in style - with the doors locked, a bottle of wine, dancing around in my pj's, and watching my favorite movie on TV.  I hope you had fun too!
