Sketch of ‘Myself’ 2018
Sketch of ‘Myself’ 2018
Inspired by Walt Whitman’s “Song of Myself,” I’ve bound together a tapestry of sketches—
a ball point pen—a sheet of paper.
THIS ‘timeless’ Sojourner soaks the pages NOT with words, but instead with ‘images’…
a simple prayer unspoken, yet imbued in every detailed shadow…black, white—color.
From a transformed heart, I will share with you on the Mondays in 2018,
“Sketch of Myself.”
“I am the poet of slaves and of the masters
of slaves
I am the poet of the body
And I am
I am the poet of the body
And I am the poet of the soul
I go with the slaves of the earth equally with the masters
And I will stand between the masters and the slaves,
Entering into both so that both shall understand me alike
I am the poet of Strength and Hope.”
Whitman’s earliest proto-lines that lead to “Song of Myself”
Crossing—over or under…it is all up to you
Happy New Year, dearest Sandy. Looking forward to traveling through 2018 with you in “Sketch,…”
ALWAYS Gratitude & Love…thanks Ann
What joy and wonder I am experiencing now in the simplicity of being with the first “sketch of myself”. In the past I’ve read your wonderful writings and have enjoyed your sketches. I accepted a deep inner invitation to be with, and contemplate them more, reflecting a sketch of mine own self being true. I walk the path drawn as it becomes real in my heart and soul. The stillness speaks to me. I appreciate the invitation to this journey in 2018. Thank you dearly.
I ‘hear’ your words and feel as if we are embarking on another NEW walk…
Thank YOU for saying YES to the invitation…
I LOOK forward to SEEING what becomes of the Sketch of YOURSELF:)
Love you Dipper,
Scout Tooch
