		<description><![CDATA[The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog &#160; Let’s go back to the lazy dog, afternoon sun lingering on his tail, the warmth of that disturbed by a fox shadow.

For the killer kiss that tips the boat and flips the keel so it swings like an ivory blade against blue sky and we, off-kilter, unskilled sailors that we are, strike for the shore.

Blyth) I love that Basho poem because it describes, in a few words, the essence of my ideal daily creative practice. I&#8217;ve adopted it as my mission statement. Only, it&#8217;s not just a statement. It&#8217;s a poem. [...]
