Thoughts from an ARTist
"Beautiful landscape
Manicured escape
Carved with chirps and feathers
Maybe stormy weather
(my first ever Tornado warning)
The silence is very disarming
Makes you revisit those forgotten warnings
Recalculate assumptions with candid conversations
Humanity in art and its manifestation
Vulnerability at the sleeve
Take it and breathe
Relax, be humble, allow the rumble
Discover sky - blue and lightning
Surprise and jibes and rules of patriarchy
Throttling beauty and engaging hierarchy
150 years of ordering the chaos
While living and breathing the cosmic ho-hum
Smiling always “All are welcome!”
I love you LanesboroI
love you friends from Lanesboro
Thank you Catie
Thank you Minnesota
Peace and ART."
