Marcia Arrieta



reflected


through pastures & sketchbooks & flowers

the bear sleeps in the canoe

the moose walks up the mountain


I water the trees

 
 
perspective


transcend demands impetus sail pencil utopian terrestrial metaphysical fish

“To stand despite all possibility of falling”        Paul Klee 
                                                                      Notebooks   Volume 1    The Thinking Eye 

the chair in sky in fire the thunder the rain reshaped acres afternoons

the air a cave the edge sufficient



the sun 


is a water lily is an acorn is a hummingbird is a phoenix


 
 
interlude vision


focused/unfocused the days   a dragonfly  a ladybug  a hedgehog   
notes written   calls made    the sculpture of recycled glass reflects  
star   sun   idea      more door than square    the instant tracing
the shoes  the paintbrush  language as dream  language as chrysalis


 
 
(cows graze in the field)


so your mind/words/worlds are like the wind & the stars

you are a shepherd      you row a boat



fragile/resilient


adrift

like a Meidosem


 
 
newspaper/wallpaper/papyrus

the parable 
is found 
in the 
parabola
or maybe 
parachute
suspended 
between
trees
