Ellen Buselli's Opening at Salmagundi

Ellen Buselli's paintings are gathered in a gallery overlooking 47- fifth avenue. The perfect place for these exquiste visual jewels.

Rainy Foggy

So like spring, milder weather but still foggy and moody like winter.

Spring

Spring arrived early, preceded by snowstorms and what could only be called a tempest. Runners, walkers, bikers, are everywhere, like inmates who have broken out the asylum.

First College Lacrosse Game

In the pouring rain this afternoon I watched Ryan's first College lacrosse game -hats off to you Ryan, for perserverance and skill.

Last Hockey Game

Last game tonight. Last Hockey Game. Owen's team lost tonight in the State Championship quarterfinals. The team played great. They should all be proud of their season. Owen was sad to think of the season ending. Very hard to imagine not beginning a new hockey season next fall...so it goes.

Another Beautiful Destination

Rock and Hawk

Here is a symbol in which
Many high tragic thoughts
Watch their own eyes.

This gray rock, standing tall
On the headland, where the seawind
Lets no tree grow,

Earthquake-proved, and signatured
By ages of storms: on its peak
A falcon has perched.

I think, here is your emblem
To hang in the future sky;
Not the cross, not the hive,

But this; bright power, dark peace;
Fierce consciousness joined with final
Disinterestedness;

Life with calm death; the falcon's
Realist eyes and act
Married to the massive

Mysticism of stone,
Which failure cannot cast down
Nor success make proud.
