Less ... More


My Being is rendered utterly mute by the power of the blossom


I am speechless …


Without vocabulary to adequately express


I have neither thought nor voice …


Sufficient to do justice to her beauty




Then … with the removal of light, with all of its revelations


I enter the realm of another sort of experiential awe


This visitation is suggested by line and contrast


‘Tis the eloquent Silhouette … Mistress of the Minimal


In the absence of detail, my Spirit picks up its brush


Coloring the Image with my own imaginings


The Silhouette invites my fuller participation … deeply within


My spiritual Voice is freed to whisper … even sing … its offerings


I participate, even more fully than possible in the presence of detail


Can it be true … that what seems Less, can be so much … More
