Reflections and notes on the relationship of art to nature and of nature to art from along Warwoman Creek, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Katuah Province of Turtle Island, where the light, the dark, the seasons, the time of deep past, deep present and deep future all mix in alchemal mists to reveal and hide and transform these slopes, shaded coves, bright rivers, deep forests and me, and together sustain me and my art.

AT THE SPRING

Winter Bud, w.c. 2019

                                                    AT THE SPRING

                                                      At the end
                                                      of every branch
                                                      now a fisted bud
                                                      of everything
                                                      that might be                                                  
                                                      coiled, wrapped
                                                      a knot
                                                      we too
                                                      or something within
                                                      us, deep and clinched
                                                      the grip
                                                      of things to come
                                                      to pass and even
                                                      to end once more
                                                      again.
