Places to Enter

<p>My writings come from recognition of the emotional essence of things.</p><p>It has been said that “the true mystery of the world is the visible not the invisible.”</p><p>However to put it another way: the experiencing of the visible—or the music / the poem / the dance / the painting—that is the true mystery.</p><p>The artist cannot prescribe the full meaning a reader or viewer is to get from the work but can offer only small evidence of his/her own experience with the world. To me it is magical that images both “invite and resist interpretation.”</p><p>I am working toward accepting the transience of nature—life itself—and of allowing the astonishing complexity of it to feel simple and wonderful.</p>
