Quiet Thoughts in Tandem

Clarity    Ink, wash & pen  2013
I am a great admirer of the painter Agnes Martin . Her quiet paintings and spare words speak volumes. The following is an excerpt from "Writings"- a  rare series of essays written in the sixties.

"The ocean is deathless
The islands rise and die
Quietly come, quietly go
A silent swaying breath
 
I wish the idea of time would drain out of my cells 
and leave me quiet even on this shore".  A Martin

The further I look into Space, the farther away I move from the madding crowd.....
