It’s a full moon night, the house is asleep. And I just want to see some light on the ocean.

Light on the Ocean
Sumi Dancing Curvilinears
Do you want to dance?
We have all kinds here at the Ball.
Step right up and give it a whirl.
The Grande Dame will show you the poise.
While the young are awarely poised.
No need to hurry.
We have plenty of time.

Sumi Curvilinears
An artist came to town, a Curvilinear in practice, bending the lines to suit itself.
Followed by the youngest, of course, who naturally bent lines to suit itself.
A local Curvilinear strolled by, peacefully demonstrating the bending of lines.
Yet another Curvilinear was feeling a little mutable today. Could bend one way or another.
The siblings showed their differences, bending the lines within their personalities.
While another Curvilinear peaked out of bed to see what all the commotion was about.

Sumi Time
Introducing the Curvilinears:
bending the lines to suit themselves
You’ll be seeing them around, because that’s all I really do these days
Yes, just playing with bending the lines…

Waterscape Meditation
Notice how the water
moves as you gaze
pixels undulating
digitally
no drama, merely
waterscape meditation

My Snake Year in Review
Wishing Well Graces and Glimmer
Mother Bear’s Home and Gateway
Lion’s Gate, Dissolution, and Wormhole
Couples, The Horror, and Who Calls? Who Answers?
Portrait of a Wistful Being
Now What?
Morning Pi and Son of Mama Bear
Water Gate and Approaching the Unexpected
Blue Gate, Shine, and Testing the Cosmos
Except for the painting Shine (which just needed to be here), these are some of my experiments with the Year of the Snake in 2025,
Wishing everyone the relief of shedding the unnecessary and leaping into the New Year of the Fire Horse.
My Snake Year
February 2025: in denial
March 2025: pain overcomes denial
May 2025: surgically excise the pain
Summer time green healing
Swimming my way to health
Rising strength seeks
New Year of the Fire Horse
Curious how shedding of pain
Leads to galloping

Behind the Curtain
What goes on Behind the Curtain?
Oh no! Another Gate comes calling.
Sunset Gate
Passing from afternoon’s busyness
into the Now

Waterways Gate
There’s a stream
running through our lives
flowing like water
have you noticed
when you’re in the flow?

Blue Gate
Sometimes
it takes me awhile
to recognize
an obsession
Welcome to Blue Gate
the latest and perhaps
not the last
of my Gateway driven
obsession
