Transitions
Broken and weak
Was it tiredness that made you sleep
Have you lost your will to speak
Was the earth spinning round
Were you falling through the ground
As the world came tumbling down
You prayed to God what have we done
Free me from these chains I need to change my way
Heal these broken wings I need to fly far away, far away, far away
Was it emptiness that made you weep
No more secrets to keep
Was it bitterness that gave you time
To forgive your sins
Was the earth spinning round
Were you falling through the ground
As the world came tumbling down
You prayed to God what have we done
Free me from these chains I need to change my way
Heal these broken wings I need to fly far away
Free me from these thoughts long forgotten down below
Take these angel’s words give them life to carry on, carry on, carry on
Free me from these chains…
Spinning, Zero 7 (from the album Simple Things)

I’m taking a few weeks off from blogging, while I churn through Yet Another Overwhelming To Do List™, a trip to Florida next week, and — finally, finally — near-term plans not only for a complete web site overhaul but for a finalization of my divorce.
Foreword will be back, even if it’s not exactly like what is before you now. I’m eager to get re-acquainted!
Meanwhile, I hope to see you online — perhaps over at Joseph’s — or out in the world. I’m easy to spot — long hair, big camera, and the finest felines everywhere showing me what’s what:
See you soon!
P.S. If you got here from Google, or are otherwise looking for resources regarding book design, please don’t let my break from blogging stop you from taking advantage of this site’s nearly two thousand posts on book design, photography, publishing, and much more. Use the category links in the left column to browse, or search for something specific. And I’m serious — I will be back in just a few weeks. Please check back.

Just think: you’re almost there. Good deal. Oh, and a great photo. ;-)
