“To say anything—the mere effort alone—is a form of abandonment, an act of distortion. We can’t pin the world down in words, but there’s incredible pleasure in attempting to chart the slippage.”
—Joseph Massey
we slip
from being to saying
there is pleasure
in the tearing away
abandoning the seen
for the said
it’s the tension
between the two
between the too
many things
That is so incredibly beautiful …

I agree, exquisite. The quote, the poem, the images, how it all fits together and amplifies each other. Wonderful.

And the love button, where is that? Deborah and Ronald said it – but also, thank you.
Seen and said, we need both, as you illustrate so clearly.

Much love back at you, Lynn.
And the “Love button”? Too funny.
I have often been tempted to ask where that is too, but it seems to happen mostly with lady bloggers and…..well……you know…..it seems a bit inappropriate…..
