The Handprint

The Handprint  (Pearl River, May 2015).

In certain lights, a mysterious handprint is clearly visible on the door that opens from the studio's kitchen to the living area. From my futon, I can see that it's the size of a man's hand. It's strangely comforting, like a "good" ghost turning on the lights for you before you enter a room (if you believe in that sort of thing), or a benevolent, helpful robot (like Rosie from "The Jetson's") that has fresh coffee and homemade donuts ready for you every morning.

I've had this feeling before, and it is a deeply spiritual experience, not unlike looking at a picture of an ancient cave dweller's hand through the sands of time. There's a link between he and I that transcends time and space. We connect through this old house as humans who were (and are) here. 

We will always have this space to enter into, as people who have shared and bonded through a particular set of circumstances that ties us to this place forever more. Do you know what I mean? It's way metaphysical. Enjoy the cooler weather today, New York.

Beautiful Morning

Spring Morning (Pearl River, NY - April 2015).

I can tell by the sky that the weather is changing from the different types of cloud formations, and the way the wind moves across the sky. The air feels different, too: I can smell a certain floral sweetness in the air. Ozone from the soil lifts, evaporates, and fills my walks with the scents of spring. Tune in to nature, and let it guide the way for you.  Amen to you on this good day, Friday, April 3, 2015.

Holy Thursday Evening (Pearl River, NY - April 2, 2015).
