A station wagon driving down a snow covered road with snow covered mountain peaks in the not too far horizon. On each side of the road are the still in shadow, morning is rising, pine trees.

You don’t see me;
You don’t see me;
You don’t
See
Me
Do you…?

Of course you don’t
See
Me
Right here.
I’m invisible…
To you — to
everyone.

For now;
I am air which
Takes no shape
Or form;
Just something
There, but
You don’t see me.

You don’t see me…
Not yet; but,
One day —
You will
See
Me.

We go through life seeking to be seen, to be recognized by our communities. The list of reasons for being recognized is various and depends on each person’s unique sense of inadequacy.

I do the same, and at times I feel unrecognizable for anything extraordinary. These moments can feel defeating. However, keep hope by reminding yourself: I will be seen, someday; so I must never give up.

Be well, my friends.

Hey my friends!

I am starting another art project. This one is focusing on artists of all kinds where I interview them. I plan to make a series of these interviews and to call them collectively Dreaming While Awake. The point of these interviews is to better understand the artist’s focus, discipline methods, hopes, dreams, projects, and what they are moving towards.

For those interested, please reach out to me through one of my various connections shared in my LinkTree down below!

Thanks!

Two young children, one draping an arm over the other, both facing away from the camera, walking down a dirt/gravel road to a distance not established. Upon the sides of the road are brush that are bristlely, short, and dry grass.
Porcelan doll face that is cracked and looking down and with the closed mouth, looking scared.

A person, how hands are hidden in front of them, stands just before an open lane at a bowling alley. All pins are set for a fresh take at the bowl. Neon lights are all around, the room feels dark and cool. It is ready to be played.
An individual is holding these multi-sided paper shaped three dimensional start in their hands while many others are floating all around them. The star being held is covering the individual’s face. This is to say “have imagination and let it flow from you.”

Motivation Series

6 stories
A collection of natural images such as the ground of a forest, desert extending higher through the natural layers of our existence (moving through the trees, to the mountains, sky, then stars) showing our place in this reality of current.

Writing something, somewhere, lost in some thought, figuring things out, and purposefully flaky. I don't do conformity or expectations; so keep them low.
