seeing through
Have you ever heard that dismissal: “I can see right through that”? It’s not a nice question. It’s not meant as a compliment. But in this piece of art: I want people to see right through. I want the silk and the silk’s environment to all be part of the experience. Foreground and background playing […]
play
It was snowing yesterday and I noticed on Instagram post by my friend from long ago (Hi Neige!). She was out skiing. The snow here wasn’t blinding snow. No blurred vision. But enough snow to enjoy and … bring back more memories. Of skiing. You get triggered like this, right? You see a photo of […]
rage
Have you ever hit rage? Where this (above) becomes this (below)? (my rage scarf) I tell you, if there is one thing that will send you up a wall, it’s Lyme. It takes over your life. Not only does is hurt and steal your nights, but day after day there is this medication or that […]
it’s definitely winter
There’s snow. Beautiful snow. And then… there’s COLD. Ouch! It’s really cold. Have you noticed??? And cold is not something I grew up with in Virginia. For me, cold was associated with New England. With skiing. My mother grew up in New England and she loved to ski. At some point, she decided that we […]
ease
On the playground, do you remember wanting to be THE BEST? Jump higher, last longer. If you didn’t want that, you probably knew who did. That STRONG person. As I am recovering – now in my second year- from falling on my left hip, I see two very different practitioners: one is western medicine/ Medicare […]
space to breathe
Sitting outdoors on the ground, notebooks in hand. Maybe learning. Lots of space around. Can you feel the sweetness? We live in a fast paced era. And I’m just starting to read a book Hunter recommended (she always has the BEST recommendations). It’s called, aptly, “the Quickening”. And as I dive into it, I notice […]
yearning for green?
Do you ever feel as if the opposite season is SO FAR away? When the ground is HARD and – in Virginia, of all places! – covered in white. Do you yearn for green? More green than is offered by the evergreens, you want the shifting multitudinous greens of summer. (front and back of standing […]
it’s solstice/Xmas, etc./travel/in and out time
It’s that time! Just past the winter solstice (I did need reminding), almost Christmas/Hanukka, etc., I’m heading to Toronto… and hoping my dear partner is out of the hospital before I leave. LOTS going on. Would you say? Do you feel it too? I imagine you might. So let’s just wish each other the best […]
550 million things
Galloping across the miles. From state to state. Traveling. Traveling. Traveling. You get there. You’ve made it and then… you wait for your soul to catch up. That piece of wisdom I credit to what I read was an indigenous cultural understanding of the travel experience. True for me. Except in this tiny boat size […]
time to go
One house lit up across the lake now. There are not many people still here. It’s quiet. If it wasn’t so windy, there would be much more ice on the lake. It’s cold out this morning. 12 degrees and blowing. Time to pack my bags and head south. (night cat tote shown) You know that […]
