Sleeping-waking
3am thoughts. Climate change. All humans a party, the innocent and guilty.
Everyone on planet Earth. Like a blue plate in that show. (‘Blue: Alchemy of a
Colour’, NGV January 2016) Earthrise, ocean colour, lapis or Persian Blue, one
of those. “…a ghost, orbiting forever lost, in our monotonous sublime.” (Robert
Lowell) Cloud and terrain swirl like a dragon, “symbol of the power of heaven.”
(Marianne Moore) But we haven’t luxury of moonviews, never will. Here on ground
Earth, where “my strength is dried up like a potsherd”. (Psalm 22) Our feet
stand on the firm foundation of home.
