“Blurtso finds a cave”

blurtso1610

Hey, what’s this?

blurtso1573

I wonder where it leads?

blurtso1574

Maybe it leads to the center of the earth…

blurtso1577

…and maybe I’ll learn something I could never learn
in the light of day, something without words
and without appearance….

blurtso1575

something… that embraces and erases…

blurtso1576

… me

“Blurtso considers the end of an empire”

Maybe this is what killed the Egyptians.

“Pablo journeys to the greenhouse”

blurtso817

Over the hill and through the woods…

blurtso819

to my greenhouse I will go…

blurtso820

I’ll fill a wagon and return to our cabin…
where we’ll all live like H.D. Thoreau.

“Bonny and Pablo enjoy the birds and the bees”

blurtso522

There are many birds and bees today, said Pablo.

blurtso524

Yes, said Bonny, in the spring there are many birds and bees.

“Blurtso welcomes the spring”

What a colorful patch of flowers, said Blurtso, skipping across the field—red, yellow, blue, purple, yellow, red—and what a sweet spectrum of smells. Achoo!! he said, and sneezed as he said. Achoo!! Achoo!! Achoo!! he said between sniffle and wheeze. How silly to forget, said Blurtso, that the springtime makes me sneeze!

“Blurtso wonders what it’s like”

I suppose, thought Blurtso, this is what it’s like to become one with nature… I suppose this is what it’s like… to remember you are one with nature… I suppose this is what it’s like… not to think about what it’s like.

“Starry starry night”

“Pablo anticipates the spring”

blurtso1001

I can hear the last train… the night animals will be out. Tomorrow I’ll see their tracks in the snow. It must be exciting, moving quietly, feeling the pulse in your temples, seeing the hills in the grey light, and hearing the slender sound of the creek…

blurtso1000

Maybe I should go for a walk.

The ice is melting… it will soon be spring.

blurtso1046

Pablo? What are you doing? Please come back to bed…

“Blurtso jumps” (I)

blurtso2070

Harlan said you went skiing, said Alex. Yes, said Blurtso, and the strangest thing happened. What? said Alex. I was invited to join the ski team. Really? said Alex. In what event? In the ski jump, said Blurtso. Today is my first practice.

You want me to do what?
