Outer space and Inner space

the other side of the reservoir - water color on paper18"x24"  

The image above is the painting I was working on when writing the last blog post.

Taken out on the back deck in natural sun light with a smart phone, a traditional transparent water color technique with multiple layers of pigment penetrating  the absorbent surface .

All of the light that the viewer sees is from the whiteness of the paper behind or underneath the paint.

A quality of the medium that has a particular appeal to the eye and a unique way of shaping the thought process- puzzling ability of the person working with it.

I was hoping to capture elements of what I saw and felt,

 walking in almost complete darkness away from the comet.

The Energy in the form of light -  had specific individual sources,

 the few visible planets miles distant,

 the stars light years away, 

the lightning bugs yards from the eyes,

 that receives the energy and perceives the differences, presences,

 individual character  qualities  without direct knowledge of location or subjects. 

Recognizing and appreciating kinship, the relationships between things as the natural and truthful way of things.

We are here to honor the Gods and not gods!

Kindred Spirits!

Beings of belonging

Presences  of connection

Like and likeness

Kind and kindness

Knowing witnesses sharing meanings through lives

This is our way of thanks

This is our way of respect

This is our way of joining together

This is our sustained invitation

 all that care about caring

 all that be in our being

all that see the light

all that enjoy the glow

above and below

large and small

now and then

companions

inside and out
