Little free library

A 56 ford 

Rests after driving 

The full/fall moon on

Handfuls of cheerios and waking 

Dreams pulling them onward 

She stands with good earth under foot

Wanting for nothing,  the message of God 

Meant for her,

She hesitates to communicate to grand offspring yet to be

Before she sleeps and everything is wiped new

Yawning and signaling that it is possessed 

She let's her eyes go towards fatigue 

Longing for the rejoining with the current of the Neverending now,  she questions whether she included the entirety of the 56 ford.  


Unedited :

A 56 ford rests after driving with the full moon.
With only  handfuls of cheerios and dreams pulling them onward, she stands with good earth under her feat.
A story is waiting around the corner. 
Wanting for nothing,
the message of God,
that is meant for her, 
she hesitates to communicate to
grand offspring yet to be,
before sleep overtakes her, 
and everything is wiped new

Yawning and signaling that it is possessed, she rests her eyes, let's go,

Letting fatigue, longing for the  rejoining with the current of the Neverending now,  she questions whether she included the entirety of the 56 ford,

Little free library

Lyons waiting for the pump remember a

Perfect moment of tremendous speed across water 

Caught in thinning hair, smokey mustache whiskers, 

Loose collars, trailing out a testament to

 tears that are acceptable to the machinists

 weekend witnessed by the cream coveralls 

Attending to giant chess pieces pumping. 






Unedited :

Waiting for the pump
The sun hits the shiny skin
She remembers a perfect moment
He thinks of his boat
The white dress shirt is unbuttoned to catch the speed
The wind tugging  his thinning hair
Salty seasoned tears streaming down the  sides of his face.
The mustache whiskers catch the smoke that trails out a testament to the tremendous speed that man can travel across water.  
the attendant in cream overalls waves him next.
We both wonder when the last time we will see these kinds of pump.
They watch the car  leaving and wonder when the last time they'll see that kind of car together.
We pass each other.
we agree that you can tell a lot about a person by their vehicles.

The picnic


Thinking back to Green grass silhouette
Panting puppy punished for defiantly chasing squirrels. 
Waiting in the shadowed woods on mossy picknick tables. 
The stash of empty beer cans is found after retrieving the retriever. 
The owners return shirtless,  happy,  and ready to return to their regular week of poverty and depression. 
You on your computer or with your books sitting next to me and you couldn't be any further away.

Stuck in an eye

Who am eye?
And why am eye here?
Stuck in an I,  eye wait in silence,   shouting between the marks that cover emptiness. 
Eye see you everywhere and in everything. 
Do you see my face everywhere as well?

Making art in the forest

I've always enjoyed interacting with nature and using disorder to create something that is pleasing to my eyes.  Often I'm not choosing to record the moment because what's enjoyable is the act of creation and not in the final product.  This was a a piece of bark that had fallen down.  I saw an image in this decaying material and wanted to bring it out from hiding.  I hung it on the trail for others to hopefully find.

Travels with sesame

I'm interested in an object that is similar in its combination of small items that make a whole image but captured in only in one  moment. 

There are great moments of beauty in creating when you're totally immersed in the moment.  

The impermanence of anything made on a beach creates a great awareness of the effects of time regularly apart of our lives.  The work has to be finished before the next act of nature or person comes and modifies back to a resting state of natural disorder.  

Smiling is an extremely important experience for my mind to be at peace.  There is something soothing and therapeutic for me when I smile. Also moving heavy rocks to create something physical with my body is also quite good for my mind.  This image of a happy smiling face speaks deeply to me.  There is something very enjoyable about using my entire body to create something spiritual important to me been on the road for a month and I've not posted anything.  I have still been busy making something every day.  I've had to redefine my thoughts on family, friends, and what it's like to have a home.  The paper work reminds me of another time and my whole goal is to stay as present as possible. I'm really excited about making things that are impermanent. People have always been drawn to the water and it's an incredibly awesome experience to stand in front of such great power.  Money has become a replacement for power, but nothing is greater or more powerful than something as large as a great lake.  Something that within itself can turn concrete blocks into sand again. 
In making this representation of happiness,  I felt it important to point out the relationship between what is man made and what is naturally occurring.  Even in this connection,  there can be beauty.  It's completely in perspective.

Spontaneous creations

This image was drawn almost completely without a concept of what was being created.  After the image was almost completely completed upside down I rotated it to gain access to the lower portion of the image, a samurai had appeared.  It's a wonderful feeling to experience something greater and more creative than I could possibly conceive come through me.  I'm not sure if I should have presented this image from the perspective that I originally drew it,  but decided to present it from the perspective from when I first witness the wonder of spontaneous creation.

Originality

In the attempt to work completely in the moment, it seems common to forget the original creative inspiration. 
I feel conflicted in using an image that is possible to duplicate.  Overcoming the misconception that there is anything original is difficult especially when I'm continually trying to create something where each line, each movement, and every decision is as spontaneous and free as possible.

Spontaneous decisions

The world is incredible when you don't know what to expect.  While carrots are a regular part of my life, I'd never taken the time before to draw them before.  They are now consumed and gone.  It's amazing how the briefest connections between 2 things can be so important and so easily overlooked.  In this state of openness is where the whales live and the birds converse in DISNEY land.  Everything is already spoken in a brush stoke or the life of a carrots and that is why it's so incredible to witness the birth of these creations.  By following where the paint chooses to go,  I get to witness amazingly entertaining things. 

Sections.

Today I was able to touch and contribute to a good majority of my work.  It feels great to feel life being represented and expressed through my hands.  This is the feeling of joy.  Creating and creation are incredible things to be apart of.
