Asleep in the Woods

Last week in Muse group we did that strangest of art techniques. To start you wet the (Masa) paper and crinkle it til it’s wadded up in a ball! Then spread it out and paint on it.

Oh to fall asleep in the woods

But on a soft bed with pillows and down comforter

After all, does the fox not have a preferred bedding

And what of my cat Phil (who prefers dry dirt)

Oh to fill the nostrils with pine and damp wood

and let the breeze cool your cheeks

and dream of streams running with fish

and skies pulsing with birdsong

and even worms tunneling through earth (just not in my sheets please)

Break down the barriers between inside and out

Let night in

Let nature in
