Play
an activity that brings you joy and has no particular result!
Play
arrange it one way, then another way. both ways work.
Play
you have an idea and I have an idea then we blend them together and find joy.

Everyday
Everyday I walk
I feel the Earth
under my feet
Pushing back
It holds me up
Gives me a place to stand
Tell me you fell it too
Tell me you feel it too...
I send this love I feel
to anyone of you
who may not feel the Earth needs you
It does
Find your place to stand

the bridge
True colors are not always necessary
The computer provides a trip into the imaginary
While I do like to bend the world this way
I would not want to dwell here everyday
I think it's the pink and the green
Yes it borders on obscene.
Still cool!

A Town
A town
in mind
in time
in case
in and around
in search of another space
I put color on the paper
then penned in shapes
it made me feel like I had found the place
nowhere in particular
found by forming lines
in a town drawn by me
Imagine what one finds
Above is a word storm. I look at the picture I created and try to write thoughts as fast as I can. I do get stuck sometimes. Trying to make fluid movements between my art work and my writing. I started the artwork to undo writer's block. Then I stopped writing. Now I am trying to find a balance.

The Body Broken
I feel movement
around me
within me
passing through me
way beyond me
all the time
The vibrations of this movement
break me apart
This is not a negative fracturing
The breaking apart allows me to be more
a part of everything
This is good

Tree
This Day
It set you on fire
the light passing through you
jumped into my sight
I raised the camera and grabbed the image
took it with me
took it home
saved the light and the fire
so I would always have it
but I don't really have it
I look at it
it is outside of me
I don't have the light and fire
you had it, tree, in that moment
I got to leave the moment there
with you, tree
let the moments move through me
and beyond
don't need to take it home
Breath

In The Works
My brain is a machine
with a program
that runs constantly
The program is designed
to keep me alive
The program's definition of alive
is survival
It is all it has ever known
When I ask it to show me true life
it says
it's in the works,
keep moving forward and you will work it out
Let's think some more
Just keep thinking
You will work it out
Don't stop thinking
cause then you are dead,
just run the program
It is in the works
I no longer think
this is true life.

Thoughts on Portals
Are you looking for a way to somewhere else?
Or are you already somewhere else looking for the way back?
The moral of most portal stories is, Stay put!
The lure of the light within the portal is an illusion.
The decision to go belongs to each traveler.
Just remember you are already somewhere else.
Are you getting this?
Wait, where did you go?

Reflections
Within the building
He kept his dream
But the dream was so big
The building burst at the seams
Once on the street
The dream continued expanding
time to back up
and think about where you are standing

Fragments of Stories
Inside my head are fragments of stories.
They are all mixed together
like a jig-saw puzzle
that makes no sense.
There are many more than those pictured here.

Face It
In every face
I find myself in some way
they are not me
they are not the me I pretend to be
they have the right to their own creation
that they have formed through years of work
but still I find myself in the pretending
we are all pretending
we are good at it
face it
we all start from the same clean slate
and life molds us into the pretending
I am in every face
and you are all in mine
Look
face it

The Color
The Color was never in the sky
It was always there within the eye
I made it up, I made it up
Close your eyes and it's gone

Right Now
June 2020
"Right Now"
is the painting's name
It's a brain dump
just marks, shapes and faces
like free writing
with paint and paint pens

Characters in The Room
I was in this room
filled with others
waiting for something;
feel like I find these rooms a lot
As I wait
I imagine I can see myself
through the eyes of the others
in the room
Of course they are always amazed
I mean come on, it's me
I have been playing this role my whole life
I am really good at being me
Then they look sideways
and realize I am in their head
looking at me
things never go well after that
just not enough room

This is Where I Have Come To
This is where,
well not a where,
more like a how -
how when you think
of everything
all at once
and it all runs together
into a puddle
left from a mental rainstorm.
You say
so this is where I am,
how I've come to be?
where I've come to...
just that.

You Were
where you are not who you are,
and you can accept that it may just be the moment;
but there is the possibility that you never were who you thought you were.
