where the sky meets the earth

 

repetition
nothing is ever exactly the same

music is memory

silence fills me with silence

saddened

 

There's a blaze of light
in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
the holy
or the broken
Hallelujah

Leonard Cohen

teaching again

 

 

 

We must not think of self-expression as something we may do or something we may not do.  Self-expression is inevitable.  In your work, in the way that you do your work, and in the results of your work, your self is expressed.

Behind and before self-expression is a developing awareness in the mind and that effects the work. This developing awareness I will also call "the work".  It is the most important part of the work.

There is the work in our minds, the work in our hands and the work as a result.

something alive

 

 

something alive
something spare

an aesthetic of simplicity
an aesthetic of the ordinary

and the ephemeral

an aesthetic grounded in nature and organic repetigion
an aesthetic discovered through solitude
an aesthetic that is timeless
an aesthetic of craftsmanship

and time
and labour

Judy Martin 2010 journal

It's about your heart

 

You have to create
Even when it falls apart
Even when the world doesn't get it
It's what you came here to do
It's not about your legacy
It's not about how successful you are
It's about your heart and what it beats for

Keep making magic baby
