Figure Ground

Colour, colour, which colour do you choose?

Pretty cherry red

Thick warm chrome

Viscous Maroon

Royal purple?

There is an invisible canvas onto which we drip:

Indifferent lives; motley hues

Running into each other for a flash of a lifetime.

Blending, mixing, flowing, fading…

Winding in and out

In the web of life.

What would life be without the Master’s strokes?

We'd just be long, lonely highways

Running alongside endlessly,
Never meeting;

Going nowhere.

In the bigger picture

It matters little 

what colour you were

or where you came from

or where you were headed--

What matters is the trail you traced,

Blending, mixing, flowing, fading…

Linking the parts to make a whole.
