homeless in new york

over the past few months homelessness has seemed to increase on new york city streets. for me, the winter certainly amplifies the homeless souls i see walking around the city of new york. to see a neighbor on the planet, suffering in the cold is a difficult thing for any compassionate person not to notice. but also, the world economy and the lack of jobs and current opportunity has forced many onto the streets.

the wind whispered

all night and day, the wind has whispered through the windows. the trees are shaking and the clouds are racing fast across the sky.

...winter's afternoon, i walked the entire length of el parque central in neuva york with my first ever true friend from college. we bundled up and explored the cold and magnificient city park that dots this delta island until the sun decided to set.

broad channelling

our moon is blazing almost half full on this domingo evening. the sky is clear and today really, spring gifted us a hint of wildlfower honey.

on a day of cooler weather, two journeymen embarked on a voyage to broad channel, yes, first the subway station stop and then onward, past a statue of a man without a home and into a world of birds and racoons, frozen water and frozen feet. the jamaica bay wildlife refuge out in broad channel, nyc in queens was our land of exploration this week for a day.

with rations stocked, film loaded and minds open, the bihari bhai and the behen ji, rolled out on a true concrete jungle exploration. we traversed a boomerang loop, with both nature made birds in sight and silver machine crafted birds cruising far out of sight. we had found a winter jungle home outside for an afternoon.

this is sahir ji, his kicks and his pant legs in broad channel.
