Sanctuary

Leslie Avon Miller, Collage

The god of dirt
came up to me many times and said
so many wise and delectable things.

 I lay
on the grass listening
to his dog voice,
crow voice,
frog voice; now,
he said, and now,

and never once mentioned forever

I have been seeking refuge, a sanctuary and retreat. 

I find my path by making small art.  

Art is my refuge.

Do not let Sunday be taken from you.

If your soul has no Sunday, it becomes an orphan.

~Albert Schweitzer

  

Paper, textures, torn edges, small patterns, marks and my thoughts.

These make up the collages 

which are my refuge, my Sunday.

My soul is not an orphan.
