For In Tandem #9 |
ripple and refresh all hidden corners of our lives.
Their currents move us forward at a pace the river chooses,
and as human flotsam-jetsam, we all float, but who knows why?
Still across the crystal surface of this source which bubbles upwards,
the shadow leaves goes whirling, each a life with its own path.
But these rivers do not falter, are fulfilled by every journey
without a thought of where they flow or what is meant to be...
This was what the second In Tandem image called forth this afternoon - I only wrote down the words - I leave the interpretation to the reader!
And today. 8/10/2012, I've linked to IGWRT, fo a second airing...
Love this... to me this is about folowing our conscience/ God's will.
ReplyDeleteWhat will be - will be.
ReplyDeleteWhat a poetic way to say.
To me, this is about learning that one cannot control everything. You can work with what is or struggle against it and be frustrated.
ReplyDeleteThis is the wavelength we share.
ReplyDeleteI like this one better, although the continuity throughout the seasons on your other in Tandem has a nice feeling to it too. Great images here though.
ReplyDeleteNice, very nice.
ReplyDeleteYour name keeps popping up around the places I visit in here. Cheers.
Very nicely done, enjoying your work!
ReplyDeleteAn intriguing post. Opens up thoughts and possibilities in all kinds of directions.
ReplyDeleteI like the two pieces, and am surprised by the difference in their tone and construction. One better than the other? No. Each is a stand alone piece conveying quite different sensations and meanings.
ReplyDeletethis is really lovely, Pen, and your artwork is one of my favorites!!! i know you did it in more than one color, but blue is my fave.
ReplyDeletehave a great week!
♥
exquisite...really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThose last two lines are thought provoking ~ Rivers flow with a thought, we choose ~
ReplyDeleteThe flows of the nurishment of life....love the flow of your words Jinksy!!
ReplyDeleteYour words flow like the river itself.....wonderful accompaniment to the beautiful blue image.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful write --for me about the tao--
ReplyDeleteSometimes it would be nice to know where that river was carrying us, but I suppose that is not the nature of water. Beautiful writing!
ReplyDeleteNice verse, Jinksy. It made me think:
ReplyDeleteWhere the river flows it cares not.
But those in the swim have a choice,
man was made by God to be that way.
..
But who knows why. We do like to question, but in the end, life is always better experienced, accepting the "river's" pace.
ReplyDeleteOooo...not everyone floats. Just the survivors.
ReplyDeleteOh, Jinksy, you and I must have been channeling the same thoughts, similar rivers, recently.
ReplyDeleteK
Very well done!
