Raindrops, not tears,blur my vision –the line of trees before mea glistening blur.The pounding in my templesis just the steady rhythmof watery drip, drip, drip,not the incessant roarof my blood pounding –discordant is this day.

It also means that winter, for the most part, is behind us, and for these snowbirds, it is time to go home. Here in Texas, wildflowers are popping up along the roadside in shades of neon orange, purple, white, and yellow. I have been busy photographing and editing the images to create new designs. I […]

Arting People

March 21, 2019.Reading time 2 minutes.

Faces and bodies intimidate me, when it comes to art. So I decided to start simply, with this computerized sketch (featured) made from an old photograph of one of my girls.

Self-Portrait and Mountains

March 7, 2019.Reading time 2 minutes.

Many moons ago, I won an award for my artistic talents and was immediately counselled to drop the art program. That same year, I wrote my first novel, and after it was graded, I burnt it. I wasn’t meant to be creative, I decided, and obediently signed up for advanced math and other academic subjects. […]

Shopping Saturday

March 2, 2019.Reading time 2 minutes.

I promised I wouldn’t inundate this site with our new adventure, however, the thrill of seeing my own designs on products merits sharing. Trouble is, I want to buy everything. So far, we’ve purchased a mug, a tote bag, a carry-all pouch, leggings and a t-shirt. We’re pleased with the quality of products, and can […]

No Going Back

Broken, we embrace – you slowly hole away, explore a laughing woman, lie with her of like poetry When you awake my self is clouds their windows dark but for glass – no-one could end this. (Magnetic Poetry seems to keep dragging me into the past. If you want to try it, the link is […]

I Need a Bridge

The gap widens – the life I’d envisioned washed away by current reality – widening span. I need a bridge – expansive enough to carry wishes, to facilitate movement of passing ideals, allow for traffic flow. Or a bridge to slow me down, help me re-align, directing me toward a new road, encompassing change. (Image […]

As Water Flows

Water flows, and my mind wanders, relinquishing thoughts and worries. Water flows, and I surrender to the blessing of life’s journey. Water flows, and I acknowledge the fluidity of emotions, change. Water flows, and I experience the continuum of life’s cycles. (It is Springtime here in SW Ontario, and this is the first morning since […]
