Invitation
an exceedingly scheduled day
opens with bluster, wind, and chill,
a quarter moon,
a brisk walk in first light;
surprises me
with a pocket of unschedule
even as i write and review
minutely calibrated timelines,
perform concrete tasks
in focused forward fashion;
invites me—
unplanned unlisted unexpected—
into my studio,
where i unmind,
embody, let
an ink-filled pipette pull
willy nilly marks
and loops
with whisper friction on paper,
meandering,
moment
to moment
8 x 8″; acrylic and ink on paper
journal exploration

YES to finding moments when least expected on a crazily busy day!
Thanks, MaryAnn, for your nod to my way with words and willy nilly lines—both, today, came from an urge to make space to experiment. I want to return to trying my hand at writing poetry, something I haven’t done with any frequency for a long long long time, and to get back into my studio with more frequency. Today’s post honors both of those intentions : )
Simone, thank you! This post marks the pull I feel to widen the lens of my creative practice to include the exploration of writing poetry in a more focused way than previously.
