the wide white empty

Today the earth is pressed against this wide white emptiness and there is still this gap in me, this hesitation.
I’ve been thinking about painting.

I remember in college making the best art when given many rules.
The still life was constructed. The lighting already determined.
Stand here. Paint that.
And so I did.
My fear was the blank canvas and nothing to paint.
