My Dream of Alvarenga
Montage in White, Light, Sometimes Watery Focus of a Pilgrimage in Place
Dear Friends,
More and more I find there’s less and less to say when the world reaches inside heart pierced eyes made mirrors
more and more the lines blur, the mind the pinhead of zero-point dimension without end
what comes to you today is the world seeing itself through these eyes seeing as apparition black burnt, white, light, lines—I cannot take my eyes off winter clothes and vine lines—watery brown, stone, clock, tower, mountain backdrop . . . this mother’s moments with Mary.
You might see in Silence the space of a poem. You might read what words are not there as prayer. But what do I know? You have your own way through which what sees itself sees through our eyes seeing. Maybe the mind inclined toward seeing as being that which is seen refuses representation. Then what?
Imaginal seeps out of the Unseen go slowly look obliquely with all manner of love, Renée
