Walking in Hours
8×8 – oil on canvas
“Oh I have been a beggar and shall be one again, and few the ones with help to lend within the world of men. One day I walk on flowers, one day I walk on stones. Today I walk in hours, one day I shall be home.”
These lyrics by Bruce Cockburn, are some of my favorite ever. Years ago when I was wandering all over the U.S. and Canada, I got to hear him play in a little theatre in Halifax, Nova Scotia. There were all of 30 people in a high school auditorium. It was one of those delightful moments where you know you have experienced another’s heart. I would like to pour something like that into my own art. Until now, I have preferred telling my story in images. These days I am venturing out with words. I am more aware than ever of the hours we all walk in and our shared longing for and anticipation of home.
