Shiprock, I’ll be seeing you soon…
The Dreamer
"The girl dreams she is dangerously ill. Suddenly birds come out of her skin and cover her completely... swarms of gnats obscure the sun, the moon, and all the stars except one. That one star falls upon the dreamer."
—Carl Jung
You are my inspiration and my folly.
You are my light across the sea, my million nameless joys, and my day’s wage.
You are my divinity, my madness, my selfishness, my transfiguration and purification.
You are my rapscallionly fellow vagabond, my tempter and star.
I want you.
—George Bernard Shaw
A New Space
Setting up a studio space before knowing what I shall do in here. Follow the mystery~
Wherever I am, the world comes after me. It offers me its busyness. It does not believe that I do not want it. Now I understand why the old poets of China went so far and high into the mountains, then crept into the pale mist.
—Mary Oliver
And I asked myself about the present: how wide it was, how deep it was, how much was mine to keep.
—Kurt Vonnegut
Growing an Olive Tree
I love this little dear until my heart feels like it might burst.
Encircled
Sort of how the land wraps around your soul—
I have been trying for a very long time to live here. Life is not ready to let me go. So I walk through each day until I am free.
It was all so far away—there was quiet and an untouched feel to the country and I could work as I pleased.
—Georgia O’Keeffe
In the American Southwest, I began a lifelong love affair with a pile of rock.
—Ed Abbey
