Abstract sumi e print “Winds That Awakened Stars” by Marilyn Wells

Abstract sumi e painting, Zen style, print with ink wash, wet and dry brushstrokes by Marilyn Wells was inspired by

The winds that awakened the stars
are blowing through my blood.
Oh how could I be so calm
when he rose up to depart?
Now words that called up the lightning
are hurtling through my heart.
-W. B. Yeats “Maid Quiet” 1904S

From a Zen point of view, our maid above has allowed suffering to enter her life because of her attachment. Such are the ways we understand love. It is wonderful while it lasts, and nothing lasts, does it? The impermanence, the human condition, everything is always changing.
