Far Back...........
I recall sitting in the back seat of our 57 Olds
gazing out the window marveling at the landscape and architecture rushing by my heart beating to the rhythm of the radio my father's head nodding ever so slightly road markers appearing, disappearing and reappearing
a quick glance through the glass as another car passes by our eyes meet

Years later........
Fresh from her mother's womb
that look in my daughter's eyes
she knew at birth
the connections, the rhythm

Today........
There are times in the studio
in the salvage yard or the river
my steps, my will, my intuition
they move together
appearing, disappearing and reappearing
I keep coming back with the hope of remembering more
