I taught a new screen course at Thames Barrier Print Studio this weekend, and got to chatting with another artist in the studios. Here's a poem loosely connected by a further artist, a show in November, this artist from the studios, a piece of paper, Adobe Illustrator, and me:
John Pilgrim
Be patient with me
because I am not trying
to do anything.
Be silent with me because I do
not know anything.
I can only share your laughter and your tears
I am in moments, all your strength, all your fears
and I have come to love easily
though the way seemed hard.
Be gentle
Be kind
I am without defence
I am the weakness of one who has set himself
for too long against the blowing of the wind
I am the strength of a blade of grass
I am the laughter of a mountain stream
I am the tears of spring rain
I am you without your name
Aldous Eveleigh
