Hope Mary Oliver saw this art work complement to her poem. Is it by Carol Golemboski? So playful and imaginative, and to take such colorful images of bird song, flowers, lay them out together with words and diagrams all in black & white . . .the shadow selves; vase sitting upon the sun; the hand; the animus? oh, yes, and the sexy.
To seek. To explore.
To follow any “path with heart”, per Casteneda.
“And there I travel looking, looking, breathlessly.”
