Seagull above the waves.

Soar in the Light

Soaring within the storm. Gulls find their flight.

Obscurum per Obscurius

Black and white tiles across the floor…just one block…and a few others – a diagonal path to our window of illumination where I will soar in the light. Resplendent is this beauty, this art of creation, drawing our story, finding our talent, the arc of vision and artistic joy.

The pondering way…finding joy.

I enjoy this pondering way…seeking for one film more…finding the joy in something slightly unusual to my usual fare. Perhaps some work is not all loved by critics but then this is the work they do…we can find for ourselves…our own voice in these moving images. One bad pan – another finds beauty…one bad score another finds harmony.

Another finds beauty…another finds harmony.

Once sneering towards the operatic…but what wisdom comes with age…perhaps gentle ears finding joy in the sound of balanced voices. What joy is this but my own and what more can there be save perhaps the joy shared with others. These works are someone’s work…their work…their effort…so much easier to cast shadows then light…bring me the light, we will shine, we will soar.

Bring me the light…we are soaring

There have been a few moving visions within my window these past few weeks. Unimportant what they are, more important that this salience has allowed these few words. White and black tiles…just one more step…to the window. Hold on to our one joy…33 rpm…obscurum per obscurius, this is the pearl…as one are three…as one are four…we have voice…we have gesture…we have expression…we have movement…we are soaring.
