THE LIGHT CAME IN
AN EXPLORATION IN INTUITIVE EMBODIED CREATIVITY
THE LIGHT CAME IN
2022
THIS IS THE MUSIC I LISTENED TO WHILST CREATING THE WORK...
YOU CAN ACCESS THE FULL PLAYLIST ON AMAZON MUSIC HERE:
An exploration of what lies beneath the surface. Of what can be found when we tune in to our inner knowing. A discovery of what is inside of us when we choose to tune out the conscious mind and listen.
This work is based on what comes from dream states. Streams of consciousness flow full of metaphors with stories to tell. An unfolding of unconscious waters, ebbing and flowing, back and forth, revealing and concealing, pushing and pulling.
As you enter you’re lulled into a more meditative state, drawn inwards to connect with your own subconscious as the repeating hues slow your mind to a more contemplative pace The back-and-forth rhythm that follows is suggestive of being drawn back in and then being released by the waves. From one subconscious to another, something is communicated within the pages, a sense of story, unfolding.
The Sea Awaits
Shimmering,
Sparkling
I step deeper
and deeper
The cold waters,
gently washing over me,
I feel held
The water cools my skin,
supports me there
Weightlessly,
I surrender
With each breath,
I surrender
Surrender
to the time and place
Memories Fade
I am aware
That I am tied to this sea
And it’s current
Anchored here
Unsure
I wait
As with the moon
The sea shifts
In and out
Back and forth
It rocks me
Into a gentle sleep
lulled
Forever rhythmic
Hypnotic
Am I destined to be
Lulled for an eternity
Never expected to
Awake
From this state
I forget myself
Lost
In the motionless sea
It’s like
The stillness of
A dream
Surreal
Floating
Still
Calm
Stagnant
The land I knew
Lays arid and dry
I know I can’t go back there
All that survives
Is of man
And that which falls
In its shade
I wait for a time
when the shore
Is in sight
As I do
I slip beneath the water
I let it consume me
Wondering if there is a way
To exist
In the depths
And the darkness below
Something deep
within me is no longer
willing to surrender
I do not wish for
Barren lands
Or rescue boats
Or a sea that is calm and wide
I long for
Meandering streams
Dauntless rivers
With rapids
Flowing wild
I will the current
To come and move me
I am unbothered by where
I just longed to be moved
From this place
To somewhere new
A place where I can breathe
If I could create ripples
That could turn into waves
Waves that could
Carry me back
To gasping breaths
A place where
I no longer have to
Ebb and flow with
The tides
Perhaps
I could find my way
Back
To a place that is me
No longer
Waiting
I dream
And let me dreams carry me….
Back to the shore
