I ask “What goes on here?” I leap, tumble, head inward

I can just catch a glimpse of it, shining brightly

I pull back, further back, way back – to take in more

Now I hover between skies and seas

I wonder – how does your blue feel?

I do my damnedest to attain “attention, attention, attention”

I begin to discern what is present, absent, hidden

Trying to perceive what lies at the center of the center

I long to take part in the eternal dance

Then slip into indigo dreams

Pondering what lies within the beyond

Eureka! The traces reveal themselves

Contemplation is essential

I can see for miles, it’s kind of blue

At last, I touch the ancestor

O’Hanlon Center for the Arts thanks Sarah for her time and selections
