This great cat needs a home. Can you adopt her? (New Jersey area). Please consider it.
She also needs sponsors to keep her in foster care until she find a home.
Any amount helps. Contact whoneedsit.stumbleupon.com

Excerpt from Instructions to Painters & Poets

I asked a hundred painters and a hundred poets
how to paint sunlight
on the face of life
Their answers were ambiguous and ingenuous
as if they were all guarding trade secrets
Whereas it seems to me
all you have to do
is conceive of the whole world
and all humanity
as a kind of art work
a site-specific art work
an art project of the god of light
the whole earth and all that's in it
to be painted with light

And the first thing you have to do
is paint out postmodern painting
And the next thing is to paint yourself
in your true colors
in primary colors
as you seem them
(without whitewash)
paint yourself as you see yourself
without make-up
without masks
Then paint your favorite people and animals
with your brush loaded with light
And be sure you get the perspective right
and don't fake it
because one false line leads to another

***

And don't forget to paint
all those who lived their lives
as bearers of light
Paint their eyes
and the eyes of every animal
and the eyes of beautiful women
known best for the perfection of their breasts
and the eyes of men and women
known only for the light of their minds
Paint the light of their eyes
the light of sunlit laughter
the song of eyes
the song of birds in flight

And remember that the light is within
if it is anywhere
and you must paint from the inside

Update 4 July 2008: Raine's account has been scheduled for deletion, but before it was, this was posted. (I think Cousin Chloe deleted the account by mistake.)

~XineAnn

I'm sorry to tell you that Raine has been in the hospital...her heart again..She ended up having major surgery for the heart rhythm problem which was shifting rapidly from atrial fib. to bradycardia(I think I have that right)..Anyway, she came through the surgery well..As you know though, she was already ill with the temporal arteritis and polymyalgia..She is doing better now..and her parents have taken her home with them.
She won't be back until late September.
Raine asked me to tell you that she is leaving Stumbleupon for now but will be back and thanks you for all your care and concern..
Sorry, I took so long to post this. I thank you for your concern for my cousin and know she will miss you..
Enjoy your Summer and Raine will be back in the Autumn...

for Klassy

If you were a painting,
instead of a poem,
you would be done
and sold for a fortune
and hang on the wall,
or on a cross,
in a museum or a mansion
until you were lost
in flood or fire.

You'd have said
everything you have to say
and you'd have said it
the same every day
in Spanish at least,
or another language
you have yet to name.

If you were a painting,
instead of a poem
speaking a language
that you must invent
before you know
what you will say,
where the message
is the music of every
breath without intent,
without occasion
or excuse,
without situation
or abuse,

you would paint the tragedy
of loving a savior
who will always lose you
because he always
turns around.
You would be owned
and shown and
you would know
an end to dying,
but no beginning
to living, an end
to trying to be more
by being less, an end
to trying to be
beautiful.

If you were a painting,
instead of a poem...
But you are a poem
and you are not done,
and what you mean
is as much in
how you say it
as what you say.
You are a miracle,
you come back from
tragedy,
you come back from death.
You are a miracle
between the lines
in your next breath.

~XineAnn
