a grid
a map
a way to describe
a grid
a map
a way to describe
to the
experienced
a home
a wilderness
vast, unknowable
a way to be
in the landscape
to organize somehow
that which we are puzzled by
booked in a map of pages and thoughts
tell someone
sewn together in
patchwork of
plant land soil mineral
materiality
place: here there where
where?
ReplyDeletein you
in the poetry
of your heart eye hand mind.
so beautiful.
a thanks
jude also has an interesting post on her blog today - about home, dreaming and no internet...must be the cold bringing us in to the nurturing warmth of containment - home, dreams, touch of the materiality of objects that feel comforting in the hand...reconstruction of a past replaced by technology. i started reading something this morning that went something like - technology is the new media...maybe so but i still want to hold and feel my place. off to dream and think a bit too. xox
ReplyDeletem & h, i am so homebound this weekend, by weather, by nature, by choice. it's got me thinking, and mapping how i think.
ReplyDeleteMapping... I like that. And lines of light through old barn board - a different kind of map - time - mapping decay.
ReplyDeletebeautiful, thought provoking

but we don't know

all within
where are we?
ReplyDeleteanything that speaks of place speaks to me...
ReplyDeletejourneys, places, marks, traces - they're all there and maps help us find our place in the world. A lovely visual wander with you.
ReplyDeletewhere we've been and where to go from where we are.
ReplyDeleteYou are such an inspiration, Velma.
ReplyDeleteI need to map my thoughts more.
