everything is coming up roses, Monotype of the Day #332

I'm not satisfied with my green. The options are limited. I've ordered a different blue and yellow so we shall see. On the bright side though, after releasing a lot of difficult experiences through my prints the past few days, something new has bloomed. The emptier an artist can become, the more they can be filled.

I believe in all that has never yet been spoken
by Rainer Maria Rilke, trans. Anita Barrows and Joanna Macy

I believe in all that has never yet been spoken.
I want to free what waits within me
so that what no one has dared to wish for

may for once spring clear
without my contriving.

If this is arrogant, God, forgive me,
but this is what I need to say.
May what I do flow from me like a river,
no forcing and no holding back,
the way it is with children.

Then in these swelling and ebbing currents,
these deepening tides moving out, returning,
I will sing you as no one ever has,

streaming through widening channels
into the open sea.
