You cannot see a floater

You cannot see a floater
nor a star
by looking at it
must let it
find your edges

To knead, to soften, to enlarge
Is a project extending beyond a generation

a picture-infested world

I’m living in a picture-infested world. Usually not even recognizing them as pictures.

Some pictures start as events, then quickly become morphing memories; others start as an invention, often from mixing memories.

Stories flow from pictures. Stories are critters we are less apt to recognize for their origins and nature.

We have mini-stories we carry around with us: metaphors. These swarm about us, enwrapping body, soul, and mind.

Do we see anymore? Curious, could we?

express your truest self?

How do you express your truest self when you are in that place? Song, journaling, poetry, dance, painting, art, something entirely else?

Footprints in the Windsm # 1642–milkshake minutes

Footprints in the Windsm # 1642

less time as we get older
the father the mother
with their work
less than the tots
with blocks and dolls
my grandchildren
became teens
day long visits?
no, now barely
milkshake minutes
my sons even less
