    you have done some nice things visually with this piece...i like the river of letters...the gap in align allay...(im) mobile...the visuals tak us on as much a journey as the words...

    This poetic sculpture consists of carefully equilibrated parts that move in response to the breath of voice. A beautiful capture in words and thought of the pictured mobile.

    This is extremely clever! Visually striking, and makes the mind work to keep up with the meaning. Wonderful, bkm! You clever girl!

    Barbara,

    Years ago I thought Calder pointless, frivolous. Now I recognize the shapes and particularly the balances, moving balances.

    Yes. Quite taiji, Tai Ch'i.

    I love this piece! The words themselves are great, but the way you arranged them on the page makes them amazing. Bravo.
