Ships

reflection, 2011

We were watching
tales of origami.

He thought it would
slow us down, ground us.

It worked,
but he closed his eyes
too soon.

    Origami paper as delicate as the butterfly's wing. I think of ships that pass in the night, never to return and the short life of the butterfly. Is it better to be grounded or light enough to fly away at any moment? Love these posts full of inspiration.

    Thanks for the link; it looks like an interesting movie. And thank you, too, for the earlier referral of "Shadow Tag" by Louise Erdrich. It was interesting to read one of her earliest books and then one of the latest to see her growth as a writer. I also found the novel's examination of self, of image, of boundaries and privacy fascinating. A heavy book, but a good one.

    Saw this last night. LOVED it. Thanks so much for the recommendation. I'm assuming you've seen "Rivers and Tides", the Andy Goldsworthy documentary?

    Rachael, I still haven't read Shadow Tag... Must do. The latest Paris Review was just released. Time for more inspiration.

    mosey, I'm so happy you enjoyed it. I have seen Rivers and Tides, several times. Good call. It's excellent.
