Thoughtful, Duane. I'm drawn to collages, because they really make you think. I love the idea of layering materials, to emulate human psychology, to evoke deeper meaning to thoughts and actions, whether your prose leads or follows, or simply depends on how it flows, to create an emotional synergy you seem to have mastered. Thanks for sharing.
I love this image of two hearts pulsing together! It makes me think, too, how many things have to come together in just the way they do, how many lives must be lived in just this way or that, for a single collage/poem/creation to be exactly what it is. That paper must land here. That bird must land there. You must arrive, with your eyes open at just that moment. Maybe everything we create, if we could know all the entanglements, is actually made of many, many hearts, pulsing together across space-time.

Thank you so much Cave! I think you’d perfectly described teh very thing that makes collage so meaningful to me! I appreciate you my friend!
Well said!!
Much appreciated! <3 <3
Yes I did just turn my laptop upside down to read the handwriting on that amazing little scrap of old paper!
Gorgeous words, gorgeous collages. As usual.
That’s why you get me! haha!
Oh I did this same thing yep
Omg we are all birds of a feather!!
We absolutely are. What kind of bird are we?? Something beautifully weird and important but allows space for Duane to have quiet time
😂😂😂
We will have to think on this!!
Oh I can’t wait to see where this goes!
I have never seen this explained before in a better way than you just did! Bravo!
Wow!! Thank you Angel! I really appreciate that!
Love the first collage!!!
Thank you!!
I felt this. Deeply.
Gorgeous everything as usual, my dear friend.
“Back to the moment when two hearts find each other in the darkness and start speaking.”
Such a visual and true knowing in that fragment.
❤️
a true knowing in a fragment - that is stunning! I hope you'll save that!
Ugh ok fine I’ll write it down with the rest
Well done! You’ll be glad you did!

LISA!! YES! Nothing is ever just open. Our hearts are always legion, for they are many.
“The aliveness was never pinned to completion.” A resonant meditation. Thank you.
Thank you so much! So glad it resonates with you!
Exactly, Duane! You’re amazing!
Aww! Thank you Martha!
"A figure of curiousity" really stuck with me. I can't say why, only that it did. Very cool.
I love that! Thank you Donn! I love it when that happens. I appreciate it!
that's it exactly! so taken with these collages
Thank you Maria!! means a lot to me!!
That is absolutely it- exactly - the synchronization of pulses - the alignment- heading, together, towards the finish line
Yes! There’s always something inherently collaborative at play!
