The earth
Displays
All that grow
And live on it
Like a chord
That is played
In silence.
Healing and growth through intuitive art

The earth
Displays
All that grow
And live on it
Like a chord
That is played
In silence.
I want to invite you
For fun
And in this seed of thought
Everything in the universe is included
Come hold the world
With one eye closed
You may feel that you want to hold it tight
But I want to show you
How you start from a seed
And always remain flexible
This is our morning exercise of the heart
Start the day like an airplane
That grows to fly
And you can go in many directions
I want to show you
Oh, how much
I want to show you
That you can stand on one leg
And grow.
It is 3 AM.
The strength of the pain came back after a lot of walking on Governors Island and downtown Manhattan, drunk with city views, drunk with walking.
The pain, the body’s shaking, the murmur along the nerve-ways make it impossible to sleep. I go to the studio.
The words come pouring easily and without a break all the way to the end. I am too tired to read what I wrote. I leave them as they are and go back to bed. I come back to them in the afternoon. I add words between the lines, to make things connected and this happens easily too:
It grows
It is like fire
And like a kick-starter
For what will come
The different fires
Are close to each other
And supportive
Your duty is
To just allow it to grow
Your tool is
The atmosphere
Within which it appears
This is the main thing that you can make
It is tangible
It is like wilderness
The fire burns and disappears
But the principle of growth
Stays on as the invisible guide
It is right here
And it is wonderful.
