Lift Off

Lifting off from what and to go where?

Papiers Colles with ink (6" x 4")

Indeed suspension keeps us going but will we know when we get there?

Planes of Green, nos. 1 & 2

Movement unbounded; trees fly across the universe in a rush to get where they should be.

Choose your mode of transport.

 

Skateboard or ladder?

Refugees

Mass movements in trickles or torrents; it is a perilous journey. Taking only what can be carried, the way is fraught with crises and the possibilities of crises within catastrophe.

"... in front of us and behind us, above our heads, on our right, on our left, below our feet and every other side to which we are exposed..."

Canaries - in Greece

Heard all over those Cycladic islands, they are in cages hung out to air on high walls like so much laundry. And like so much laundry they are returned to the house when the sun sets.

Sweetly singing little yellow fluff balls -- joyous creatures thrilling to the day --

a day of streaming light, blue sky, blue sea, blue frames on doors and windows.

Early morning

Meditation. An act of creation. Early morning meditations flow downward, flow upward and flow from the side. They move in all directions.

 

A migration to the day.

Taking Flight

Hollow bones are needed. Feathers too, lightweight but strong. Feathers conditioned with daily grooming. The preening of plumage to and fro in frenzied but orderly motions takes on such importance. For what purpose do these daily duties prepare them?

Taking flight to other climates, other springs, they return to us.
