intensity/calm (we hope)
I think it was when I first was introduced to astrology years and years and years ago that the concept of the time you were born – or that times at all – had a particular energy, and that this moment was part of a larger moment of all that was happening in the universe. […]
blessings
Do you ever have days that SOOOO much happens you need time to process? Like love. And death. March 10 was that kind of day for me. It was my birthday: I was flooded with such heartfelt warmth. Moments to take in and cherish. Moving. And that day, I heard that my dear dear friend, […]
the light in between
We’ve been through some pretty challenging weather lately. In all kinds of ways and all kinds of fronts. Let’s take a pause. We never know what’s ahead. But it’s changing. And – it’s spring: there’s more daylight every day. Let’s let in some of our own light. It’s in between weather. There are gaps in […]
colors singing/colors hiding
Lying on my desk: colors. An invitation to a good time. What to explore this time? I choose purple moving to pink. Shall I add a few bllossoms? Yes. It’s okay, but something’s missing. Not quite right. Not singing. This is MUCH more to my liking: I see the red flower hitting the same note […]

loving color/playing with words
Who doesn’t love to play? For me…I love to play with color. And I love to play with words. I work with silk: that I dye and paint as my art form. And I know that this precious material comes from China. And that art in China has a whole different history than ours : […]
not easy times
These are the woods after the latest snow – ice – rain – wind storm. Ouch! The walking is difficult to say it mildly. I just got these really good crampons and THANK GOODNESS! I could walk on a piece of glass with these, it seems. Underfoot it’s glass that at one step might break […]
seeing through colors
Do you every take an idea and run with it? You love how you can take it further. And then further. Run, run, run! I’m still playing with this seeing through idea. The backdrop for my fascination with how you see is this: I didn’t have 3D vision until my eye operation at age 3. […]
