Pretty and meaningful moments from Amman. Also the cutest Noah! You’ll know when you see him.
Here is a small writing for mi instagram audience:
Soul gaffer taped and earnestly bruised I ask of my child who resides in the forlorn regions of my world to come out and play. I ask of them to find solace in the desolate landscape that is my thought, barren and frail.
Terrain is rough, bittersweet, discordant.
Gravel, orderly but messy!
Speak of memory. Do we carry all that moves us, or do we move far greater than what should be?
Words betray me, friend.
Minute by minute, it flees before me, a flow of dusty poetry which we might call life. My cowardly heart turned its eyes away from your being. What it saw - a distant oblivion.
Yet in the past 3 weeks you have reminded me again of the sheerness of your will, the resounding dreams and cries of our past, and a beautiful capacity to confront that at which others only cower.
I love you, sister.
To seek profundity, to sustain an affinity towards the depths, requires a liveliness unparalleled to daily experience; a liveliness that may even be emulous of death.
The whole US tour comes down to this point, as I wake up everyday to a creation of humility and courage in the face of the absurd. This is one of a few paintings with a clear will to identify with a human statement.
Here is to those who suffer in beauty; their existence isn’t extenuated, but confronted. @obaido.abeer
