“Intermission” by Carol Fox Prescott
Ourselves and myself. What’s the difference?
I have been otherwise occupied. What is my way back to this wave on which the writer in me floats?
The passion of an idea that must see the light of day. The excitement of discovering the words that tell the story. The delight in the way words appear on the page when I’m writing, so different from the ones that come as I speak. Where in my body do they hide? How do I live in the emptiness when these pleasures are overtaken by others or when there is no pleasure at all?
What is my story? Where does it start? I long for the journey of discovery that sparks my soul, that carries me along from wave to wave. Questions without answers abound. Living in the question.

Carol Fox Prescott Artist Statement:
Without breath, there is nothing, no thing. With breath, we receive all the possibilities that life might offer. With breath, we are driven to express these possibilities. We ust not keep them to ourselves, we must exhale, and with each exhalation we must contribute our gifts to the universe around us.
