1. I love the question, which by way of you philosophically answer with a not seeing, seeing but not really seeing, I feel that is the true human condition until we attend, become really present.

6. This is fun and experimental: a bit of a Jackson Pollock poem, maybe?

   1. 😘 Ingrid 😘

      Honestly, I have no idea – I had nobody in mind when I wrote this – I’m not well versed in art in poetry… but a friend of mine said it sort of reminds her of E. E. Cummings. I truly don’t know – it’s an entirely original piece of mine.

      Shabbat shalom,
