studio wellspring: all my life's a circle

all my life's a circle

"birds make great sky-circles of their freedom.

how do they learn it?

they fall

and falling,

they're given wings."

Relyn Lawson said...: Yeah! Thanks for sharing. I loved meeting this new artist. Talk about transience and impermanence. I love the idea of leaving beauty behind for whoever happens on it. Just walking away and letting go of the need to control outcomes and perceptions.

Well! I guess this artist and the words you choose spoke to me even more than I realized. Thanks. Really – thanks. I think I’ll go do a little thinking with pen and paper. You have my wheels really turning.; 5:25 PM
studio wellspring said...: yes, relyn, jim's work is so evocative. and it really represents where i'm at with my life right now. letting go of needs & control & expectation & even hope & fear is a liberating process {albeit difficult at times}and i find myself continually being reminded of the necesity of doing so. please feel free to share your pen-&-paper thoughts any time. :o); 9:11 AM

paris parfait said...: Gorgeous photo and a perfect quote to match. Once in a while we need to remind ourselves that as painful as it may be to fall, not attempting to fly would be much worse.; 10:33 AM
