I was reminded of your dreamy bird imagery when I read the following account of a poetry reading by in San Francisco:
"[Cassie Smith] talked about a terrifying dream she had where a bird flew into a window just next to her and dropped dead, then explaining that within twenty-four hours of that dream that event happened to her in real life. She wondered what her real name, Cassandra, might mean given this story. [One of the lines of her poem:] 'Our birds in flight with these lines.'"
Here is the source of the account: http://dbqp.blogspot.com/2008/08/remembering-readings.html
I want to add this Red Bird Series to a bunch of art message cards (15 so far, maybe 50 or more in the works) that I intend to self publish on YouPublish.com, but I can't get the files to upload. My computer ... I'm sure.
I don't know any other way to thank you for stopping by other than to say so here. I hope you find this message.
I haven't been to visit the blog address you suggested yet as my computer has been really finicky lately ... like that's news. It's really getting bad though, and I fear being stranded in the real world with no cyberspace link. I have no resources to get a new one ... unless my house sells before the computer crashes ... all the way. I feel grounded already. My computer is functioning on less than 5% of its total memory. One of the things on my list to buy, in celebration of closing a deal on this house, is a nice laptop. Not the best, because I will not be getting that much money -- but nice. I have to start over with the money from the sale. Everything.
Anyway, I am glad that you stop by now and again, and I hope that this blog does not go completely dormant. If it does, I will bring it back to life when I have some time and money. Keep checking in.
I guess all this mumbo jumbo is why you don't have your email address posted anywhere to be found on your sites. I have been back to visit a few times.
I knew a Sandra Smith once. I wonder if her name was really Cassandra? I have been looking for her lately. I will try my computer again later to see if I can get onto some other sites and check out_ http://dbqp.blogspot.com/2008/08/remembering-readings.html
Vera Charline Wareham is my full name, and this blog is about my developing book, "Patchwork Faces of the Moon." Dreams and visions play a large role as the stories progress.
This is not a novel, but a book. It is three different stories of the lives of three women--Song, the youngest ages from about five to fourteen throughout her stories; Cici is a middle aged hippie type; and Chyenne is the oldest, about sixty. Although Song changes the most in the years that pass, time changes all three on their journey to self-discovery.
Their life paths cross in unusual and somewhat spooky ways. Each character's chapters will be sequential, but all character's chapters will be shuffled together--one of the reasons for the name "Patchwork Faces of the Moon." This is a predominantly nonfiction account of "Tangled Memoirs", which is the subtitle.
There may be intervals of time that no new posts are made. As with the series, "Study of a Red Bird at My Window," some posts may be left a few weeks before the top post is replaced. All work--art, stories, dreamku or whatever--is part of the pattern or process of creating "Patchwork Faces of the Moon."
How about ... may be left for a few years...
I am also putting together a coffee table book of art and prose, taken from my personal website "Through My Window" and my gallery site "Heart Felt Dance--VCW Original Photographic Art." Work from that endeavor may appear on this blog also. The red bird series is a project that may have images included in that book tentatively called "Heart Felt Dance."
I now am considering burning a CD of my website Through My Window, it certainly would be more in my budget than creating a printed book with so many photoghahs and art images.
My other web sites have links below. Thanks for viewing.

So Glad to hear from you again Craig.
