no finality of vision

.

Maren Hassinger, Whirling. Wire and wire rope


I went for a walk over the dunes again this morning
to the sea, ... the walk liberating, I was released from forms,

from the perpendiculars, straight lines,
blocks, boxes, binds of thought
into the hues, shadings, rises, flowing bends and blends

          of sight: ...

Maren Hassinger, Walking

I have reached no conclusions, have erected no boundaries,
shutting out and shutting in, separating inside
      from outside: I have

       drawn no lines: as manifold events of sand
change the dune's shape that will not be the same shape
tomorrow,

 
Maren Hassinger, Wrenching News. New York Times shredded twisted.

so I am willing to go along, to accept
the becoming thought, to stake off no beginnings or ends
establish  no walls: ...

risk is full: every living thing in
siege: the demand is life, to keep life: ...

Maren Hassinger, Remembering preserved rose leaves, cot, pillow


I will try
     to fasten into order enlarging grasps of disorder,
widening
                scope, but enjoying the freedom that
Scope eludes my grasp, that there is no finality of vision,



Maren Hassinger


that I have perceived nothing completely,
that tomorrow a new walk is a new walk.

The shutter button on my camera broke in Florida last October. I choose to not send it out for repair right away, to stop myself shooting images and use that time for other focusing.  That 6 month period has been like a skip of stones, skimming hop hop hop-ripple ripple across placid water. Time of no-time. Good time. Life time.

                 Hope you are all well.

Peace!
