Moon Listening
Moon Listening— At West End Gallery
The day was when I did not keep myself in readiness for thee;
and entering my heart unbidden even as one of the common crowd,
unknown to me, my king, thou didst press the signet of eternity upon
many a fleeting moment of my life.
And today when by chance I light upon them and see thy signature,
I find they have lain scattered in the dust mixed with the memory…

Intermediary
The Welcome Tree–At the West End Gallery
Between two worlds life hovers like a star,
‘Twixt night and morn, upon the horizon’s verge.
How little do we know that which we are!
How less what we may be! The eternal surge
Of time and tide rolls on, and bears afar
Our bubbles; as the old burst, new emerge,
Lash’d from the foam of ages; while the graves
Of Empires heave but like some passing…

RedTree: Stand Tall
RedTree: Stand Tall— Coming to Principle Gallery, June
Give me a place to stand, and I will move the Earth.
– Archimedes
This quote is actually a condensed and long accepted version of the words of Archimedes. It was originally about the power of lever in physics. He actually said: Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand and I will move the Earth. But the lever has been dropped over the…

Trust Your Eyes
He knows all about art, but he doesn’t know what he likes.
–James Thurber
I am fully immersed in work for my June show at the Principle Gallery right now. I need to get to a large piece on the easel that is waiting for its final touches which has me chomping at the bit to get to work this morning. In the name of expediency, I would like to share a post from a few years back about trusting…

Fromm/Credo
GC Myers- Chaos & Light
I believe that the fundamental alternative for man is the choice between “life” and “death”; between creativity and destructive violence; between reality and illusions; between objectivity and intolerance; between brotherhood-independence and dominance-submission.
—Erich Fromm, Credo (1965)
The last couple of posts have dealt with personal creeds or statements of…

Child of the Sun
A New Cornucopia– At West End Gallery
By health I mean the power to live a full, adult, living, breathing life in close contact with what I love — the earth and the wonders thereof — the sea — the sun. All that we mean when we speak of the external world. A want to enter into it, to be part of it, to live in it, to learn from it, to lose all that is superficial and acquired in me and to become a…

Creed/ Everyday Gods
Passages: Toward Order — At Principle Gallery
Here’s my creed, against Benjamin’s. This is what I believe:
‘That I am I.’
‘That my soul is a dark forest.’
‘That my known self will never be more than a little clearing in the forest.’
‘That gods, strange gods, come forth from the forest into the clearing of my known self, and then go back.’
‘That I must have the courage to let them come and…

RedTree: Continuum
RedTree: Continuum— Coming to Principle Gallery, Alexandria, VA
In this dark and wounded society, writing can give you the pleasures of the woodpecker, of hollowing out a hole in a tree where you can build your own nest and say, “This is my niche, this is where I live now, this is where I belong.”
–Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life (1994)
My annual solo exhibit at…
