Down Deep Inside

"Feels like I'm traveling in my own skin."  - a line I misheard - like I sometimes do - probably due to the fact that I would like the world to be more poetical


the concept of a journey within sounds intriguing nevertheless

Sacrifice

to change the dynamics

would you offer up your own personal happiness and is therein happiness to be gained

full of merry quips

Measure for Measure

or the human scale

by which to judge

proportionate

Logic and Reason

Out of  a bogus situation anything might be deduced


the cold light of circumstance

To the Point

or reach out II

Why should we rate each other, when we might behold and appreciate and listen to one another

Indeed it's a no-go

get over it

Reach Out

content and context having a ball


while all the blanks are desperate to be filled by the beholder

two girls on the beach

Splendour

When we toil we are beautiful.


Never mind the only slightly veiled envy of the unskillful.

Perspectives

Kneel you proud animal, but out of your pretty own volition.

Relaxed

listening to the music and sometimes getting the words quite wrong


and then realising that what intrigue was there slightly vanishes because the correct words and therefore the meaning are too ordinary

No Way

Set forth just trusting the gut feeling, never knowing the shape or form, or outcome.

adventure

Simple and Complex

give or take

The truth tends to be quite simple, but its bearing is complex.

Blue

the rare and deeply felt beauty in mournfulness




"Sticks a greenback to my fretboard
Skates a junkie through my brain
Make a quick delivery
Never coming back again..."

Hinterland

my affection for this culture, so seemingly different, yet it is all that has ever affected me

only later I would realise that here I was truly native, as you send out your missionaries who impressed me so much

Something to Look At

and I could do it for hours not tiring one moment

a presence full of possibility, full of adventure and excitement

a continous becoming

unvordenklich unpreconceived

thus conception itself

Pray You

She had always been a slight nuisance softly hitting and pinching me on every encounter, and me not being able to counter her attack, though or maybe just because I was a grown woman and she but a little girl. And yet I hold her very dear.

dear o dear

Catapult

the daydream

the strength to wonder

the courage to meet the challenge

unequivocal

the tiny bird flying through the chain link fence

Der Gestürzte / The Toppled

The left hand of Wilhelm Lehmbruck's statue of a fallen man holding on, reaching out to nothing.

Capture

with the right mixture of looseness and body tension released at the crucial moment.


triggered by the eye - photography


triggered by the hand - drawing

Focal Point

or The Tragedy of the Popular Artist

It's quite essential to be able to observe people somewhat from the sidelines as an artist, but how to manage this when oneself is always the focus.

Trust

You may quite literally show all your (self-inflicted) wounds.






(In fact it's always nice when people do for the trust must be double, first that one won't tell and then that one won't stir it.)

Progress

When longing grows into love.

When the object turns into a person, a self.

fundamental

On A Whim

it always comes to me, just follow it through

Life

Deliberate (?) Misconceptions

to equal freedom with independence

when man is a social animal

when Montaigne says that a true friend should be grateful to his friend for being able to help him - and even express this

when there is this elderly monk who tells with glee that he is looking forward to his final second

Either Or

either by force or by effort

in all your might

one may also work for it

Cross

When asked why I wanted to take a cross country ski course or rather what I was interesetd in learning, I replied - and this is true - that I was interested in learning how to brake. Everybody present was laughing, but then the instructor had to admit that this actually was the most important thing.

Confronting

I got this deep urge, am daydreaming about bowing down deeply, not because I have to but because  I'd love to.


twinkel in your eyes

your mischievous glint

Liberty

Loving the fact that everybody is fallible, especially oneself.


Live and learn and deal with others better.

Translucent

And who looks at the two occasions sees the one shining through the other. - Charles Péguy

Confrontation

the moment when I imagine to lose my countenance


by way of that gentle confrontation my father dealt me
I was mad at him and he just called my name and I had to smile - nolens volens - which sort of made me also mad at him and me again.

Reflecting Relation

relate embarrassment

embarrassed relation


rejoice the perceptive perception
