Verse

Dusk trotter

Posted by madelynne jones on September 28, 2017February 8, 2018

And we’re walking

In step

To the beat of asphalt

As the blue light

In windows

Pass us by.

And I’m watching

In silence

Movies

Of a life

That isn’t mine.

Sartorial No. 6. Probably my favorite yet, and the most realistic.

My neighbor called me today to tell me she has cancer. Well she called and told me yesterday too to share the news, but part of being there for people is hearing the same things on repeat as you add dry flowers to a new phone case. I just wanted to share with y’all what Mama Anna told me: go out there and live your life. Because it goes by too quickly. Have fun. Be with your friends and family and tell them how much they mean to you and how much you love them. And don’t wait till someone has cancer to say those things. Take the phone call from your neighbor, and please be praying for Anna.

Textures from a commission I did for the awesome Rorie family this Christmas. Thanks @christinerorie for your constant love and support throughout my whole life! This piece is a version of the 1 Kings 19 paintings I’ve done and it changes every time. Now it’s at @hear.me.rorie’s house living its best life. // The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
