Stunning Debut
You’ve gotta love it! Sometimes the way
morning sun hits the chimney stone requires
few words. The beauty of the thing saves
us from its fleeting devastation. Each
“reading “of the moment, another
layer of awakening. Understanding.
Simple. Profound. Challenging.
I cannot recommend more highly
this gorgeous interplay of what’s shown,
then hidden, moving, moody, pitch-perfect,
capture of the anguish, the joy of
what’s seen and unseen. Look again and you
pick up something new.
The power of changing light is in how
It…well…maybe this is obvious…but in
how it illuminates, feeds compassion
for all the hard-soft edges
Brown County Stone, dust under
Chairs, yesterday’s coffee cup scum-
Beauty in the messiness and discovery,
sleeping dogs, Adrenal-fueled mouse,
the glint of the earring
you thought was lost forever, there
against the wall next to the firebox.
