three part delight and a bonus


quicksilver night sings
getting lost in it's delight
look up be starstruck

birdsong brings me joy after the rain singing their babes home for bed. then i close eyes, ears focused on the mockingbirds, our neighborhood sentinels, calling out in ordered succession, and i listen to every call with delight.

the birds are with me.

incremental moments of euphoria are present to relish every day...
like the first sip of morning coffee, a good hug or dialing it up to a higher creative flow, 
and so much more & in between...
acknowledge every moment of delight & don't ever give it a slight.

BONUS DELIGHT: 


Oh My Masala, my taste buds delight!

How did I get so far in years without this spice in my life?

On this prompt day for vss365 our word is masala courtesy of @revsodhi & I've ruminated on how to use it all day. 

Crickets.

My husband wanted to try a new recipe for butter chicken and I thought, synchronicity! 
(Pretty sure we don't have this spice in our pantry though.)

It's not widely available in my small rural town so we would have to do without.

Later, while he's cooking, he hollers from the pantry, "What's Masala?"

I holler back it's an Indian spice & it would be nice if we had some to try in this dish, also now thinking I'm in the twilight zone. 

He emerges from the pantry with a bottle of Masala cooking wine neither of us remembered we had in the pantry!

I am in the twilight zone. 

The finished dish was incredible! 

Please note, I never said the word masala today until after dinner when I told him of this very short story.😂

(Thanks, Rev! That was fun prompt!😂)

That was my Sunday, how was yours? 😂

TL/DR : The Short Version: If photography is "capturing light," synthography is "distilling language." I feed my poetry into a digital "imagination camera" that translates my metaphors into patterns and pixels—turning the DNA of my writing into a visual landscape.  Synthography it is. In short, it means human and AI collaboration to create an image, video, or song.  More in depth from Google:   "Synthography is the emerging art form of creating images using artificial intelligence (AI) models, a process distinct from traditional photography (which captures light) or digital painting, where an artist uses prompts, parameters, and iterative refinement to generate visuals from text or other inputs, essentially "writing" or "drawing" with an "imagination camera".  It combines "synthetic" creation with "graphy" (writing/drawing) to describe the skill of crafting detailed prompts and tuning AI mo...
