#marionette — Public Fediverse posts

Visiting our Marionette shoot again from back in June. I'm still knocked out by how wonderfully everything came together for this session. Processed in Camera Raw, but no trips to Photoshop were needed :)

The Dance of Dissonance

Sometimes 
I find myself lost
at the end of 
a confusing day 
trying to decipher labyrinthian relations 
and coming up short,
suddenly wondering 
how a day I thought good 
was not for another,
caught up in 
opposing realities 
where mine is suspect
and empathy is a struggle.

The brain fog 
of past illness 
has left its trailing 
fingers over my head
like the cigarette smoke 
of the man I see one morning standing with his back to me on the dock outside the store where I used to work 
and I wonder why he is there. 

I am suspicious, feeling responsible for what is no longer mine to care about, so I observe, yet remain at a distance and leave without really discovering if his presence is innocent. 

Such is the dance of dissonance.
I am close enough to see your back but too far to see your face clearly,
afraid that if I look too closely I will not like what  I see or that I will recognize some ugly part of me.

I want to hear 
that which runs 
counter to my experience 
but I must be honest and say that my capacity to understand the complexities of human behavior is diminishing. 

I long for circles that are completely safe,
where the people I pass on the walk home illicit in me feelings other than fear,
lust, guilt, or judgement,
all of which mirror 
the overwhelming sense
of dislike
I feel from the
world, and from myself perhaps.

It is my inability to not receive everything personally, this overwhelming sadness,  unprotected by my hypervigilance, where I still seem to miss what is most important, and no matter how much I try to hold everything together, I cannot keep things from unraveling. 

How do I continue to remain caring and yet not take on burdens that are not mine to carry? 

This then is the strange choreography of relationship, the stumbling herky-jerky movements of a marionette pulled by invisible strings, revealed in the bright lights of another angry stage.

Yet we dance. 
Through the pain of revelation.
The occasional stepping on of toes.
In the percieved exposure of audience eyes.
Shedding these inadequate masks and costumes one by one.
Finding our own rhythm in the strange movings of this particular 
circle of love.

Thrilled to release a couple of my favorite images from my Marionette shoot with the lovely Elsa Rodriguez. Elsa came to me with the idea, and I "ran" with it. Many thanks to the whole team for helping bring this idea to life. Details in the comments.

Ah yes, the charming tale of a #marionette lynched by an oak 🌳—truly the #bedtime #story every child dreams of! 😱 Apparently, Collodi's wild ride of donkey drums and ghostly fairies was so enchanting that it became a #language lesson masquerading as #narrative #chaos, thrusting itself into every translation imaginable. Who would've guessed that a hanged puppet could wield such #educational power? 📚🤡

Nein, #Wirtschaftsministerin #Reiche versagt nicht - sie liefert genau das, wofür sie installiert wurde: #Energiewende beenden, #Gas verkaufen, auch an die #Atomindustrie wurde gedacht. Eine #Marionette der #Fossillobby.
