eternity

eternity, pastel
I continue to work on pieces for my next show opening April 1st. I read poetry, and in the past months I have feasted on a banquet of poetry, all of it influencing my work. So I share a recent main course. Enjoy.


All things pass
A sunrise does not last all morning
All things pass
A cloudburst does not last all day
All things pass
Nor a sunset all night
All things pass
What always changes?

Earth...sky...thunder...
mountain...water...
wind...fire...lake

These change
And if these do not last

Do man's visions last?
Do man's illusions?

Take things as they come

All things pass

Lao-Tzu
