The Changing Seasons: April 2018

April has been a month of poetry: writing, struggling, gorging, studying, dialoguing, renewing my faith in the art and my commitment to its practice.  I can honestly say I have not worked in such a focused manner in a while, and it has been brain-taxing, euphoric, troubling & cathartic in turn.

I believe that we have a deep-seated need to create, to encounter Beauty, to transform our world.  Music, photography, poetry are ways which allow me to do this.  And so I will.

This poetic offering is a combination of 2 forms I’ve worked with this past month: peneira poroso & diamante.

It wasn’t all indoor obsessions this month; I had many opportunities to visit some of the loveliest trails in Singapore.  One of the highlights was a concerted effort with friends to walk from one trail to another (involved some nifty planning of where to leave our cars, which is why it has taken me so long to do this).  It was an invigorating way to spend a Sunday morning!
