IF • Worry

May 27, 2008 · 1 Comment

Even for the "Worry Dolls" it’s a bit too much…

"Issues"

Guatemalan children tell their worries to dolls and place them under their pillows.
According to legend, the dolls take their worries away.

Chirping feathers…

This little “flock of chippers” tweets you with a cheerful greeting today!

Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent
if no birds sang there except those that sang best. Henry Van Dyke

Tomorrow a bit about gardening…

IF • Electricity

May 10, 2008 · 3 Comments

I am a being of Heaven and Earth, of thunder and lightning, of rain.

What is a soul?
It’s like "electricity" we don’t really know what it is,
but it’s a force that can light a room. Ray Charles

Jotting dots,

May 5, 2008 · 3 Comments

In the creative process the jot of a dot is usually the first and primal action.
Bubbles, pollen, seeds, are variations on the jotting of dots compulsion…
And the sun is one JOT of a DOT.

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!
