Image Swimming is a term I invented for a series of literary meditations inspired by visual work — in this case, the work of Deborah Koff Chapin, creator of Soulcards. I’m using the cards from Deck 2. Please visit https://touchdrawing.com/ for more on this transformative process.

animal and tree
roots and roaming
anchors and expeditions
principle and pushback

animal and tree
establishments and revolutions
the familiar and the bizarre
the known and the new
the clear and the impaired

animal and tree
conservative and liberal
stasis and flow
certainty and doubt
faith and anguish
joy and resistance

animal and tree
us and them
the collective and the individual
the world and everything in it
everything you know and
everything I know
