why this image does delight me/ more than does another?

where we live and who we are

 

 

 If we know what love is

we will love again.

IF WE HAVE BEEN CLOSE, WE WILL BE CLOSE AGAIN.

it’s Lent and raining

we are celebrating . . .

thinking about form—

how things encountered belong to forms, find their forms, define, renew and structure forms.

the forms I think about when I am in this space

are open cups, closed cups and spirals, which are at once both open and closed forms.

undulating and interlacing lines are spirals whose lines are irregularized, loosened; they release the momentum of spirals, but inhabit different regularity.

beholding is a consequential action: how many coils rotate off one axis, or spin off from a vortex outward on their separate planes/ counting up, attending, until one: the curve where energy deflates, loops into pattern.

how many involutions do we walk before a maze becomes a wilderness—or walks us through toward grace?

open cups fill up with motion, slide atop it: pulled by inner/outer curvatures in mated surface tensions; and enclosed cups of course, are waiting to burst open.

voids contained by energy are spirals; those sustained by mass are cups.
