I feel like I’ve taken a turn, and the road back is a long way around. I’m headed forward and that feels like a good thing. I’ve been working on leaping off of the proverbial cliff with the faith that I know that I can fly. I don’t just believe it, I know it. Have you ever discovered the thrill that happens once you leap through your fear? I love it.
This original drawing/painting is far too blatant. I felt strongly about the premise of it, however those strong feelings came through too brashly for my tastes (even though it was me that did it of course). I had fun creating several brushes, then layering textures with them. Also, by adding complimentary colors, the brash oranges and reds were softened a bit, albeit in a rather brash fashion at that. My newly created dragonfly brush helps reference the transformation the topic and the piece are going through.
In transition, in the process of transformation. I wonder often if there will ever be a time when I am not in the midst of some change. I recognized that there is either life/growth/change or there is death/shriveling/change and that there does seem to be at least one thing in common to both. Today’s formula: love=change. I just this moment realized that this is formulaic work. Probably, in another moment or two, I will realize that it is not. Even my realizations change on a momentary basis.
Before I created Serenity, I was going to hurry up and get an image up, so I first posted:
Once a doodle, always a doodle.
I chose to doodle today. Doodle day doodle all day.
This evening we played for a Fun Raiser (Yes I spelled it right) for Heifer International. It is such a wonderful concept, and I really appreciate the work that has been done by them since the 1940’s to help people help themselves. It really takes such a little bit to make a big difference. It is, like everything else we do, a choice that one makes. Today I choose the highest good. That is always joy, at some level. I think there is a mathmatical formula for it. I think it goes something like this: Gratitude+Heart+Service=JOY!

The City of Trees is full of trees mangled by two-leggeds. No matter how many branches or tops are chopped off, the trees remain stolid in their stance and their dedication to reaching skyward.
