Ego is like sugar.
Feed off it,
Burn fast and crash.
11.2.2013


Waking up late

Continuum contracts,
Resonance feels personal,
Fine details merge,
My world appears.
11.3.2013


Nights below freezing,
Inner fire.

11.5.2013


Given the expansion,
that the frame is forever exceeded,
what is set free?
11.6.2013


Awareness in sleep but not a dream.
11.7.2013


Beauty is a dream,
Body is a dream,
Being is a dream.
11.8.2013


Late in the day,
Low in the sky,
The light.

Can never quite put my finger on it...

Seven Lines



A line improvised by following the breath.

Pencil down on the in breath, pencil up on the out breath.

Not able to sit still.

Distracted by thought.

The way the pencil feels in my hand.

Indulging in decoration.

The line in my mind abstracted from my vision.

How much meditation for a moment of release?


How much release for a moment of meditation?

Recycling.

Was it inevitable? Could I have drawn cycles, carved cycles, shown cycles, and talked about cycles, without eventually cycling back?

The artworks that grew from the cycles, the 'expansions', are finding their way into the world now; and it feels to me like my energy is returning to a ground state, a basic loop. What will spin out of the mandala next?

Anything but still.


Still seeing lots of turbulence in the drawings,
along with indicators of transition, and summaries of the past.

Still sensing holidays, family, traveling, and show;
drawing spontaneously outside of flow.

Still sitting unsettled, mind wandering, thoughts arising,
ideas firing; observing the observer observing.

Up above my head, I hear music in the air.
Up above my head, I hear music in the air.
Up above my head, I hear music in the air.
I really do believe, I really do believe
There's a Heaven somewhere.

Lyrics from "Up Above My Head" (1948)
by Sister Rosetta Tharpe

Beginning of resonance. An idea still floating but tantalizingly close to the surface. The terms are exciting. The topics disparate. Ego dreams distract. The waves collapse but fail to capture it. I reset to the center and practice patience; not wanting to want.

Some days just unfold beautifully all by themselves.

Digesting
11.24.2013


A flower in winter.

11.26.2013


Mindful of old patterns emerging.

the bell calling attention

it doesn't take any special effort
to call attention
as easy as ringing a bell
but hard to remember to ring it

While building the travel frames that will carry my large expansion-series artworks to NYC next week, works that will be installed for a show in a new gallery; I have been spending a lot of quality time with my 18V, NiCd, 2-speed, LED, keyless chuck, reversible drill.
