expedition, Monotype of the Day #865

Day 133 of year 3

We are all part of a great stream that moves inexorably forward. We are not the best, we are not the worst, we are part of something much bigger than we can ever know. In the studio, my work is about trust, learning to loosen my grip so this stream can carry me on. So many times I have run the rapids only to find myself in this beautiful place. Sometimes I feel like I'm teetering on the edge and yet unseen hands hold me safe. I am grateful.

Sonnets to Orpheus Book II, 1
By Rilke, Trans Barrows and Macey

Breath, you invisible poem!
Pure, continuous exchange
with all that is, flow and counterflow
where rhythmically I come to be.

Each time a wave that occurs just once
in a sea I discover I am.
You, innermost of oceans,
you, infinitude of space.

How many far places were once
within me. Some winds
are like my own child.

When I breathe them now, do they know me again?
Air, you silken surround,
completion and seed of my words.
