The Sky Within Us
The Sky Within Us, egg tempera on panel, 30 x 30 cm, March 2025
We live in a rural spot. There are all sorts of ways that Spring declares herself and having our ‘ears in’ and our eyes open so we are listening to and seeing the season unfurl is a joy that even if we wanted to, we couldn’t avoid.
When the world feels scary and uncertain it is even more precious to listen to the birds. I tried to hear them as they populated my tabletop.
"A birdsong can even, for a moment, make the whole world into a sky within us, because we feel that the bird does not distinguish between its heart and the world's." ~ Rainer Maria Rilke.
