begin and end; evening's Stygian cloak and daylight's last vesting

from one way to another

i saw through

the forest hides these moments for us

oracle of water and stone

"RIVERSIDE: ARCADIAN 2016"
acrylic on cradled panel
places of my childhood

nature changes what is seen

a different state of mind can result

these are visual moments

gravity and light

the distance is the key

balance exists in nature

the forest edge burned bright

we all must walk a path

We all have a path to walk

there is purity still

stillness of a morning

we walked, I proposed, she agreed, we married

one short moment each day

there are natural ways

slow traversing

onward
