Earth Measure Blues
Color:
my obsession,
a way of being in the world,
power to change the quality of attention.
Geometry:
shadow of perfection,
someplace to stand,
something to hang onto.
Beauty
is subtle, ecstatic,
elegant, rude,
pure experience beyond self.
Geo means earth, metry is measurement. Blues—the color of high desert sky, of sacred turquoise, the sound of lonely voices, horns, sounds descended from wooden drums in a forest night.
“Earth Measure Blues.” Shallow space for push and pull, cut-in lines to follow, curves to bring us back around. Measure the blue earth. The blues measures our earth. Earth is the measure of the blues.
Earth measure blues.
