wish i could see them/paint them/write them like cezanne and handke have.
i keep looking, keep seeing them again, keep standing in awe at new revelations.

ive told you before scoot...seeing through your "wish i could see them/paint them/write them like cezanne and handke".....affords me encouragement and motivation to follow my own "wish i could see them/paint them/write them like cezanne and handke" and abbott and calderon....and...and.....and ...

After 5 years with UVU Integrated Studies and Dance artists, I have people in my yoga classes believing and trusting my direction as I work 90 minutes creating-meditating, stretching, breathing... introducing, choreographing yoga postures in unique and testy ways..,,, I wake mid-night and feel confident to follow heart into moonlit empowering creative movement in my backyard
...
movement resolution has bled over into lives spent in prison,,,some contained by barbed-wire, and steel bars, even organized religion, and heroin, all released/releasing...finding freedom thanks to..."wish i could see them/paint them/write them like cezanne and handke".....

yeh...as you demonstrate....life is in the question...how can i see like.....and i say..how can i see like my kids..who say...how can i see like dad.....
thx scott for teaching and asking and seeing as only you see....

you, mister abbott, have the capacity to observation and attention which stands at the beginning, is always a condition of creating anything like i don't know art or somesuch. looking is an art in itself. looking is important.

Euer Hochwohlgeborene Frau von Blumenstadt,

looking around, just looking around, just looking up or down and being surprised, suddenly or gradually, is one of life's great pleasures.

technical intelligence and mechanical discipline and formaldehidic skills like your own, however, transform the seen to the represented in a way only an artist can do.

hochachtungsvoll,
Scottus von der Abtei
