Desert Landscape — Arrangement In Gray and Black Leave a comment
Desert Landscape — Arrangement In Gray and Black by kenne
“When at last, in all my storms, my whole self speaks,
then there is a pause. The soul collects itself into pure
silence and isolation—perhaps after much pain. The
mind suspends its knowledge and waits. The psyche
becomes strangely still.”
— from Fantasia of the Unconscious by D. H. Lawrence

Love Should Manifest Itself . . . 2 comments
Yellow Cactus Blossoms — Tiled Gallery by kenne
Suffering occurs when we want
other people to love us in the way
that we imagine we want to be loved,
and not in the way that love should manifest itself
— free and untrammeled,
guiding us with its force and driving us on.

Flower Associations Leave a comment
Cactus Flower — Photo-Artistry by kenne
Everyone has many associations with a flower —
the idea of flowers. You put out your hand to touch
the flower — lean forward to smell it — maybe
touch it with your lips almost without thinking —
or give it to someone to please them.
Still — in a way — nobody sees a flower —
really — it is so small . . .
So I said to myself — I’ll paint what I see —
what the flower is to me but I’ll paint it big and
they will be surprised into taking time to look at it —
I will make even busy New Yorkers take time
to see what I see of flowers.
— Georgia O’Keeffe
