The artist guides our eye to the clutter of the roomand the quality of light on the apples, and we wonder. Sheattunes our ear to the scratch of the pen hurrying to writethe most earnest supplications before self-consciousnesstakes over. Surely the fact that I worry means something.Surely my room of so many days holds stories worthsetting down. Consequence is an act of imagination.Everyone wants to imagine a consequential life. (from In My Room)A heron slips along the shoreline as if on rice paper. Agreat angler, he will place a reflective object on the water’ssurface-a pin oak leaf, for example-and watch for a fishto investigate. The heron’s patience, driven by necessity,far outstrips mine. Fifteen minutes in and I lower thebinoculars to look for other birds. Meanwhile, the greenheron waits, motionless, seemingly dispassionate, until afish is in range and he strikes. Is it hyperbole to comparethe jolt to lightning? His long neck shooting out andsnapping back, he breaks the water’s surface like a diverwith barely a ripple and comes back with the catch. He isfed because he waited, quiet and watchful. (from Green Heron)
