The cyclical nature of all being. Beautiful.

[r. f. jordan]

this is mind-numbing imagistic brilliance, much of which silks over my head like the cumulus meanderings of a part-shine noon. i admire how the image is cropped in to the work itself, to the point that the work becomes multi-faceted. i still don't know how to post a picture into a poem like that. i'm twisted to shallow exposure when it comes to eastern transcendence, but i love the rhythmic couplings of this piece, and how they saunter two-steps into the peace they attempt to communicate. thank you for sharing your brilliance with me on this site.
