The Age of Abstract

(“The Mothership”, 2024, computer graphic encaustic collage)

The Age of Abstract

We live in a time defined by ideas and ideals
When concepts and abstracts rule
But what’s needed as a balance and antidote
Is grounding in real life
Relationships with others, real people and animals
The real world, of rock and water, tree and sky
And not an artificial world of AI 
Or even naturally human generated intelligence.

We live in an artificial age
When concepts and abstracts rule
As the real world 
Waits patiently within us and without us.
