Art and poetry to get lost in - Mixed Media on Canvas from Damien Kamholtz and a poem from Rumi. Thank you to Elise and Janet for sharing these with me.
Quietness
Inside this new love, die.
Your way begins on the other side.
Become the sky.
Take an axe to the prison wall.
Escape.
Walk out like somebody suddenly born into color.
Do it now.
You’re covered with thick cloud.
Slide out the side.
Die,
and be quiet. Quietness is the surest sign
that you’ve died.
Your old life was a frantic running
from silence.
The speechless full moon
comes out now.

Very lovely Chrisy. That art is astounding actually - so fresh and imaginative! Rumi is always good - I must hunt out some more!
Hope you doing OK and that you have settled into your new house. It's always such a delight when you put up a post - I and very possibly many others have missed them! XOXO's
What interesting artworks.
Lovely poem, I wish I could escape at the moment, or maybe fast forward a year. I love the line- walk out like somebody suddenly born into colour.
Hope you are well Chrisy.

oooh, these paintings are beautiful, and so inspiring. I love how the figures emerge from the mist of the white. Love them, thanks for sharing.
aw chrisy,this is eye candy of the best kind. i love the transparent look of the paintings, and the poem is a kick-up wake up call!
thanks for visiting me. i am going to try to come here more regularly. i wonder if most of us have a system for who get visited and when; i don't seem to!
love

that poem is sublime perfection...
Gorgeous artwork. I really love that white washed look. It's so ethereal.
Rumi is always great.
Escaping into the trees - quite often wish I could do just that - love the first one, especially...
very intense and inspiring artwork and words!
have you a fab weekend xxxx
Wow, I love those art pieces! My favourite is the third one down, it brings back good memories of my childhood tree climbing days.
Chrisy, so lovely to hear from you. Thank you so much for your beautiful message. It lifted my spirit.
Loved looking at the mixed media art of the children, this artist is really talented.
Hoping your having an amazing weekend! Lots of love!

these are incredible!!! wow.
Wow. I love that milky finish over the images themselves. It makes everything look sort of like the cover to Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury. Lovely.
these are great....there is something so intriguing about them that draws one in.
Wow, I enlarged each photo-- The artwork is so unusual and rich. Thanks for sharing.
Hope all is well with you. Happy weekend, jj
Such mesmerizing art and the poem to go with is so beautiful in its subtle way.
I enjoy your post so much!!
