Natural Love
For a recent exhibition we were given the theme “Arrivals and Departures” In Response I used the words of poet Reverend Father Ernesto Cardenal Martínez (born January 20, 1925) as my starting point.
“A universe harmonious as a harp.
Rhythm is repeated equal times.
Heartbeat.
Day/night.
Migrant birds’ arrivals and departures.
Star cycles and maize cycles.
Mimosa opening during the day
and folding when night comes.
Moon and tide rhythms.
And crabs who know the tide is on the ebb
and before it goes out have their hiding holes.
A single rhythm in planets, the sea, atoms, apples
which ripen and fall, and Newton’s head.
Melody, arpeggio, chord.
The harp of the universe. “
I responded with a sculpture of assemblage.
