Spread #55 – Weighing & Wading & Waiting… June 9, 2009
Posted by Orly in Spreads.trackback
I love these words by Walt Whitman:
“Long have you timidly waded holding a plank by the shore,
now I will you to be a bold swimmer,
to jump off into the midst of the sea,
rise again,
nod to me,
SHOUT!
And laughingly dash with your hair.”
That pulchritudinous plateau of pages you presented me with this past year presented this playful prose perfectly, placed as a preeminate present to prompt me to the process of putting pencil to paper and proclaiming my permanence upon the planet, as well as preventing me from putting too profuse or prevelent priority, piety or power upon my ponderable presence.
Props paesana – peace out!
Amazing, as always.
Looking forward to seeing you in the next Artful Blogging, btw!

Inspiring words and spread.
I don’t think I’ve mentioned how enjoyable it is to comment over here — like I’m journaling on your pre-painted pages.
How fun!
beautiful journal pages and a very thought-provoking question… wonderful quote by whitman too!
Your work is so cool, love it.
Orly they don’t really come more beautiful than you and your words and art do they?
Love you.
