AH

(for Carol)
And with a single exhale
Life once lived
Moves on
Leaving
A pale and hollow shell
Along a river
Of no return

The Great Toad
("Peyote Moon", 2018, original encaustic)
The Great Toad
At the gateless gate
I met the Great Toad
Sitting tall and wide
And in his gaze
All my needs were known
And met
And in that moment
I passed beyond
Without a trace

Before the Door
("Before the Door", 2023, original encaustic)
Before the door
I thought my life was in a rut.
Before the door
I thought I was trapped in an endless circle.
Before the door
I thought no matter what, this was it.
Before the door
I hadn’t met you.

Manzanita
("Lone Pine", 2024, original pen and ink with encaustic mat)
Manzanita
Manzanita
atop a slight rise
forms a natural shrine
The place a person
could place an offering
or say a prayer
The place a meditator
would sit
and become a buddha

The Clear Light
("A Moment of Grace aka The Empty Mirror", 2024, original encaustic)
The Clear Light
Looking within
We find what is without
Without doubt
Without compare
Without substance or thought or
Any sense of being something
That is somewhere
Either in or out.

Everybody Talks To God
("Eye of God", 2018, original encaustic)
Everybody Talks To God
Believers, nonbelievers
It makes no difference
Everybody talks to God
And ain’t that the truth
Since God is the totality
Of this Life we live
And so the eyes and ears
Of everyone you meet

A Dance of Opposites
(“Evil Eye”, 2024, original encaustic)
A Dance of Opposites
What is the world today?
Good and evil in perfect balance
A dance of opposites
With none the wiser, nor more powerful.
But good after all is good
And evil, evil
And in that, is all the difference.

A Moment of Perfection
(“The Longest Journey”, 2020, original encaustic)
A Moment of Perfection
Winter afternoon gently
Settling into evening
Cold and clear outside
Warm and still within
Art Pepper blowing
A sublime Patricia
Fits the mood perfectly
Leaving nothing
More to do or say.

Hallucination Engine
(detail from "Methow Water", 2024, original encaustic)
Hallucination Engine
Whatever we touch
Morphs
Into a reflection
Of the toucher
And so it is
With all senses
Each reflecting
Our sense
Of self
No other but
An engine of creativity
In ever changing
Display

Poetry
("A Particle in the Wave", 2018, original encaustic)
Poetry
The urge
the force
the light
the crack
of Life
that flows,
out and in
in and out
Reaching
to touch, and
be touched
to change, and
be changed
to transform
awaken, display
remind
In words
what is ineffable

Being In Context
(“Before the Door”, 2023, original encaustic)
Being In Context
Open awareness
Conditioned mind
Two halves of a whole
Like a container and its contents
A sky and its clouds
A heart and its longings
An irreconcilable duality?
Or simply
The gateway to unconditional love

The Spark of Life
(“The Nature of Light”, 2018, original encaustic)
The Spark of Life
The spark of life exists
Whether self aware or not
Embodying Life in all life
This is the hint in the eye
That peers back
Meeting and reflecting
What it is that is
Unconditioned within
All conditioning

Nondual
("Blue Kitty Nebula", 2020, original encaustic)
Nondual
In a universe of inherent unity
Where oneness is the natural state
Diversity is an illusion
Another word for it is
Individual identity,
And despite the rhetoric
And positive PR spin,
It’s actually the root cause
Of all suffering

Swastika Moon
("Swastika Moon", 2025, original encaustic)
Swastika Moon
Luna with her light of darkness
Reflecting Sol on Gaia’s face
Dancing with restrained abandon
Swirls within this holy place
All four corners so aligned
Holding to the Northern Star
While the heavens spin in silence
As you wish, so we are
