The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you Don’t go back to sleep! Everything you need to heal A palimpsest is a surface that has been written over — but not quite erased. The earlier marks stay. Faint. Present. Inflecting everything that comes after. As a grad student Depth Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institue, one of my final projects in our Psyche-Nature course, I’m working on a large palimpsest painting grounded in a Goethean, Jungian arts-based inquiry at Torrey Pines, in San Diego near my home. Blessed by the beauty, “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” ― Søren Kierkegaard After a long day of writing about theopoesis—the way art becomes a kind of devotional seeing—I needed to step outside and let the world speak back. A day’s passage from Florence to Venice felt like stepping through a shimmering veil—albeit one reached by bullet train and espresso cart—from the marble heart of the Renaissance into a dream precariously balancing on water. Here, beauty was once the leading currency. Silk, spice, and song crossed the Adriatic, each arrival an offering to imagination itself. Venice, just for a moment.
