graphite, sketchbook, drawing

Plen­ty of my out-of-my-head draw­ings are noth­ing – stiff or emp­ty, incomplete. 

But then oth­ers form on the page com­plete with per­son­al­i­ties and histories,
and I can’t pre­dict or plan who comes – 

when I’m try­ing hard it doesn’t work,
which can make me feel like a fraud –

but when it hap­pens, it feels like chan­nel­ing, like deep zone connection, 

and who­ev­er shows up, 

they’re al­ways car­ry­ing some­thing I un­der­stand and feel, too … we don’t call it ‘draw­ing’ for nothing.
