the work that works for you

seeds

untroubled

a little bit of something

solitude

reflection

work

transcending

messes

what marks you

beyond what we can say

it starts with curiosity

meant to make things

what does art ask of me?

maybe we still can

different things

the second gap

courting chance and randomness

weird things

effortful effortlessness

floating

between flipping and flopping

the scattering

reckoning

believe in bigger things

poetry and surgery

breaking away

language

faithfulness in the climbing

art by factors

proof

sketching

beyond belief

play

the irreversibility

life is suffering, art doesn't have to be

it's always been a dance

the worst thing

the strangeness in everything

it starts with honesty

a wholeness made of broken beings

something like magic

everything shimmers

a still small voice

suffering

breaking things

a creative life

that feeling

what it's for

return

words

alone together

craftspeople

something new

where things get interesting

inviting the concept

...how are you...

what you thought it would be

road to nowhere

the billowing

remain

tales as tall as giants

softer tides

when longing dies...

the spirit pathway

words can reforge us

when things fall out

the trouble with dreaming

relish your apartness

joy, wonder, mystery

can't touch the bottom

unexpected things

everything is temporary

neither this nor that

all our truths

this is what gratitude is

wake up to the world

look at this

I am this breathing

holding a shadow

like you mean it

the soul

talking to myself

you forget

you're the reason

real art

I know you know

this beautiful mess

beyond and beneath

future vanishes

say what you want

haunted

we're not supposed to talk about it

Make mistakes...

all this time

at the edge

losing touch

Ten pages...

don't ask...

Starting, restarting and making a mark...

woes me...

Your are poetry...

The best we can do...
