"being and becoming what?, pastel on paper, 1988.
okay, the last of the trilogy from days gone by ...
i really don't like doing things in even numbers - a 'monk' thing i guess - and even though there were a few more pastels on black Arches paper done at that time, my documenting procedures left something to be desired ...
had a buddy in NYC back in those days - Alexander X. - a Greek guy who went to Syracuse [of course], and loved to read/ponder philosophy ... as it is with all my relationships, their influence spills over ... thank heavens i've had so many interesting friends ...
i'm reading Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations", and he mentions the same in 'debts and lessons':
"all things for which we need the help of fortune and the gods" ...
