Connective Tissue

How temporary we are as physical bodies here in this place.

If we are lucky enough to be paying attention,

we notice this fragility.

What keeps fragile living systems in balance?

Our every move disperses energy,

rippling through the physical matter of space and time.        

Sometimes our mundane routine presents us with a surprising 

connection, or unexpected pattern.

The artist in me can only respond by making something to document

my own temporary, physical nature passing through this moment.

I am always awestruck at the resilience, the self-repair systems of nature.
