Accept mysteries
Open the stillness inside
Be one with your dreams
…and I feel fine.” (REM).
“I’m beginning to hear the teachings of my blood pulsing within me. My story isn’t pleasant, it’s not sweet and harmonious like invented stories; it tastes of folly and bewilderment, of madness and dream, like the life of all people who no longer want to lie to themselves.” Hermann Hesse
Qua. 16×14 in. 41×36 cm. Acrylic on panel.
With every breath
I feel the world within change
and yet, recognizable
Haiku by Clinock
it has never failed
and it was planned to be so
by the white fathers
I speak of the bells
that oscillate in the heart
and call us call us
call us
the cloud / sky romance
magicked us eons before
and we reach out still
into the beautiful blue loneliness of space
~~~~~~
poem and photographs by Clinock
centuries of feet
sun and rain and heated rock
creating magic
closely absorbing
the sidewalks of San Miguel
painter’s ecstasy
each breath enchanted
every step a masterpiece
each day on my knees
so many wonders
geological galleries
in these dusty streets

treinta y cinco,
the Eight of Wands, swift shadows
in the dancing light.

eating helado
entranced by a wall of salmon
a floating of tiles
here is simple peace
the doorway a Madonna
graceful among fishes
