Summer Diaries | June 17, 2023
Go ahead. Ask me my favorite place to go in Seattle.
The place
most magical
most full of whimsy and joy
most likely to fill me with peace
most likely to make me smile.
And I will answer you in a snap.
Olympic Sculpture Park.
A green, grassy hill
That falls from city to sound
Full of sparkling art
I've been many times
Always fresh to seeking eyes
Go there with me now
Richard Serra | Wake | 2004
^
Enter the garden
Slip through the tall metal waves
Now I'm fully here.
Beverly Pepper | Perre's Ventaglio III | 1967
^
Mirrors or window
Reflect the world around them
Change the way I see.
Alexander Calder | The Eagle | 1971
^
Glimpsed from afar through trees
Delicate, dainty, divine
I wonder if she can fly.
Alexander Calder | The Eagle | 1971
^
Up close, she changes
Heavy, bolted to the ground
I trust she is safe.
Teresita Fernadez | Seattle Cloud Cover | 2004 - 2006
^
On grey, rainy days
These colors get bright and bold
And I feel sunshine.
Tony Smith | Stinger | 1967-1968, 1999
^
Secret hiding place
Surrounded by cityscape
I'm safe in the trees.
Mark di Suvero | Schubert Sonata | 1992
^
Steel speaks to steel; as
One vessel chugs by, but the
Other waits with me.
^
You bring endless joy
Sculpture, garden, sea, and sky
SAM, I will be back
