Saturday Morning!
Lightly Child, Lightly.
The secret
Of this journey is to let the wind
Blow its dust all over your body,
To let it go on blowing, to step lightly, lightly
– James Wright, from “The Journey,” Above the River: The Complete Poems and Selected Prose

Dragging the fish
…desire,
a huge fish I drag with me
through the wilderness:
I love its glint among the dust and stones.
~ Gregory Orr, Leaving The Asylum in The Red House. (Harper & Row, 1980.)

- Poem: Your Eyes Blaze Out
- Art: Michael Wong Loi Sing, Fish hat. Painting: Acrylic on Canvas. Meditating woman placing herself in the stream of her thoughts, accepting what she has to do, glowing with colors. The fish has his eyes open, he is the watch man.
