where to begin..everything new under the sun , both hot and cold or wewly nold

 i started out as a child was the title of a comedy record (by bill cosby i think) way back in the 1960's...funny stuff...as we all start out on the particulate level we advance or progress to the point where we are an independent life hanging on by a thread ..so to speak...once that cord is cut and we enter this world ...we are already a product of both our environment (the womb) our collective past (genetics) a biological act (procreation) and hopefully the love of a mother and father...that plays out in many ways and forms not all of them that idyllic but so be it... teeny tiny feat take teeniie tiny steps and so it goes ...til your a teenager and beyond and perhaps your feet are a good bit larger (perhaps your ears and nose have minds of their own)...so this is an attempt to look at "the big picture' viewed thru my own personal "camera obscura" and all the little pictures that make up mind and matter...to end ..."the stars are matter,we're'matter but it don't matter" don van vliet aka as "capt. beefheart" ..it may be very true in some cosmic sense but all the small steps we take to save ourselves and the planet do matter........ and "you don't have to be a star baby..to be in my show as one "poet and player of musical instruments" burning spear ....put it....and finally....."and if you smile for the camera ,you know i'll love you better"steely dan...way back in the 1970's or 80's perhaps..don't care to google everything u.t.s. ..just yet
