the key to life, Monotype of the Day #650

Day 280 of Year 2 (Actually Day 285)

I'm really enjoying playing with this new technique so much. This is another double print but with a much subtler underlayer.

What's Inside the Ground
By Rumi, Trans Barks

Whatever gives pleasure is the fragrance
of the Friend. Whatever makes us wonder

comes from that light. What's inside the
ground begins to sprout because you spilled

wine there. What dies in autumn comes up
in spring because this way of saying no

becomes in spring your praise song yes.
