Glimpses of life moving through us
One could discuss everything technically “wrong” with this photograph: Shot through a, not all that clean, double pane window; and a screen. Out of focus foreground objects partially blocking the subject. Perhaps too high an ISO. Severe Crop. Yet something also feels very “right,” or at least “natural,” too. We really do only catch brief glimpses of life as we muck around in it… or as it moves through us. And these brief glimpses rarely come to us in sharp focus and high definition.

Robin, Shamrock, Fresh, Warm, Bread …
Surely a poem can be found
between and around those words,
in the morning, in the spring time,
if I look long, listen, and smell softly.

Traces…
…both startling and subtle

First friday flower appears…
…in the yard
as snow flakes
fall through spring
and food from the kiln

On the way home…
…with Friday evening’s seafood chowder and broccoli; to go with the fish and baked potato.

A very subtle process…
this collecting, arranging and waiting.
Why would anyone pickup a couple of skeletal seed pods?
Because they whispered something to me
in that moment.
They sat around the office/studio for weeks.
A few other objects were gathered around them.
They got lost. Because they’re so light. They’d just blow away.
Then found. Waiting. I think. To be embedded in encaustic medium.
Then last evening, after completing
Encaustic Painting No. 3, Life layered over our years…
Leica M, 60 mm Macro Elmarit-R
the low, setting sun light flowed through the West window
whispering in harmony with the whispering seed pods
as they wait for their final rest.
