I paint with oils, print with ink, sculpt with clay, play my violin, grow animals and vegetables, travel, dream and theorize. And then I write all about it here.

Here is the journey


Here is the journey:
 Eyes open
feet land outside
your mother’s front door

going through the spaces where
everything falls
in place.

Shades of grey
now a dream within a dream
the time between morning and day,
evening and night.

Your eyes again, blind
off moisture, prisms and stars
fractured in the atmosphere and

glittering, like so many beads
on the dew dropped spider’s web.

Misty haze of humidity-
squinting vision from stinging wind.

Hands grope to find the
well- worn treads of others
so your feet may finally
touch the soil

where the never ending
glow of glorious home is
from which you started anyway.
