Before you came I spoke through rivers and trees, the flat plains spilling distance out to where the world was a mirage and time shimmered dreamlike plunging downwards into a vast inner sea. Fish swam where now rocky outcrops rise above the red earth and exotic lifeforms floated silently through a celestial dark. All was an ocean of dream, creations womb where earth, sky and water were one before being born and pulled apart.

Klee... certainly knew how to use color as expressions of his somewhat rebellious thoughts about painting and life. He's got nothing on your thoughts with respect to poetry, Paul. You guys named Paul speak the language of art very clearly and cleverly to me. Some of his paintings remind me of patchwork quilts with his placement of ' things.' Well done, Paul W.

I blush dear Lin on reading your comments. Always felt a strange connection to Klee's work....the primacy he gave to the imagination, the mystery he weaved into his little creations somehow resonated. Good observation on the patchwork...often thought the same. Many thanks Lin, Take care, Paul
