Windows of Swirling Possibilities
For this week’s creative prompt at Inspire Me Thursday, Melanie offers a poem by Rumi. If you read it very slowly, it might call out to you, awaken your senses:
Out beyond ideas
of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field.I’ll meet you there.
When the soul lies down
in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language
- even the phrase “each other” -
do not make any sense.
Yes, this world we live in doesn’t always make sense so I drew windows of swirling possibilities, an abstract interpretation of this week’s theme. I started to write out the poem with a portrait layout, but found myself wanting to turn the page to a landscape view when I started to begin the layers of soft pastels. Possibly an subconcious move that we need to change our perspective…in times such as these you have to ask yourself…do you turn to the grass to escape reality or to gather renewed strengthen, energy, and hope?
