dear Tom

the autodidactic art of being
is indeed a multidimensional universe of innocence

it does me good to hear this poem spoke so well to you.

some interesting Outsider Art  

http://www.avam.org/stuff-everyone-asks/what-is-visionary-art.shtml


Like love, you know it when you see it.
But here's the longer definition, straight out of our Mission Statement:

"Visionary art as defined for the purposes of the American Visionary Art Museum refers to art produced by self-taught individuals,
usually without formal training, whose works arise from an innate personal vision that revels foremost in the creative act itself."

In short, visionary art begins by listening to the inner voices of the soul, and often may not even be thought of as 'art' by its creator.

Enjoyed this, Silent.  I love the title & how it re-illuminates the last stanza too.  Should it be when rather than where the weather report or is it just me?

I like it.

"There were years
where the weather report
was enigmatic."

These lines took me to the point where you are saying. And then the remaining process continued. Good one. I like the process.

glad to hear this reached your north sea island

Re-reading, I'm being a pedant (erroneous one too :)) with the when/where thing.  I'm realising, of course, one can mean years as a place in the sense of looking back over a life, a diary etc. A timescape.  And you having used when in the later stanza, it gives it a nice variety with the when & where.

dear Milner

it does me good to feel that you share in this one.

dear Rohith

process is an interesting phenomena that remains something or other to all of us
and is as freeing as we let it be.

Silent--Each of your pieces are ones I can continually come back to and each time I find a new meaning or layer in them. This one, for me, captures the uncertainty of life as a positive and moving facet of existence. It reminds us of how small and fragile we are without making us feel bad about it. Much enjoyed.

dear Stewart

i am truly grateful for you kindness of reply
it brings sunshine to a rainy day.
