Veins of ivy scale stones,
find footholds but
the caretaker cuts
earth short, peels
creepers from Cotswold

topple like drunks
on their moss-soft shadows.

Inspired to make new and different choices;
Going. They take action.
Trenching Quotes : pic 000439846
We are exploring together. We are cultivating a garden together, backs to the sun. The question is a hoe in our hands and we are digging beneath the hard and crusty surface to the rich humus of our lives.
Trenching Quotes : pic 000429540
In Maureen Owen's perfectly titled Erosion's Pull, words and lines map, unmap, and revamp our everyday postcontemporary geographies: ironies and ambiguities, surrealistic conundrums, kaleidoscopic comedies, puzzlements, certain and uncertain loves and losses.

Trenching Quotes : pic 001117415
Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrane.

connoisseurs of geologic form,
Trenching Quotes : pic 001307604
And besides; the problem of land, at its worst, is a bye one; distribute the earth as you will, the principal question remains inexorable, Who is to dig it? Which of us, in brief word, is to do the hard and dirty work for the rest, and for what pay?
Trenching Quotes : pic 000506459
Good shoveling - and then I walk
