Circling Back

                                                                                               Santa Monica, CA   January 30,  2014 © Marissa Roth

Circling back to go forward
To land and fly again

A welcome moment of stillness
As projects finish and blank canvases await
Time finally to revisit old letters, old ideas, old photographs
Remember friends gone
Fragments of time and chapters puzzle into a clear form

The redrawing of familiar lines reinforces foundations
Renewing vision and direction
The present presents itself a new chapter.
