…going to Gray Beach

June 17, 2015 · Leave a Comment

I created 12 mini booklets (with writings) from folded sheets of paper.
(a beautiful way to follow a stream of consciousness)

Booklets-I

There’s so much more to a book than just the reading. ~ Maurice Sendak

GreyBeach-draft-all 
I then selected the “Gray Beach” booklet to fledge out.
It became a poem… more next post.


The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient.
One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach – waiting for a gift from the sea.
~ Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Did the sky bloom?

A snow day literally and figuratively falls from the sky,
unbidden, and seems like a thing of wonder.

Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only.
Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.

Ice sparkle & twinkle…

February 21, 2015 · 1 Comment

An Ice Storm can be the super ice sparkle for your eyes.


It is one of nature’s most beautiful and wonderous  of winter storms;
with it’s glistening stems and branches all woven up with threads of ice. 

Just have some good storm-boots on those feet!

It occurs to me now that I have never seen the ice-storm put upon canvas,
and have not heard that any painter has tried to do it.

I wonder why that is.
Is it that paint cannot counterfeit the intense blaze of a sun-flooded jewel?
Following the Equator ~ Mark Twain

Love is Life!

“Love is a basket full of nuts and berries.

I know, because I gathered them from the forest myself.

but when captured in the heart the memory lives forever.”

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
