me too, the geometry of the streetlights is perfect. reminds me of empty reference repeat.

actually it is a mommy lamp post trying to help her little boy with his wiring. she has been feeding him electricity and is telling him if he wants to grow up and be big like his father then he had better finish all his food. she says to him that to appreciate the peace and beauty around him is to appreciate all the beauty this country offers. look out onto the horizon, to the end of the world, see the power and beauty between the ocean and the land. both opposites yet both make this planet.

i spent a couple of hours sitting by the ocean. the traffic had diminished to a nill and i could feel the cool dampness sneaking in around me. my solitude was soon suddenly interupted. a young man came running past me with a guitar case in his hand. immediately behind him a young women was running and screaming, "let him get hit by a car, let him get hit by a car". i didn't know what she meant until i saw the little boy come running across the intersection. his arms were outstreched wide and his face streaming with tears. in total abandon and fear he ran after his mother screaming, "mommy, mommy, mommy..." i ran after them, hesitatingly, to make sure no harm would come to the child. about 50 feet from me they stopped, in the cool, silence of the night. the man was on his knees holding his head in his hands. the women with her arms around his neck spoke quickly and softly, placing her forehead on his. the child had doth his arms around his mothers legs, crying and holding on for dear life. it was all too wild and fast. as quickly as it had begun, it had ended. i watched them walk away, talking and holding the hand of the little boy. i stood there in the silence of the night and watched them walk away. i had entered into a heart wrenching situation between a couple and their son. i ran the scene over and over again thinking of a happy ending for them but i believe the boy will remember this evening for a long time. i looked at the moons glow on the water and it made me think of the long road we have to travel.

there is something very final yet open about this image: one senses death here, and the start of something entirely beyond us.

the little human things we build at the edge of the shoreline...so geometric. who or what will remember them?
