Because I am of this Earth,
I am rooted in direct
Tangible expression of it –
Hands touching the soil,
Fingers using implements to somehow translate
Experience of the natural into the symbolism of words
The flow of paint
The etching of pencil
The scattered shards of torn paper.
Moving in outer landscapes is the way
To remain in contact
With who we really are on the inner one.
We take our pain and sorrows,
excitement and successes,
frailty
courage
history
future
into the present moment of shared passions:
creativity and earthiness.
For me, these are inseparable…I cannot have one without the other.
