"Invisible Architecture Deux (at Robby)"

So you see, once a person drops the scales of prejudiced certainty and doubts appear, there is no telling how far a heart can open.

It is given that the glasses maker, Lippershey was the inventor of the first "Dutch Perspective Glass". Galileo improved lens grinding technology to give his "Perspicullium" increased clarity and magnifying capabilities, and turned it towards the Heavens.
Not being particularly adept, nor classically trained, in the Science of Optics, I have inadvertently spent my entire career looking through (what has subtly proven to be) the wrong end of the Telescope. My notes (however meticulous in constancy and ritual) have chronicled a particular inverted self-sensibility, and kept me cloistered in a construction of my own circumspect interiority.
In layman's terms, my perspective then, has been turned inward.

The Stars however, have had an excellent view of my retinal synapses and have toiled for many a year to chart the comings and goings of what they have simplistically termed my "visual discourse". The results of said research has been exhaustively relayed back to me
in the form of what I persist in calling "Dreams".
Unshackled and light, these purveyors of stellar rectitude find fascination in the rigidity of my defining Nature.

I intuit their jolly dance along the reaches of what (I - perhaps- mistakenly) refer to as a Chaotic Universe, horrified that such a peripatetic existence (both wave and particle, indeed) might conceivably imbue my own binary certitude with an inordinate doubt. No stranger to risk, I yet remain inconsolable in their practiced insistence that while the infinite may render me discomforted, it is (in all likelihood, according to the Stars) the finite that I fear.

Call Your Mother, regardless of what plane of reality she occupies.
Make a list defining your family of choice. Build bridges. Tear down dams and
return that which has been inundated to it's Native Nomennature.

Early spring. Now the bitter gourd

puts forth its sharp-tasting leaves.

The water crossing's too deep to ford

the current cruelly strong.

When it was shallow,

you could lift your skirts and cross it.

In our struggle to make our way home, we encounter many obstacles. Some of these are physical: rivers, canyons, mountains, sickness, families of origin, cultural privilege.
Others are more abstract: valleys of esteem, peaks of ego, projections of passage.

We are more than our perceived histories. We are more than our the patterns of our helixed DNA. Our ancestor's concepts of the future are not the constructs of our present; we do have to not fall victim in the hallways of predilection.

We get to flow. Around and through. The stone does not get to decide if it may impact the current. The pattern of the flow decides the path.
This is the method of construction that takes form in the draw:
