The Sunrise From Inside (A New Inner Vibrancy Remix)

At the start of a new day, the world inside … alive with promise.

A Lingering Sadness

The thought that you are no longer here … leaves me with a lingering sadness.

To You

it was warm with feeling
the celebration of your passing;
– fluid
with the colors of love

For You

an evolving mystery
with piercing perspectives
and perplexed frailty

a continuum without end

now we are all dreaming
with the starlight in our eyes
on your final day
for you

And You

in my reflective tranquility
a subtle moment
a life and breath away

With You

here in our memories
forever with you
the light we shared

Remembering You

the beauty in you
can now only move us to tears
in the lost we deeply feel

This work and poem of remembrance is dedicated to my sister-in-law who passed away yesterday. We love you Zina … deeply.

Weekly Photo Challenge: My 2012 in Pictures | Art

This week’s photo challenge is coming to an end. I thought I would include a few more images I created in 2012.

Post Canvas and Paint: Variations | We Can’t Sleep in Complete Darkness all the Time | With Mark Rothko

If there is something to be discovered, it is here in the waking. Seeing things as they really are. Leaving the objects of reality behind. And realizing we can’t sleep in complete darkness all the time.

“I think of my pictures as dramas, the shapes in the pictures are the performers. They have been created from the need for a group of actors who are to move dramatically without embarrassment and execute gestures without shame.” ~ Mark Rothko

This is definitely my last post of 2012 🙂
Peace and Light my friends.

Post Canvas and Paint: Variations | When Fainting with Mark Rothko

A searing moment. Trying to define what has occurred. You saw the painting and felt something awaken. Now it fades as you faint into the light. And only a dream awaits.

“The most important tool for the artist fashions through constant practice is faith in his ability to produce miracles when they are needed. Pictures must be miraculous: the instant one is completed, the intimacy between the creation and the creator is ended. He is an outsider. The picture must be for him, as for anyone experiencing it later, a revelation, an unexpected and unprecedented resolution of an eternally familiar need.” ~ Mark Rothko

This will be my last posting of 2012 (US Eastern time zone). See you … in your thoughts, in 2013.
