Hovering Above the Sea

sitting at the sea
she appeared to me
assuring all my dreams
light is what it seems
offering a heart stance
her light uplifted grace
though she disappeared
her light is always near

Kindling Box

readying for winter

filling my wooden box with kindling

thinking it would be nice to paint it

sitting under the autumn sun

enjoying creating art outsie

now my box has a painting on it!
today is the first day it is cold enough to use 
the kindling in this box
to start a fire
a new season has begun!

Depth of Quiet

the depth of quiet

eternal

rich

sublime

~

*

so interesting to draw/paint her

as above, a meditative expression

and 

then to lay her this way:

she slept amongst the flowers

feeling the soil as her flesh

resting in the embrace of eternity

nourished in stillness sublime

Elfin Light

it's the light that caught her eye
not the wildly fun fungi scattered in the forest
for they were her friends and she knew they were there
but the light
it called her name
whispering of the magic that ran in her veins

~

there is a lot of metallic paint in this piece
photos rarely show this fact...

Do You Believe in Magic?

the magic of a hat is just that
shape size color fabric
imbues the wearer with its spirit
she loved her emerald hat
for when she wore it 
invisible realms
revealed themselves to her
~

imagine that
a magical hat

Modern Angel

angel for a modern world

her heart and hand on the pulse

of what is tender and real

our tears touch her 

she holds space

reminding us

that love thrives beneath the surface

hips they do sway is their talk

they glide as a team

they stream and they gleam

oh how they move when they walk

Crowned in Lime

she stood out from the rest 

a shapely beauty crowned in lime

she walked tall and languid

meeting life with her heart

for she knew the treasure

of life

met with an intimate stance

I hope to share it completed this weekend.

It has been one of those pieces that has taken time

planning

redoing

figuring

learning can be like that!

I hope you are enjoying a wonderful week. 

As I write this I can hear a lone wolf calling off in the meadow...

Listening ~

 

 listening to the spirit
that lies beneath

allowing it's languid and lively presence
to permeate awareness
as well as stance

grace rises
within each breath

each step becoming vital 

a true place to allow life
to rise from

abiding in a heart of tender knowing

deep peace

~

As we enter 2011

thank you all for sharing 2010 with me
