I Am

I am. I think of A. I make A out of myself. In order for A to be A, it needs B all around it. So B is created too just as I create A. Now A, a part of me who is different from everything else, and B, also a part of me who…

Layers

Yesterday and today I did two new paintings. I did them small. You finish faster this way and are able to see what you made immediately. I look at the second one now, the one I just finished. The first one is also interesting to share and maybe it will be in the next entry….

What If?

All the drawings and paintings in the blog are thought forms. They are different forms of thoughts than those that we create with language. It is a different way to know and communicate. It is the language that we need for creation. If my art is created only from language-thoughts, it will be like repeating…

Two About Light and You

The flowers grow in all kinds of shapes The light in the flowers Is your light The light in all things Is your light Every little speck of dust Is a door The door is always open Come, go through it Come and meet us where you are. There is light in the white areas…

About the Stones

From A Moon’s Eye

My father lived at the top On the right This is after he died I came to live on the rocks Where you can see the lake I sit on a bench The evening comes like love I let myself feel the evening On my skin Trees and stones look with me Quietly With not…

Who?

Which direction do you grow? To where the joy will take me. What do you hold on to? Nothing. And who is looking at you? I alone look at me. There is nobody else Anywhere.     I used to be a graphic designer and an illustrator.  I became involved with the Chan Meditation Center…

A Second Reading

Painting from article ‘From Dense to Airy‘ What else can we see in this painting? The colors in the architectural area on the right side are warm and feel comfortable with each other. The colors in the man are colder and more contrasting with each other. Can it be that the man is somewhat conflicted,…

For This Time

In some place Like in so many others For this moment The plant is attached to the tip of the world   The balance of flat and broken and empty Of dots and leaves and feathers Depends on One very thin line   In a way that is unknown to us The open chord of…
