Search

"Search"

 This new piece is called search. I hesitated to call it that because many of  my works feel like a search. Most of the things I do in my life are a search of sorts. I am always looking for my keys, my wallet, the best way to join two pieces of wood, the most effective route to a destination, the meaning to everything, not to mention a search for self.

Who am I really?

     One Thought:

I am looking

Looking for the moment

I became the line

Not the person holding the pen

But the line the pen made

I am that line

I find myself there

Every time I move the pen

Moved to define

Create shape

Shaded to forge depth

I am the line

Drawing it all together

It doesn't stop there

Because I am also

The color

Who We Are

"Scattered Fragments"

Fibers of thought, dream, vision, remembrance

Pulling apart and reconnecting

Always in flux

Transmission of electricity

and desire

All the truly who we are

All the you and I's

Are the light beyond

Who we have been made into

Stands before

Peering through

Allowing us to see

Through

To Us

Truly

Holding up the Blue

Holding up the sky

Holding up the Blue

There are structures that hold up the sky

No, you can not see them

Don't worry

Most people can't see them

If you were aware of them

You would worry, probably

It is best that you can not see these things

They are very well made

So do not worry about it

Don't even think about it

If you haven't up till now

There is no reason to start

the sky is well supported

So really, don't think about it anymore.

Just stop!

Moment #26

A Non-Natural Nature

Moment #26

 

Said and Done

Collaboration 048

Leave me in stillness

In a field of waving grain

Remember me as motion

Never meant to last

I had my rise

Moments in the sun

And then surrender

When all was said and done

We are beats to one another

Tempos kept in step

Hands grasping hands

Laughing till we wept

The trees were green

But there was more here to be seen 

Beyond color beyond form

The movement of a soul longing to be born

Always there

beyond time

Outside of counting

Your way along a line

Where this you and I 

are more as one

We are the motion when all is said

And all seems done

The wave flows on

The dance is who we are

the swaying fields of grain

to the distant spinning star

Pieces of paper I drew on, Why?

No, This is Where it All Comes Together

Thoughts:

 I drew on these pieces of paper

and then I glued them on another 

piece of paper and made marks and

colored around them. It's like a travel 

brochure for different mind-scapes.

I keep looking for that place

the place where everything comes

together and it all makes sense.

All the colors, all the lines, where all

ideas join together and it works.

I think it is what all art searches for.

Maybe it's just me, but I think it's why

we keep making images again and

again. We are seeking the harmony

that we think life dose not possess. 

The reality is the harmony is there,

but like the artist we are looking to

closely at life. Pull way back and the

universe has harmony. It has a balance

 and a flow.  The problem is we think it is

all about us. I am looking out of these eyes so it's my perspective. The key is to 

keep looking, but out of all eyes. There is turmoil, destruction, death, birth, joy

celebration, it's all there and it all has its place, when you let go of you and your

isolationist perspective in it.  

Now, Just because I feel this does not mean I know how to put it into practice,

but I am trying. Moment to moment I try to be aware of what I see and how it

impacts me. I am trying not to make others agree with me, but I want to live so

they see I respect who and where they are in this life. 

This place of Harmony is at Hand

I need to Step Back into Everything

in order to see it

I will leave this here for now.
