the HPA Newsletter

19 in 15 years? Yes but I took 6 years off. 19 in 9 years. That sounds better.

They arent really news.. they were in the 90s before the Net. Nothings news anymore when you are online. HPA newsletters are rather then .. reflections.

Like of all things ... baby formula. They look small. A quick bottle. But the way they grow organically .. until common themes and random chance bind them together into some kind of song from out THERE .. they nourish. They nourish me, I keep the latest issue for months at my side to savor the things people have written, or caused me to write.

And all of this without even mentioning the subject. Its because our subject has an undertow of spirituality. Of beauty. Of restless curiosity. Of fascination with what the human hand, eye, and mind can build.

the HPA newsletter isnt a newsletter.

I dont know what it is. All I know is when one writes itself in its own time .. it becomes timeless. gare
