Cy Twombly (1928-2011)

In the background of my years in Houston is this painting.  A painting like a soundtrack.  A score.  Like a song stuck in my head, turning and turning, that passage from white to color, those fragments of words and text, that beautiful room that could, even when I thought I knew what I'd see, surprise me and take my breath away.
