Helpless

i love the moon….and birds. combined they evoke a reaction in my spirit i’ve never been able to explain. my friend rob lives on a beautiful farm outside washington d.c. and loves going for morning and evening walks with his pack of wild muts.

a few days ago this image popped into my inbox. it was, i think, taken by rob with the camera on his blackberry. wow! they say of the (literally) billions of images taken on cell phones each year, only a tiny fraction ever make it off the phone. This one deserves to be seen - i hope it sparks something in you the way it did in me. to make it a rich multimedia experience, view this image while listening to neil young’s “helpless” on the classic csn&y album “déjà vu” or for a wonderful cover of the song, go to itunes and download deb montgomery’s version on her “ask for angels” album:

blue, blue windows behind the stars
yellow moon on the rise
big birds flying across the sky
throwing shadows on our eyes
leave us helpless, helpless, helpless…

Thanks for the shot rwt – send more…
