Two Ways of Seeing

2009.05.04
Painting—
“Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.”

Pablo Picasso

life—

'Tis my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes!
~William Wordsworth

trees see—

Us sing and dance, make faces and give flower bouquets, trying to be loved. You ever notice that trees do everything to git attention we do, except walk?
—Alice Walker, The Color Purple,

out of place—

“I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue, than why I have one”

Marcus Porcius Cato

uncluttered—

“We are the children of our landscape; it dictates behavior and even thought in the measure to which we are responsive to it”

Lawrence Durrell

Disturbing the Peace

The whole of life lies in the verb seeing.
—Teilhard De Chardin

I do like contrasts.
