Story in a Forgotten Language
14 x 14
Leslie Avon Miller
I want to tell what the forests
were like.
were like.
I will have to speak
in a forgotten language.
in a forgotten language.
~W.S. Merwin
Close some doors.
Not because of pride,
but because that no longer fits your life.
~Paolo Coelho
I keep trying to change what I do all because of too much thinking,
instead of letting it happen.
What I do keeps on insisting to be here the way it wants to be.
For that I am grateful.
You can’t help but be true to who you are;
nobody can tell you how to be a good artist.
Your soul is going to be in there anyway, if it exists at all.
It can’t be some programmatic, rigid,
ideological thing that’s outside of your own experience.
~Ellen Phelan
The only way you have anything to
offer as an artist is to please yourself.
I am still telling stories in the studio, and dancing in the process.
Story to be continued.
