Velvet Sleep
Velvet Sleep
Last night I went to sleep in a velvet dress my eyelids occupied in a forever state of unknowing/uncaring which path dreams would tread
There, on that hill of understanding (or perhaps, merely familiarity) one only knows the muses whispers
Comfort sweeps the psyche releases all the little sticky things
Grounded
Grounded – Still Reaching for the Stars
Plunked down to Earth
another one due to angel school
Ever energized and fed
cosmic energies flowing through
Joy response in the heart bubbles
up as circumspect as driblets do
No hesitancy detected nor intended
still reaching for the stars as they flew
Grounded each fiber of self rooted
through Earth to return as shiny beings anew
Bear Herself
Bear – Herself
Bear bows and dips
Pokes and delights
Ever fierce, passionate
Always loving, alive
Bear bless all
Carrys our prayers
Bear walks with wind
knows the medicine
keeps our secrets
tells our tales
Always dancing awake
Dreaming in the cave
Bones
There’s wisdom in your bones…
solid strength kind of wisdom…
holds you up…
You are built
upon a foundation
of wisdom
Lean on it
lean on your spine
and breathe
Let the wisdom
ooze out
through your pores
Tied by Chords
One note soft, but strong
lilts into another, loud and long
a vibrational path gleaming
all the beauty of the souls’ song
Tied together by chords, like threads
slender strings all inter-webbed
Other voices soulfully weaving
emotions sounded – joy, anger,
pleasure, dread, a shift in rhythm
As a new pattern emerges,
dancers leap with passions urge
weaving strings of life’s meaning
Lacy blends from funeral dirge
through ponderous celebration
into delights ministrations
Spontaneously
Spontaneously, they ran off to some
exotic little sun and sand beach,
at coconuts
and played in life
for the long final act.
I just read an article about Vincent Van Gogh. It told about how his sister-in-law was responsible for making him famous after the two brothers had died. She was able to get people to finally appreciate his work by sharing his letters which told all about what he was feeling and experiencing as he painted his works.
Somehow, that knowledge informed how I put this piece together (e-collage). Comprised of several of my older pieces, it has the feel of a family reunion of sorts, yet it is a completely new piece. That’s one of the fun things about painting collage on my computer.
Moment Seeds
One thing that
always comes up
is the little seed of
life within each moment
each situation
each eternity
This napkin was in a bag of napkins that Marshal had found, not yet published.
Mystery
There is a mystery
surrounding the question
or its’ origin, its’ destination
and so she sat with the what its
until her head was spinning
yet always
her heartbeat was steady
Snagged
“Don’t get snagged for long,” she said.
“On sharp little thoughts aggrieved
or spent on consternations path,
For every pulled thread provides a
God line, a reminder of our humanity,
and still the weaving, warp and weft,
continues to describe the pattern of our lives.”

Snagged – original napkin
I’ve been doing my creative work without posting it (for the most part) for the last several years, because I was working on pulling all of my different websites together into this one. Recently, my husband found another stash of my Daily Napkins which had not yet been published. At the same time, I’ve been wanting to challenge myself to some “daily” creative practice once more.
A lot of my recent work has involved layering – both directly on a canvas, and digitally with a variety of pieces of different original works. As in this one, I will post pics of the components, if I have time or inclination.
Be-Bop Buddha
He’s a be-bop Buddha
snazzin’ that jazzin’
all the day…
Got tunes and licks
running round
in his brain
Yeah!
Happy Buddha face
