I am on a train from Waterloo to Salisbury… I am meeting my sister Rosy for my birthday treat lunch… I do enjoy a birthday that runs for 6 weeks! It has felt like an adventure of a day already… Anadi and I rose early, just before 6am, with the intention to run in Grovelands…

Jean sat in her favorite chair in the kitchen by the screen of an open window. She blew her cigarette smoke out past the tiny metal mesh, which temporarily protected her New England farmhouse from a few select mosquitoes of early summer. My new near-80-year-old poet and housemate seemed to love looking out the window,…

Can’t sleep. The phenomenon called pain is very active. And in addition there is some energy in me. I don’t know what it is, but it makes me awake. I slept for three hours. I am very awake and clear. I come to the studio and do this drawing. At first, before I put the…

Sometimes in life lessons come in the most unexpected way … It was a nice sunny Sunday in April and my partner and I decided to have a short break on the Isle of Wight, as it is quite close from where we live and it is in a sensible flying distance for a small…

I arrived with my friends Carl and Molly at the colonial farmhouse that would be my summer home—my three months with God, the earth, and my broken body and spirit. The old, dark brown house stood only inches away from the cracked, New England road that epitomized what I loved about this part of the…

For some time, faces wanted to come into my abstract drawings. It took me some time to let them in. They were persistent. Late at night, which is already the next day’s morning, on 4/2/14 I came to my table to write: I see now and admire the child, the little child, furious and angry,…

We woke at 5.40am yesterday – the morning sun creeping over the hills, softly softly – the day gentle and balmy, the temperature clement, like a fresh summer morn… But we knew the force of the sun’s rays would soon be beaming down on us, in vibrant yellow energy, hot, shining shards of light; until…

There is Divine Order, I say, with a capital “D” and “O”. I’ve come to witness this clearly during my lifetime. Call it Nature. Call it the Law of Attraction. Call it this world-wide web of energies that makes up this matrix we call life. There are laws that govern life that are beyond that which…

In the middle is a package With a secret Of unknown consequences All other things in this picture could be microbes With a very elaborate social order And rules of conduct But in spite of that They cannot contain their joy For just being able to move their fingers And toes And they keep doing…

“There is no beginning, no end,” I wrote in my journal at my parents’ house in New Jersey 17 years ago. Why? Because I had moved there to heal my hip, and expected to stay for no more than a year before continuing on my life’s path. “So much time has passed. It’s all become…

3:30 am. If it hurts too much, I’ve learned to not let it go on. I get up and become more vertical to the earth for some time, I put an ointment on the skin and wait for the pain to subside. I am very awake and it feels good. What would you expect your…
