Art is a journey into the most unknown thing of all - oneself. Nobody knows his own frontiers… I don’t think I’d ever want to take a road if I knew where it led.

Louis Kahan
    heron on a post
gazing down, it seems
at dewdrops
    picking herbs
the heron also
seems lonely
    new summer robes—
listening to the pine breeze
they emerge
    when this pine sapling
grows to flower…
who’ll be here?
    The journey itself is my home.”
— Matsuo Bashō
    young green leaves
mirrored in the crystal beads
of my rosary.
    Flickering lights
Of fireflies
Forebode their short lives
