  • INK
    by adgray

    Technology cannot replace the grace the skill the smell of my creativity / I will wait in your cupboard for all time

    I was prompted to write yet again by another Bubbler’s art. / This time I have gone to the Queen of Collaboration herself Kathleen and her simple photo of an empty Ink Bottle evoked this poem. / I felt such a wave of loss / of longing / of nostalgia at the loss of the ink / ink wells ink pens fountain pens quill / I admire the writers of pre biro times for not only their words but for their skill to write with ink – how frustrating for them how important their work was. / my poems My Beast and addicted to the written word sums it up better. / But I love my PC – I still write letters by hand though – it surprises people now days to receive them! Thank you Kathleen for the inspiration to my words – to my work! :O) xx ♥ xx

    Poem by Lu Yu 12th Century Chinese Poet This poem ties in with the last chapter on Chinese painting, where I wrote of the visible and invisible aspects of nature….it was written many centuries ago and yet it could have been written last week… Lao Tzu, the originator of Taosim, says that “Tao is great, Heaven is great, Earth is great, and Man is also great”....in Lu Yu’s poem all four Greats are personified…the second and the last lines are particularly telling….

    Actually, this is me trying to write something that may help me remember something else. You see, after my daughter had run away, I was laying in bed, quite ill, and I had a sort of half dream while writing a poem in my head. It was all about her, the sorrows of her life, my wanting to help her, but it was comparing her to pen and ink in some way. It was one of those sort of poems that was so brilliant, sheer genius .. the sort of thing you feel humbled to be allowed to participate in; yet impossible to remember, once fully awake. This is not the stuff of genuis, here, but it does definitely remind me of what I lost.
