Week 10: Death. Writing.
What is death, but life,
and what is life,
but death?
In every moment
we are born
and reborn again
our shadows undulating
across the many souls' paths
that we cross.
We prepare
again and again
for birth
without acknowledging that first
there must be a death of an old self
a self that it would seem did not serve us
but in fact,
a self that paved the way
for this very birth.
The union of these two
fated to forever be the twin tides
of our Universe
cannot be pulled apart.
There is no gulf between.
The tide cannot be separated from the ocean,
nor from the surf.

Resistance
Speaking of "death," it's been a tough week for me in considering whether or not to continue with this project. On one hand, it has informed a lot of my artwork this year and stretched me, forced me to practice, etc. On the other hand, it's a pain to feel bound to something (ugh, control issues!) and have a deadline. Did I make a mistake by asking myself to come up with new work every single week? Or is this keeping it fresh, keeping me from trying to make something perfect before I try the next thing?
This week I have no photo. I just simply did not make the time. I almost typed "didn't have the time," but I find that this is a false statement that 99% of the world makes, and it bugs me.
I plan to catch up by posting a photograph, later. But for now, a visual and some writing will (hopefully) do.
