Fleeting House: Nesting

"I lit My purest candle close to my window

Hoping it would catch the eye of any vagabond

Who passed it by and I waited in my

Fleeting House."

Tim Buckley,

"Morning Glory" 1967.

"Our cities are productive because they magnify humankind's greatest asset: our ability to learn from the people around us."

-- Edward Glaeser in the Financial Times, March 8th, 2011.

Some Cities have a spiritual pull, a tale to tell, a language, maps and legends told to others who may never go. I have never been to London, yet there is a London of the Mind.

San Francisco bring a coat,
it's cold outside at night,
believe me.
Full moon rise over Haight Street,
it's bigger than I am.
It's bigger than the sky.
Hope The Mission takes me in.
I'm painting with colors in alleys with Californians.
