The spine of this little notebook is like the trunk of a tree.

from your mind, heart and hands!

A book is a gift you can open again and again. Garrison Keillor

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent.
John Donne

The optimist lives on the peninsula of infinite possibilities;
the pessimist is stranded on the island of perpetual indecision.

Breathing earth…

… or heartfelt ways!
When you are relaxed and calm your heart rate slows down.
The effects are similar to when you breathe deeply.

Deep breathing can help slow your heartbeat,
making the heart work more effectively to pump blood around the body.

“Airways”
• watercolor, wax, digital effects • Lisa Rivas © 2008

Plants breath by taking in gases from
the air and give off others through pores in their leaves. It’s a
passive process, since there is no active pushing and pulling of air as
animals do with lungs.

May the wings of the butterfly
kiss the sun,
then find your shoulder to light on.
To bring you luck,
happiness and riches.

Today, tomorrow and beyond.

Things you do not use or love •
Things that are untidy or disorganized •
Too many things in too small of a place •
Anything unfinished •

Each morning see some task begin, each evening sees it close.
Something attempted, something done.
Has earned a night’s repose. Henry Longfellow

It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another.
But above all, try something. Franklin Delano Roosevelt

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!
