Primordia Is Now
Ever Think Of Yourself As "Primordial Ooze"?..........You Are............Just Think About It..................You
Are The Stuff From Which Other Stuff Will Spring...........Primordia Is Now..................Always Will Be
Neo Expressionism--The Feral Image The Imperative Of Any Artist Is To Give
Through Creation To Create A Better World, Thus A Finer Universe(S)
To Leave This Place, This World, This Universe(S) More Than Was Received
Do It With The Passion Of Necessity
Do It Now
--Lead The Way--
Lyrical Abstraction? Neo Expressionism? Natural Logic?
Somewhere Out There............Within The Vastness Of All..................Life, Cells, Formed
Before Such Was Even A Thought On This Planet.............And Somewhere Out There, In The Vastness Of All, Such Is Yet To
Occur
It's Only Paint.............Or Metal............Or Glass, Clay, Paper...........Whatever......An
Artifact....Of Limited Duration And Purpose.........Behind It However..................The Wealth Of Infinite And Evolving
Idea
Colors Clash, As Do Harmonies And Form And The Silence Of Sound And The Unseen.........Thus...........Creating............A
Symphony Of Idea...................Pure..........By Intention And Device....................Free...........By Choice
Post Contemporary -- Art Of The Future
By The Time You Finish Reading This Short Graph, Seventeen(17) Persons In This World Will Have
Died Of Hunger Or Hunger Related Causes
Hunger Deaths On This Planet
24,000 Per Day
1,000 Per Hour
17 Per Minute
Do You Give A Shit?
By The Way
Over One Billion People In The World Are Obese
61 Percent Of U.S. Adults Are Either Overweight Or Obese
Really, Do You?
Contemporary Painting--Abstraction One Hopes It All Is Not Just A Dream
A Dream Of Peace
And Kindness
Spirit............And Wonder
A Dream Of Unconditional Vision
Harmony
Wisdom, And Yes, Love
Didn't Know That Bodies Of Orca In Puget Sound Are Treated As Toxic Waste(Watch Too Much TV)..............Wonder..................If
Our Nearest Planetary Neighbors' Visited Us, Would They View Our Entire Planet As Toxic Waste?
Paddling Down The River Yesterday Afternoon(Could Be Any Yesterday).........Water Turkey Soared
Overhead, Displaying Its' Very Unique Profile In Silhouette Form, Gliding With Peace And Ease On Unseen Currents.............As
Was I, Totally Immersed In Everything But My Own Unique Identity
--Life On The River
There Is A Singular Consciousness "Running Through" Everything...........All.......That Is
Nature............Any Species Which Attempts To Separate Itself From That Consciousness Separates Itself From Life Itself
Reflections On The Eve Of Circumstance...........Decisions, Choice, Choices, Options.......Vision........Visions...The
Absurdity Of Blind Ignorance.......Or The Passions Of Thought Directed By Reason
The Gates Are Open Now............Nothing But Open Expanse And Clear Horizons........Moving
Freely And At Ease.................There Can Be No Barriers To Pure Thought.........Only Freedom.............Only Freedom
Over 10,000 Square Miles(Size Of Massachusetts) Of Amazon Rain Forest Were Destroyed In 2004............Seems
The President Of Brazil Is Reportedly A Large Soybean Farmer.............There's A Syllogism In Here Somewhere.................Question(Actually
Fact, But I'm Being Nice) Is..............Is Present And Future Genocide Being Committed In The Pure Interest Of Greed, Profit
And "Power"?
She's Cookin' Now...............Nature, That Is...........Fueling The Fires Beneath That Vast Cauldron..................Steam Starts To Rise, A Few Bubbles, Over The Soup Of The Ages.......She Is Undeterred, Unrelenting In Her Constant Search For The Ultimate Recipe, Knowing, All Along, That Such Is Not Possible.............But She Does It Anyway, For That Is The Wonder Of Knowledge And Conscious Exploration.............A Dash Of This, A Drop Of That, Take This Out, Add This, Try This Once More.............Nope, Doesn't Work.........Throw It Out.................Try This............Ah, Yes, That Fits Nicely.............Oh, Yes, Then There Is Always Chance Derived Of Chaos............Some Of Her Greatest Discoveries....................Isn't It Nice To Have Infinity To Work With?..........Nothing But Time "To Get It Right" Even If The Artist Is The Only Person On Earth To "See" A Particular Piece Of Finished Work,
Energy Of Thought Found Within That Work(If Indeed, It Is Of A Truly Creative Nature) Will Find Its Way Into The Collective
Unconscious-Conscious(Nature)
Nature Has Infinity, Forever, To Work With..............Do We?
Perhaps We Have Been Looking "In All The Wrong Places".............Perhaps We Should Turn Hubble Back On Ourselves...........Perhaps We Should Take Another, Closer Look At Earth And Its' Denizens Through A Fresh Lens
A Single Line...........A Point(O.K. Kandinsky, I Hear You)...............A Color.............Has........The
Power To Move........To Change Lives........And, More Importantly, To Change Thought
From What, Or Which, Will The New Species Arise?
The Planet, As We Know It
Is Dying
And We Do Nothing
But Talk
Consume
And Talk Some More
Cry For The Destiny
That You Have Left Yourself
Cry
For The Animals
The Plants
The Innocent
And So Life Continues On This Little Planet, At This Particular Moment In This Particular Dimension……..Creating…….Developing...Nice To Think The Same Thing Is Happening In Myriad Places And Forms Throughout This Universe(S)………….Nice To Think That We ALL Are Working Together In This Unseen, Unknown Dialogue……….Nice To Think There Are Other Creatures Out There Far Greater Than I In Development And Evolution Working Toward The Same Thing……………………Nice To Think This Is A Symbiotic Dialogue……..Nice To Think That No Matter How Dire Or Horrid Things Appear Or Seem, There ARE Creatures Out There Moving In A More Mellifluous And Meaningful Direction………………Nice To Think That While I Have Not Met Many Of These Species, I Will Through The Pure Energy Of Thought……………..Nice To Think That This(Our Planet) Will Be A Grand Place………..Nice To Think That Extravagant Harmonious Intent Will Prevail DoDa Primordia……………..If There Was A Theme This Month, That Was It………Imagery Is Permeated With It…………………As Well As Thought, Idea……………………Finally Moving Away From Sphere…………..(Too Conforming Presently)………Working With The Unformed, The Chaotic……….What One Cannot "See"……..But…….Perceive…..Often, The Work, As Well As The Days, Have Been "Brutal"………………Not In A Negative Sense Of Course………………But One Of A Very Incessant And Often Difficult "Question" With No Immediately Apparent Answer……………Many Days Ending In Total Physical And Emotional Exhaustion…………..New Juxtapositions Bring Their Own Excesses…..Coming…….From So Many Directions At The Same Time……………..Creating………………That Whirlwind Of Chaos And Confusion Upon Which I Seem To Thrive…………..(If One Had All The Answers, There Would Be No Reason)……………Not Certain Whether This Is A Branch, Or Part Of The Trunk, Of My Developmental Tree……………..But Most Certainly It Is A Necessity In My Ever Moving Stream Of Creative Process DoDa Fortunately, Short Daily Paddles Into The Swamp Maintain Something Of A Creative "Even Keel" In My Life……………Entering That Time Of Year When Swamp Is So Quiet, Almost In A Period Of Stasis Due To Temperature Extremes………………Gators Are Nesting Now, Females Staying Close To The Nest, Males Doing What Males Seem To Do, Ranging Far Off And Away………………May Flies Begin Their Periodic Summer Hatches, Creating Grey Living Sculptural Forms And Shapes On The Limbs And Brush Above The River’s Surface(To The Delight Of The Fish, And Things Which Eat The Fish And Things Which Eat The Things Which Eat The Fish, And So On, Ad Infinitum—Eco-Maxim No. 1)…….Haven’t Made It To The Coast Yet………So Wish To Paddle With The Porpoises, Visit With My Friends The Pelicans, Terns, Gulls, Etc……………..Feel The Waves………….Gain Energy From Their Moving Power……………Just Can’t Leave The Work…………Having A Delightfully Difficult Time Keeping Up With It And Its’ Development…………..The Connection Is There However………………One Doesn’t Necessarily Have To Be There To Experience It…..I Am Out There, With Them, At This Very Instant……………And They Are Here, With Me |
