Nothing You Ever Do Is Collected In One Moment (A Two Worlds Collide Remix)

Perfection can be found over time when you follow your instincts….

Two worlds collide

Something other than remaining…

I often wonder when a work of art is finished. What defines a piece as being complete; needing no further creative intervention on the part of the artist? Perhaps nothing (completion) is ever collected in one moment. If as artists, we seek to embrace the process, then it is possible that perfection is truly the antithesis to what we hope to accomplish; the creation of great art, the connection with self, and the freedom to allow instinct to govern.

Instinct is a mystery. It has no ending. No point at which it is defined.

When I create a work of art, I first view it as a part of a whole. That whole being one that is infinite.

 – A life time of creating.

That which is the part of a whole, only serves to contribute to a never-ending journey; the idea of nurturing the creative instinct that lies within the realm of the visceral. While at times abandoning conscious decision-making.

Sometimes it serves us well to know that the perfection that is born of one’s decision, is not the perfection that is found over time …

In the end trust in the mystery….

A Spark Of Life Revealing Itself

The patterned floor of my imagination led me to the light…

Moving towards the light from places unknown

like a maze

 – it felt

when i walked

toward myself

and

into the light

across the street
their memories abandoned
the years in view
slipping away
fading to and fro
weathered by the storms
and dreams
long since gone

A Post Written With Random Thoughts

Sometimes a post is worth less than a thousand words….

A random image for random thoughts

It is a struggle sometimes to keep up with the pace of life. Better to find a moment of peace. I often think about things too much. For too long. Finding only temporary distraction when I am far too busy. Doing almost nothing of any true importance. Like discovering an insignificant place in time. Is it me, I seek to know? Or a vision of something that holds me captive? It is, perhaps (on a good day) all about waking to the dream that belongs to someone else. Feeling something. Something amiss in my own interpretation. Somewhere in the lost-not-found.

And then…

Feeling a strong sense of delight. In awe. The things inescapable. Like the beauty of a rising sun, an intrepid step, or a moon-filled night.

Then there is of course the consequence of not following the plan. Any plan. Failing to listen to destiny. My destiny.

And now…

It feels like I’ve just begun to say something….

The Waking Dream That Brings Such Beautiful Light

Sometimes it only takes a moment to feel a dream has something to say….

The waking dream in the morning light

a soft moment …

of transition

– sleeping in slumber

– waking in peace

an ethereal awareness

here

now

– in the present moment

centered

in an intuitive way

 – to life

 – to meaning

a very dreaming day …


The Dream Struggling To Complete Itself (A Waking Dream Remix)

Sometimes a dream no longer has words to say….

The darkest of dreams shed some light

It only takes a moment

– to know

a dream has nothing more to say….


When A Waking Dream Can No Longer Speak In Words

The moment I awoke I knew the dream would end in silence…

Sometimes in the waking a dream can no longer speak

the dream awoke …

with a stutter and a stir

it tried to find

in my mind

words to complete

a story unfolding

– boldly

in slumber

in death

a sleep with an end

and a dream

– with words

unable to speak …

 – a dream struggling to complete itself

Images For Android Phones: A Light Inside My Dream - A Shadow Inside My Mind

the film reel shatters
tape askew-ed
my shadow collects
– the remains

and now…

inside the movie
of my mind
an ending light
so hard to find

and then…

in the
– dark
a light
that fades

as the credits roll
– in bliss-full
disdain

the film ends
no longer a starring role
outside my window
the darkness
is collecting its toll

are you there
feeling it’s unfair
– our lost
you have to bare

sitting there
– with empty seats
and
ending dreams

no starring role

here
just the things
we sometimes fear…

Images For Android Phones: A Light At The End Of The Hallway

the film rolls
in secrets
with shadows
taking their toll

a light
with no day
in dark corners
in which to play

alone
– afraid
stoned

at the end
of the hallway

Heading north from downtown Greenville on the Swamp Rabbit Trail. The SRT is an old railroad line. Now a crossway trail for bikes, runners etc. Here I am approaching The clock tower at Furman University with Paris Mountain in the background (a great place for mountain biking). At this point I am about 8 miles north of downtown Greenville.
