dear friends and fellow workers--
a phrase i used much in some of my visual poetry books and etc is this
To absorb darkness/until all that remains/is light.
it's the very old old school route
--to voyage through darkness--take it in--until all that there is is light--
(if one makes it through!)
one can find it on final (14) page of visual poetry book HUNG ER
at http://www.brokenboulder.com/neotrope.htm
(it is in vll. 2 of neotrope) or:
http://www.brokenboulder.com/chirot.pdf
the light/dark--one can also think of as not as opposites, but complementaries as in the yin-yang symbol
the voyage being a liminal one-
as for light in thomas kincaide--"i don't see it" so to speak--neither a naturalist/realist/spiritual light--perhaps the gleam of luchre?--or one cd perhaps call him the Painter of Lite--
the ponderous solemnity with which his work becomes enshrouded at times--is like a pastiche of any hefty tome on "serious art"--something smothering abou it--as though one will be simply extinguished--by the wopping amounts of his "light" canvases!--
i wd say though that until mentioned here i had forgotten of his existence!--after all, i do confess to not being able to see the light of his!--
