Sad to have lost her. You are very lucky to have met them! It takes my breath away to look at any of her paintings or pen and ink drawings.

...typing in the dark is hard...

so, i edit this now, a bit laters.

this link is of the original file i'd found somewheres in some dusty corner of web, of the B&W image above. except this original one is huge, not contrasted out to the Nth degree and one can see her penstrokes in closeup. not to mention how much she waters her ink down.

naming things ...yeah, hard to even explain (or put a name to it) what that does to or in our thinking, like it corrals our understanding of a thing that is yet still ever being redetermined... as jones is herself now with her passing maybe.

feminizing comes to mind. she implied a Gaiain perspective maybe.

Harold Shull posted an extremely interesting anecdotal dispatch on hanging out with jones in the early '70's:

i was trying to find out why jones had passed on and went to google. this post is so far the only thing that suggests anything.

tanks, kiddo. & yano, i nevered mentioned whom th dude in the painting is, tis vaughn bode', the 'ol cheech wizard hisself. somehow, you brought that lost detail to mind. chaos & sense may roughhouse a lot but they're buds, sure enough.
