about to (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 […]
2020! again

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. Grand resolutions. My resolution? Well, look at 2019. What I want is, quite obviously, more color. Okay, yeah. […]

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 […]
deep down

Peaches. On the beach. You know she has company because – well, all those give-away footprints in the sand. Althought footprints can last awhile, even in sand, you know we are there with her. With Peaches. And that feeling of “with” comes with my art making as well. I sit down to create and I […]
who you are

Yesterday I was talking to a dear friend about my busy busy life this summer and she said to me:”You’ve forgotten who you are.” It kind of hit me like a bolt of lightening. Unexpected and right to the core. It was so true that it shifted everything instantly. I had “forgotten” I was an […]
