...the cover...

out beyond ideas of
wrongdoing & rightdoing,
there is a field.
i will meet you there.

when the soul
lies down in that grass,
the world is too full
to talk about.

ideas, language,
even the phrase “each other”
doesn’t make any sense.
the breeze at dawn
has secrets to tell you.

don’t go back to sleep.
you must ask for
what you really want.

don’t go back to sleep.
people are going
back and forth
across the door sill
where the two worlds touch.

the door is round & open.
don’t go back to sleep.

[ the cover of my sketchbook for #thesketchbookproject ]

do you see her walking into the portal
or facing forward?

.

when i first begin painting her,
i saw her facing me.
& her hand with the blessing symbol.

then when i looked at her later,
she appeared to be walking into
this secret garden -
this round & open door.
