a witnessing presence ii, 48x48" oil on canvas, unframed

This is a 48x48" original oil on canvas painting of Mount Rainier by Sharon Kingston. 2020
Witness by Denise Levertov
Sometimes the mountain
is hidden from me in veils
of cloud, sometimes
I am hidden from the mountain
in veils of inattention, apathy, fatique,
when I forget or refuse to go
down to the shore or a few yards
up the road, on a clear day,
to reconfirm
that witnessing presence.
