14"x8"x3" abaca, mulberry paper, copper, shell, faux pearls, rock, candle by Mattie O. Rose
The seer wears her pearls of wisdom
like a mala
they count her fervent wishes and prayers
she sees into the hearts and minds of others
although she has no desire to do so
their stories play before her
like cinéma vérité
she is drawn toward them
riding the barely perceptible sound
of the waves
she is carried in and out
on the tide of their passions
the light at her feet
always guiding her back
beckoning through the night
2022 Karen Stuth
