To live is so startling
it leaves little time
for anything else.

English Bay Park — Image by kenne
Tankers in the bay
waiting their turn.
Joggers running by
the rocky shoreline.
Conversations fill the air
forming a white noise curtain.
The warm rays of the sun
poised with the cool breeze.
Mountains in the distance
creating the bay’s mouth.
Shadows growing longer
stretching over the ground.
Setting on the bench
casting a muse in the park.
The silence of solitude
interacting with the environment.
Creating a mood
of shared inspiration.

English Bay – North Side of Stanley Park
Embracing the Extremities of the Sacred and Profane
Like most journeys, our trip to Seattle, Lummi Island and Vancouver was a source of much inspiration, both sacred and profane. If art is something that can be admired in its own right, then all human creations are works of art. Both the artist and the observer share the inspiration, a duende resulting in a collaborative incarnate experience.
Whether the choreographed fish throwing of fishmongers at Pike Place Fish Market in Seattle; the enigmatic bronze figures in Ann Morris’ Sculpture Woods on Lummi Island; the poetry Lisa and Mike’s wedding ceremony; the southern shore skyline of Vancouver; or the many stone statues left by stone stackers adorning the English Bay shoreline.
Additional words and images will be forthcoming.
