Ode in May,

May 1, 2014 · 1 Comment

“What is so sweet and dear
As a prosperous morn in May,
The confident prime of the day,
And the dauntless youth of the year,
When nothing that asks for bliss,
Asking aright, is denied,
And half of the world a bridegroom is,
And half of the world a bride?”

– William Watson, Ode in May, 1880

Don’t walk behind me; I may not lead. 
Don’t walk in front of me; 
I may not follow. 
Just walk beside me and be my friend.
~ Albert Camus

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
