Verbal Description
A landscape image
Dark green rope forms a net curtain stretching across the image’s foreground.The thin rope twists around itself, creating knotted corners amidst a pattern of asymmetrical openings.
A green landscape of smooth lawn bordered by trees in the distance is discernible through the diamond-like windows. Lighter shades blend and blur into darker greens at the horizon’s edge.
The net captures sunlight, accentuating twists and texture in the taught rope. Detail fades moving away from the image’s center, but the presence of the net is still evident.
Beyond the net, the blurred row of trees captures the sunlight, the light’s existence accentuated only by the presence of shadow.
Between two of the ropes just to the right of center, a spider’s thread illuminated by the sun.
Through the openings at the top left of the image, a thin row of white sky.
Lately I’ve been amused
By a clever spin
Weaving its way
Into a new version
Of “the grass is greener” grandeur.
Maybe we’re needed
Where it’s not so green
Just to brighten things up a little.
What if we’re not trapped
But invited to transform?
And what if we need to see
That which we might wish to be
Before we can know
It is possible?
Let us look out
With eyes toward
Liberation
As we see—
And come to know--
The exquisite grandeur within
That yearns for all
To be free.
