Showing Up

He testifies his courage
every moment he shows up
present for life
Even when he’d rather
be completely immersed in a book…

Eternity of Gratitude

One foggy morning…
a stillness had overcome me
Not silence, for I could hear their breathing
I looked up and was surrounded
an honoring, a peaceful moment
One small eternity of gratitude
welling in my heart
Then, a noisy neighbor
startled deer into flight

Life’s Purpose

He remained on purpose
Even as he scuffled about
performing life’s little errands
His life’s purpose

ever reigned…

Life Takes Over

Sometimes…
Life just takes over
like a speeding car
with a stuck accelerator
And , then I breathe
Here is the apex moment
where the choice arises
Fight in fear and anger
or surrender to God
And, then I breathe
Centering in being and doing
what I am guided to do

And life takes over…

Spirit Wind

Spirit Wind

Like a wisp of smoke
on the wind
My prayers
lifted into Spirit
Only to manifest
as rainbows in my heart

Beautiful Feelings

Feelings rise up and out
charging forward
a herd of wild horses
Best expressing the beauty
of their existence
when running free
unhampered by judgmental fences
• • •
Unconditional love
flows like water
takes on the form of its container
I am an open faucet…

Frosty Gaze

Morning frost bit
even as it decorated
every leaf and tendril
• • •
Lake choppy later
now dark and still
Water smoothing corners
wherever they threatened
with its chill countenance
• • •
Heart awakened
by hooves trampling
regained composure
as gaze partook
Snuggled deeper
in the depths of sleeping bag

Points of Light

He had his way of doing
and she had hers
Like stars in the night
there were points of light
where both ways intermingled
Tolerance and love
solved the rest
except those few that required

a good dose of humor

Moondancer – Dancing with the Moon

Moondancer

MoonDancer

Standing in the pristine land
moondancer dances
where incessant nurturing

waves of grass
were cuddled by wakened sky

The sun and the moon
strove to attain equal status
A shift in her consciousness
just happened
Whereupon…
she instantly knew how
to listen with new ears
and dance with the moon
on feet held up by dreams

Artist Notes

MoonDancer is an initial transitional piece, created as I moved in my media choices from watercolor and prismacolor pencils on paper, through watercolor and prismacolor pencil on watercolor ground on canvas, into transparent liquid acrylics and Blick pencils direct on canvas.

I used the Golden absorbent ground on a recycled canvas. I was just starting to play with different grounds at this point. Meanwhile, I was using the same watercolor techniques that I have developed over the years.

I drew the initial sketch for MoonDancer in less than 2 minutes, loosely with the paint brush. Light-hearted, whimsical and joyous – this is what I was feeling as I painted.
