Don't let love fool you; It's not my first love.
Truth rocks my world, from below and above. ~XineAnn

Thinking is more interesting than knowing, but less interesting than looking. ~Goethe

For experience is the Soul's one and only nourishment ~James Hillman

Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point. ~Blaise Pascal

He who has lost his soul will be finding God anywhere, up above and down below, in here and out there, he will cling to every straw of love blown past his doorway as he stands waiting for a sign. ~James Hillman

    This is the interface I like about Opera. And it's available anywhere. It's a full-fledged search engine, not as large as google, but so customizable. It's my new home page.

I learned about the flags at Etcetera. I like them. Even anarchists have flags.

Moving this up so I can work on it easily. It won't stay sticky forever. It is full of opinions and commentary on life, the universe, and everything. If that's a bother, you'll want to skip it. It's really meant to help newbies, in a conversational sort of way.

Cloud of the Month for May


About this Cloud: Cumulonimbus

It is the beast of the lower atmosphere: roaring with deafening thunder; spitting shards of lightning and hailstones; whipping up twisting tornadoes and spawning dramatic cloud features, such as the udder-shaped mammatus clouds, cigar-shaped roll clouds and, well, wall-shaped wall clouds. Sometimes, the Cumulonimbus also produces something called a `microburst', which is best thought of as a cloud sneeze. Don't be deceived by the `micro' part: the sneeze of a Cumulonimbus is anything but restrained.

A microburst is a very localized column of air - up to 2.5 miles (4km) across - which shoots earthwards from the base of the cloud, spreading outwards with violent force upon reaching the ground. With gusting speeds of up to 150 mph, these winds can damage buildings, fell trees, and have been known to cause aviation crashes.

Much like human sneezes, microbursts can be either dry or wet. They do however last rather longer than ours: between 5 and 15 minutes. Along with chilly winds, the wet varieties produce sudden downpours. These can be quite heavy: enough to give you a cold, should you be in the firing line without the right clothing.

Leap the Elk by John Bauer

Are you changing your mind already? It's too late to turn round. But don't be afraid. Wonderful berries grow in the marsh where I live. You can eat them.

After the fire and after the embers,
After the smoke
and choking on words
After the fire, it's quiet
and it could still burn black
if not held back
A hot silence that travels
in a slither on the ground
words burning through
beams crashing down

After the fire,
love still remembers
words like hot ashes
that hang like burnt fruit
and truth,
truth like a stillness
and not what it seems
Love with its promises
if you'll just be its slave
Love like a wave
if only you claim it
Truth for a mirror
but insists that you name it

After the fire,
so little left to say
words stir the embers
burning even as they're true
After the fire,
it's all you ever knew
You ask again
words fall into silence
and the silence burns
right through

After the fire still glow the embers
After the fire, it's love that remembers
After the fire, it's love that burns true

      The Five Minutes We Were in Love





        Every woman should be in love with you
        even for five minutes
        because you know what love is
        Every woman should be in love with you
        when she finds out
        that she is a little girl forever
        when she finds out
        that she is a woman
        and she doesn't have to hold back
        not even a little
        Every woman should be in love with you
        to find out how to say
        I love you
        to find out that love
        is not cat and mouse
        or finding the perfect words
        to say to make the perfect spell
        Every woman should be in love with you
        even for five minutes
        to find out what a man is
        when he loves all the way

Come, my mad Crazy Jane

Come, my mad Crazy Jane
and let me brush your long dark hair
you with the dying dog in your arms
but hold him, hold him til the end
and then a little longer
because life is what we have
and life after life is a promise
and life after death is a threat

Come, my mad Crazy Jane
and tell me of your silent love
as you wait with an empty bowl
and the dog at your feet
and you don't know if the dog
is living or dying
and you don't know
if you are living or dying

Come, my mad Crazy Jane
and don't let your irreverent lover
kick your dog as he chants,
"Dog is God spelled backwards"
laughing at his own backwards wit
(the misanthropic attitude,
the existential platitude)
You laugh because anything
would be funny
and everything he says
is sacred when
you are waiting for a Word

Come, my mad Crazy Jane
priestess of animal love
let me brush your long dark hair
as you sob your goodbyes
to the warm love of the animal
and the cold love of the buffoon
Holy was your love
of the love made flesh
Holy are your tears for love
Holy is your long dark hair

~XineAnn














    Woman Under Glass

    In the mirror,
    I am a woman under glass
    like week-old flowers when
    we don't change the water
    when we leave the roses
    roadside
    as lifeless as the idea
    of love
    as the idea
    I loved
    the water is dank
    and love smells bad

    In the mirror,
    I am a woman under glass
    falling petals
    love gone to seed
    nothing grows in bad water
    love gone to need
    so faithful is my brother
    so loyal are my friends
    holy were the words I had
    but the water is dank
    and love just smells bad

    ~XineAnn










    Still Life in White

    If words are the key
    and the door is locked
    and you've lost your voice
    and never knew the words
    and love was the cart
    but you never saw the horse

    Then stop talking altogether
    break it down with force,
    never mind the mime uncouth,
    shock the world,
    stand in the light,
    show me naked truth
    show me white on white.

    ~XineAnn

    Looking for My Soul's White Dress

    looking for my soul's white dress
    in research
    and writing
    and reading great works

    looking for my soul's white dress
    in causes
    and crosses
    and loving til it hurts

    looking for my soul's white dress
    I end up where to start
    leaving pieces of my wardrobe
    at every broken heart

    dressing up my shards of soul
    in every way I can
    and you just stand there naked
    and remind me who I am
    looking for my soul's white dress

    ~XineAnn




    Once, and now

    Where have you been that you come so late,
    while clothes have missed the clothes
    and now remember to the body
    that it can recognize just itself?
    Once, in a disreputable slum
    I threw a knife against you,
    but it was another, it was not you,
    albeit by looking you also come
    as reading to the one who reads
    as blindness to who turns blind.
