To all aspiring artists and designers. Spiral out, keep going...
6
Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
7
Red and yellow then came to be reaching out to me, lets me see.
8
There is so much more and it beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities.
9
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine drawn outside the lines of reason. Push the envelope. Watch it bend.
10
Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind. Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must feed my will
to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.
11
Reach out to embrace the random. Reach out to embrace whatever may come.
12
I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm.
13
To feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow.
14
To feel inspired.
15
To fathom the power.
16
To witness the beauty.
17
Bathe in the fountain.
18
Swing on the Spiral.
19
With my feet upon the ground I lose myself between the sounds.
20
I open wide to suck it in, I feel it move across my skin.
21
I’m reaching up and reaching out, I’m reaching for the random or whatever will bewilder me.
22
And following our will and wind, we may just go where no one’s been. We’ll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one’s been.
23
Spiral out. Keep going...
