Four Miniatures: Seeds of New Meaning; The New Tenebrism;
Movement; The Poetry of Images



(1) Seeds of New Meaning

Whether or not the seeds of new meaning set root and flourish
depends not so much on any form of promotion or publicity, but
rather on their strength of resonance with our spiritual need
for clarity and truth.

(2) The New Tenebrism *An Art lighter
than mountain air . . .


In Poetry and Photography, the title or frame
creates a background shadow of knowledge
of things implied, but left unsaid or unseen;

Out of this background emerge dramatically
contrasted centers of light and focus.

The balance of the pattern as a whole
is its composition; The strength of emotion
thus awakened, its depth of expression.

(3) Movement

   We rehearse information,
   but perform meaning.

Information is like the web of links in a wire fence;
Meaning is like the cascade of waves on a mountain stream.

One you can stitch together endlessly, capturing what you're
looking for, and keeping out what you don't want in. The other,
just by drawing a border around it, vanishes before your eyes.

(4) The Poetry of Images

The poetry of images
evokes the text
without the words;

The texture of images
evokes the feel
without the touch;

The music of images
evokes the sound
and
the rhythm
of the dance
without the voice,
without
the
drum.
