An earthquake a few days ago but a tremor in this city that I have called home for years and years,
and now the imminent arrival of this Hurricane showing that nothing is safe nor has ever been so.
Material possessions (my favorite theme), are increasingly worthless.
That is the best thing that I can take from this experience, come what may.
And death is always around the corner, but I already knew that.
In salute and in defiance of Mother Nature, I offer the words of Le Corbusier from his Poem of the Right Angle (the right angle is a symbol for life and death- when you draw a right angle, the first line is when we are alive and standing, and the second line is flat as in when we are dead)
one has
with a piece of coal
traced the right angle
the sign
It is the response and the guide
the fact
a response
a choice
