5 days of Fire Medicine.
“I want to connect the earth to the Universe”
“I am exploring connection to an unseen power.”
“his legacy is written in fire.”
Oh Sky,
i bet you didn’t even know how wonderous so much adornment could feel….
and how much you’ve deserve such a being.
vs. the ones who have filled you with the so very un-beautiful things… the violent and destructive things
It makes sense that you’d settle
for and be content with still ness. and nothingness… over more of the same.
Madam Sky…you have and always will endure.
and through it all…you continue to show up giving birth the sun daily to light up this world… even in your own darkness you are the keeper and giver of light.
and then here comes this guy—this Man! … setting you afire in all the most wonderful of ways.
the love and ecstasy you must feel.
If the expansive sky could ever fall in love with the human being… of course it would be him.
who made it his goal to build a ladder connecting he to you…and you both to the heavens above.
… and when the finale booms…
I ‘m certain you cry in quiet streaks of smoke and still ness.
returning you back to the mundane.
to your sky full of alone ness.
to maintain and hold up all that you do.
Saturday. Sunday. Monday. Tuesday .Wednesday.
5 days of explosive
luminous.
beauty.
Cai Guo-Qiang, when your art is done—
I hope you take care of her please. i hope you stay with her in the silence until the debris —of explosives and heart shards have landed…
that you drive away slowly.
Oh to be the human being that the sky has opened her heart to.
when Chinese alchemists were developing elixir of immortality,
one recipe caused an explosion.
They named their discovery “fire medicine,”
the Chinese word for gunpowder.
From the very beginning, gunpowder has been about accidents,
loss of control and destruction.
But it's also been about the healing power and unseen energies.
I dreamed of becoming an artist when I was little, but like my father,
who was an avid painter himself, I was cautious and timid.
Caution is a fine quality in life, but not so in art.
Once upon a time
