negative space

I just said good-bye to a dear friend. She was here for weeks. And during that time, she was – shall we say – very present. She is someone who is foreground. Full on. Not someone to go unnoticed. While she was here, I was playing with the small rolls of fabric I had on […]

just about (with photo)

Remember when you were small and you were told something was “about to” happen? Something really fun. Something you loved to see. Like snow coming. You looked out the window. Waiting. It was about to snow. It was about to… tied to some deliciously anticipated event. Yes. I’ve been doing a lot of “about to” […]

My daughter, Nika, and her husband and baby were moving today. All the many pieces of furniture and clothing and books, etc. were being shifted from one house to another. Moving belongings – one by one. It’s amazing how many items we realize we have when the grouping that happens in a home is taken […]

Okay, this is Peaches looking back at 2019. So yesterday. Right? We are now – yes – at the year 2020! And that has to feel good. So good that I keep hearing people talking about resolutions.

If you wonder what Peaches and I were doing at 12:12 on December 12, you can see for yourself. We were contemplating the profound, inner workings of this place and time. We were thinking about the mystery we were born into. The mystery that surrounds any being when they pass on. And the total mystery […]

Day 2? Day 3 in Bath, Maine? I drove over from Squam Lake a few days ago. It’s a 2 and an half hour drive, guaranteed to be at least that long because it’s 2 lane and, well, why hurry along a scenic New England road? Especially if you are driving a delivery truck. With […]

joy

Joy. Waiting to be filled. Right? Don’t you put joy at like the TOP of the feellings spectrum? Wishing you a joyful holiday. Wishing you a life full of joy. Yes. In my understanding of joy, there is ease. There is contentment. And there is serendipity. That sense of: this is the life I want […]

more than one

Look at the color of the leaves on that tree. Yellow, right? That’s what the camera is showing us. Yes. But this time, instead of using your camera, you walk up to the tree. You look at the leaves. You see that the sun is highlighting the yellow. But there is a lime green, a […]
