Strokes

Random strokes

with a long flat brush
can become
ribbons of steel.

Interruption

An abstract painting

expressing the meaning of
"Interruption".

Unexplained Coincidences

Once again,
more recognizable figure rise
out of the abstract.

Three Black Snakes

You never know
what you'll find
in an abstract painting.
Is that a flaming slice of pizza
on the left?

Somewhere on Earth

grass sprouts, flowers bloom,
and trees burst into leaf.

Colors of Spring

Out of the gray damp of March

and into April. . .

the month of flowering forsythia,
daffodils, tulips, magnolias,
cherry, plum, and pear blossoms.

Cat Scratch Fever

No kidding,

there really is such a thing.

Cat Scratch Fever

but seriously. . .

The Book of Hope

I recommend listening to

 "The Book of Hope"
by 

Jane Goodall and Douglas Abrams.

The subtitle describes it well,

"A Survival Guide for Trying Times".

Crocus Magic

Not a literal rendering,

just the colors and energy
reminiscent
of the crocus flowers
that will soon be popping up

in our gardens and lawns.

Lotus Heart

"There's a drive to live

at the heart of things,

gotta drive a pipe into that spring.

Let it water everything

to keep the world we know."

Lyrics from

"To Keep the World We Know" 

on Bruce Cockburn's CD

"O Sun O Moon"

Lotus Heart Meditation

Beware the Ides

 

Idus Martiae,

winter weary mid-month

in an endlessly

chill damp spring.
