Home alone on a Saturday night

Got caught in thought space today. Ideas galore, activities here and there, actions minimal, lots of standing around watching not enough touching. Like the guy with a crush on a girl but never says anything. So I took a step outside thought space. And found gravity. Twenty minutes of movement

Listening or dancing?

Swimming or floating? Walking or standing still? Pissed off or laughing? Opposites give each other meaning. The listener’s ear hairs swing to the beat. And the dancer moves to the sound. Going through life floating down the stream. Or swimming along with events. My Mum used to teach swimming

Creating dangerously

The artist connects heaven and Earth. Brings together opposing forces. Shines light on dark areas and throws shade on areas shining too bright. Puts their neck on the line, disagreeing with many at the cost of sharing their point of view. It is the role of the artist to create
