Writing, painting, drawing are how this work breathes. It is the hand’s way of knowing when words fall silent.

In a poetic voice

Sketches and Colours

I say, you say…
What do we say?
From the end to the beginning, read backward:
“Heart my in you hold I”
Heart… center, life and light… “I hold you in my light”
My… Oh my, Oh mine, mine of gold, Gold of God
In… In(side) in(deed)
in(love)
You… oh you, the U of a cup, cup to my lips, lips of desire
Hold… hold tight, hold on, wait,
wait amidst the Saints,
string of friends
I… did not know
Be still
and know.
