The gift is our friendship, the thanks given to all who pass through our days and our lives.

Thank you for being part of Hockensmith’s Fine Art Edition’s tradition.

“The Gift”

The inspired gift must circulate – or it ceases to be –

becoming transformed when a possessor takes custody,

redefined in finite terms and, contained in boundaries.

This is where the extraordinary becomes mundane

and inspiration turns into property – until possession becomes

like the quirt that leaves a whelp on the mustang’s soul or,

a wounded dove held with compassion but, never let go.
