Clouds, Joni Mitchell (1969)
Tumblr media
On Clouds Joni Mitchell reeled in the yodelling and demanded – really, really demanded – her listeners’ ears. She’d maintain that captivation throughout much of her career (or at least throughout the next decade or so), developing upon these delicious melodies, sumptuous harmonies and painterly lyrics with even greater depth and complexity.
Pick: ‘Both Sides, Now’

It's one of those perfect spring days where the sun is warm on your skin and the breeze is just cool enough to keep you from sweating. The sky is crystal blue and the clouds look like a painting. Bees, fat and dusty with pollen, hum lazily around you there on your blanket with Elvis.
You've been dating for a little over a month now and today he had the idea to go on a picnic in a field of wildflowers. He knows you well enough to know it's exactly the kind of thing you'd be into. The year is 1969 and the thing that drew him to you is your obsession with the spirituality of nature and human connection. He calls you his flower child and teases you gently, but he actually loves the way you think about things. It speaks to a part of him that goes unacknowledged by everyone else around him. So a picnic blanket in a field of wildflowers is how he shows you that he understands.
Your hair hangs around your shoulders and blows across your face when the breeze catches it. You sit with your long legs bent and tucked up under your hip. Elvis is lying down, propped up on one elbow to face you. He reaches out and tucks your hair behind your ear, running his fingertip down the side of your face gently.
There's an air of expectation between you. You've been on six dates now and you've kissed a lot, but that's as far as it's gotten. Now, you're here on this blanket under the wide sky completely alone. Still, everything is so perfect that you're both hesitant to make the first move.
You finish a monologue about your most recent yoga experience and the silence hangs heavy with anticipation.
"Lay down here with me." He pats the blanket beside himself. You rearrange so that you're on your back next to him and he puts his hand on your stomach. He leans forward and his lips find yours in a soft kiss. Three more soft kisses and you roll up onto your side to face him, the kisses intensifying. His hand moves from the side of your face down your back to your hip, where he pulls your body in close to his. You feel him hardening against you and your center responds as his tongue dips hungrily into your mouth. He moves his hand down to your thigh and slides it up under your sundress, grabbing a handful of your ass. Pulling back from the kiss, he looks into your eyes to make sure this is okay. When you don't object, his hand continues to roam over your body making his way up to your breast where it's nestled under your dress. He's pleased to discover that you aren't wearing a bra and his thumb grazes your nipple gently. He presses his lips to the supple skin of your breast and sighs. You know he's ready for the next step and so are you.
His eyes meet yours and a smile plays across your mouth as if you're letting him know you're ready. He returns the smile and presses his lips to yours affectionately. Then, you sit up and lift your dress over your head, so that you're there in front of him in nothing but your panties. He looks down over your body in adoration.
"Damn, baby." He almost whispers it as he takes in every little part of you. After a few seconds, he moves his lips down and finds your nipple. He sucks it into his mouth and lets his tongue flick against it. You moan softly at the sensation of his warm mouth on you. He kisses back up to your collarbone while his hand gently caresses your breast. His mouth moves back to yours where he kisses you deeply, his thumb still circling your nipple. Your hand is in his hair and you drag it down his body to tug at his shirt. He sits up and pulls it over his head and off. You run your palms along his shoulders to the hair on his chest and down to the top of his waistband. His cock is fully erect and stretching the fabric of his shorts. You begin to move down his body with hot kisses, pressing your lips to his chest and stomach until you reach the place just below his bellybutton. You slide both hands under the back of his shorts to grab his ass and press your hips into him. Then, you pull them down his legs and off, cock bouncing free, and he whimpers. As you make your way back up his body, you palm his dick and begin to slowly pump him with your hand. He grunts and closes his eyes, rolling onto his back. After a few seconds, you hold him by his shaft and put your mouth around the tip of him. His hands immediately go to your hair.
"Oh, fuck, honey, god that's good." His hips buck into your mouth and you open your throat and push him as deeply as he'll go, pressing your nose into the soft patch of hair at the base of him. You drag your tongue up the bottom of his shaft and then pull his foreskin back, revealing the pink head of his dick. You lick a circle around it and he groans. His hand moves to your center and he feels how wet your panties are. This turns him on even more and he moves them out of the way to slide a finger into you.
"That's a good girl. So wet for me, baby." You moan as you bounce your mouth up and down on his cock. He moves his finger faster, pulling it out to make circles on your clit and then adding a second finger to push inside you. You take him fully into your throat again and he lets out a guttural groan. He pulls his fingers out of you and slaps your ass gently.
"Lay back down, baby, I wanna make you feel good before I cum." You nod and obey, releasing his dick from your grasp and settling yourself on the blanket. Removing your panties quickly, he runs his hands up your body and then rolls on top of you to tease your clit with his tip for a bit. But he doesn't push into you, not yet. First, he moves down your torso with gentle kisses and soft nips. When he gets your hip, he sucks on your skin hard enough to leave a mark and you whimper. You know he's branding you as his, and you're not complaining. Once he's finished with the mark, he kisses over to your center and runs his tongue up your slit, blowing gently on your clit before pressing his tongue to you. He moves up each side and then drags his tongue across your clit, picking up a swift pace of licking over and around your sensitive bud. Pleasure like waves of warm sunlight crashes over your body as he works between your legs. You feel the hair on his cheeks tickling your thighs as he moves his mouth on you passionately. You've never been with a man who chases your climax so enthusiastically. He slides two fingers into your pussy and pumps them in and out as he licks you desperately. You feel the coil of your orgasm tighten in your belly and your walls flutter as it approaches. He flattens his tongue and drags it up and then side to side over your clit. You're dancing on the edge of ecstatic release and he knows it.
"Let go, baby." He says quietly into you. And then you do. Your orgasm bursts through you and you cum harder than you ever have there under the wide open sky.
"Oh, god, yes Elvis!" You moan, his name tumbling out of you without your control. He continues to stimulate you as you ride out your high, running your fingers through his hair and grinding into his mouth. When you finally do come down, he pulls back and wipes his face with his hand.
"That might be the best pussy I've ever tasted." He laughs quietly as you push him onto his back on the blanket. You straddle his hips and he holds his cock straight as you lower yourself onto him. As he slides inside, you both moan together with the sensation of your tightness stretching around his size. When you settle with him fully pushed into you, you have the thought that you never want to be without this feeling. You lean forward onto his chest and begin to lift your hips and drop them rhythmically. His cock slides in and out of you with each thrust of your hips and it feels so good you could scream. You let out a little half cry as he begins to pump into you from underneath and he whispers.
"You can be loud, honey. Who's going to hear you? The bees?" You sit up a little and look into his eyes, realizing he's right. You're the only two around for miles. It's just you and him and the sky and the flowers brushing the edges of your blanket. He holds your hips and pounds into you vigorously and you cry out with each thrust.
"Yes! Fuck! Elvis! Yes!" He smiles as the sweat gathers on his chest.
"That's it baby. You're takin' me so well. I love this little pussy." His hips meet yours over and over as he slams into you. He grabs the back of your hair and pulls you down to kiss him as he keeps fucking into you.
"'M gonna cum so hard. You want it inside you, baby? You wanna feel daddy fill you up?"
"Yes, god, yes please!" He kisses you hard again and then shudders his hips into yours. You feel him pulse and shoot his release into you. He pumps weakly a few more times and then relaxes underneath you as you lay on his chest. He tucks one hand up under his head and the other around you to make lazy circles on your back. When he talks, you hear his voice in his chest where you have your ear pressed to him.
"Baby, that was incredible."
"It really was." You lift your head and look up at him.
"I need to tell you somethin' and I don't want you to go flippin' out on me. Okay?"
"Okay." You breathe deeply, afraid of what might be coming next. He brings his hand up to cup your cheek.
"I'm in love with you. I've thought I might be for a while, but this today just proved it to me. And I know it's quick, but we're connected somehow. I'm not crazy, right?" His eyebrows go together and you can tell he's starting to doubt himself.
"You're not crazy. I feel it too. The universe brought us together. And you know I don't argue with the wisdom of the universe."
"Of course you don't, flower child. It's one of a thousand reasons I love you." He pulls your lips to his and kisses you deeply.
You spend the rest of the afternoon naked together on the blanket, just you and him and the love that binds you together under the crystal sky. It may not be forever, but it's right now, and that's enough for both of you.

The End

Mark Rothko, Untitled, 1969 Oil on canvas 1998 Kate Rothko Pritzel and Christopher Rothko / Artist Rights Society, New York (ARS) Courtesy of Pace Gallery
As not to cloud our years of endless (good and bad) scans of the 1969 dark paintings, I am putting this up as a new post. Note that the thin border on some of these is painted on by Rothko, a huge change specific for this series. As Rothko usually paints to (or off) the edges of the canvas, the sense of containment and focus is speaks quite differently here.

CAN WE HARNESS THE FULL ENERGY OF THE SUN??
Blog#343
Wednesday, October 25th, 2023
Welcome back,
Our civilization will need more power in the future. Count on it. The ways we use power today: for lighting, transportation, food distribution and even entertainment would have sounded hilarious and far fetched to our ancestors.
As our technology improves, our demand for power will increase. I have no idea what we'll use it for, but I guarantee we'll want it. Perhaps we'll clean up the oceans, reverse global warming, turn iron into gold, or any number of activities that take massive amounts of energy.
Tumblr media
Fossil fuels won't deliver, and they come with some undesirable side effects. Nuclear fuels will only provide so much power until they run out.
We need the ultimate in energy resources. We'll want to harness the entire power of our star. The Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev predicted that a future civilization might eventually harness the power of an entire planet. He called this a Type I civilization.
Tumblr media
A Type II would harness the entire energy output of a star. And a Type III civilization would utilize the power of their entire galaxy. So let's consider a Type II civilization.
What would it actually take to harness 100% of the energy from a star? We'd need to construct a Dyson Sphere or Cloud and collect all the solar energy that emanates from it. But could we do better? Could we extract material directly from a star?
Tumblr media
You bet, it's the future!
This is an idea known as "stellar lifting". Stealing hydrogen fuel from the Sun and using it for our futuristic energy needs. In fact, the Sun's already doing it… poorly. Stars generate powerful magnetic fields. They twist and turn across the surface of the star, and eject hydrogen into space. But it's just a trickle of material. To truly harness the power of the Sun, we need to get at that store of hydrogen, and speed up the extraction process.
Tumblr media
There are a few techniques that might work. You can use lasers to heat up portions of the surface, and increase the volume of the solar wind. You could use powerful magnetic fields to carry plasma away from the Sun's poles into space.Which ever way it happens, once we've got all that hydrogen. How do we use it to get energy? We could combine it with oxygen and release energy via combustion, or we could use it in our space reactors and generate power from fusion.
Tumblr media
But the most efficient way is to feed it to a black hole and extract its angular momentum. A highly advanced civilization could siphon material directly from a star and send it onto the ergosphere of a rapidly spinning pet black hole.
Here's Dr. Mark Morris, a Professor of Astronomy at UCLA. He'll explain:
Tumblr media
"There is this region, called the ergosphere between the event horizon and another boundary, outside. The ergosphere is a very interesting region outside the event horizon in which a variety of interesting effects can occur. For example, if we had a black hole at our disposal, we could extract energy from spinning black holes by throwing things into the ergosphere and grabbing whatever comes out at even higher speeds."
Tumblr media
This is known as the Penrose process, first identified by Roger Penrose in 1969. It's theoretically possible to retrieve 29% of the energy in a rotating black hole. Unfortunately, you also slow it down. Eventually the black hole stops spinning, and you can't get any more energy out of it. But then it might also be possible to extract energy from Hawking radiation; the slow evaporation of black holes over eons. Of course, it's tricky business.
