Six years have gone
I don’t know where
You are gone
And I still care
Moving on / Slow Motion
One step at a time
One year at a time
If you get the notion
Move on ………..
What can I say except I still have a difficult time thinking about and taking in the impact your leaving has had on my life, and the lives of others. You are missed and thought about, and so it is.
The path of this next season, winter in Muskoka……………..
I am sitting down to stop the intensity of “being in the creative flow” of making some new cards.
It occurs to me that when I get start to make a series of cards, it’s like an addiction. I have to tell myself to take a break, the pain usually stops me. I have been working since 11 am this morning and its almost 5pm and I feel like I have been hit by a truck. My body reacts to the standing and the bending over the table.
I have not made any cards in such a long time; and it took finding some yummy new paper when I was in Halifax to kick in the desire, the vision and then the movement into doing. Willl try and scan some cards soon.
found the picture on the weeb…………..
I love this picture of Jesus called Thy Will ……….. today my 62nd Birthday I am grateful that I have the knowledge to know that my will/ my way does not work for me. I need the Creators will in my life. And I need to say those words Thy Will be done………. or Thy will and Mine be One. Meaning that I pray that my will be aligned with the will of the Creator.I am grateful for family and friends, for well wishes and forgotten wishes. I am as God created me …………
I found this picture on the web and I find it reminds of November.
A real time of transition, as we can no longer ignore the reality that winter is here.
These past few days of mild weather has truly been a gift. Taking a long drive and listening to Marianne Williamson ……… solitude while being in motion. Noticing the colours left – before white comes the colour of wheat ….
So, I notice that each winter becomes a challange, and I am not so sure why I have that sense of things. Perhaps because spring always feels like rebirth.
I do not know who did this beautiful picture but I love the light and the dark, both are familiar.
A birthday on the rise for me. Another reason to call it a transitional time.I am grateful to be alive and to face another winter in the “near” north.
Snow and storms and cold crisp days …..
Bring it on!!
Finding our place and time in life can be sought though many different methods. One is using the medicine wheel, of which there are many.
This one, created by Sun Bear ( who published Danceing with the Wheel) is showing the stone, plant and animal that go with each month. This is very reflective of a Astrological interpretation of the months as they pass through the moon cycles.
I suppose I am drawn to this at this “birthday” month of mine. I started to draw feathers and read the above mentioned book in 1994 ……… the beginning of my path as an artist. And although many years inbetween I did nothing creative in terms of art, I suppose I was still creating in different ways.
So Snake , thistle, Malachite ………..somewhere I have a picture of two snakes I did way back then. And I have a really good piece of Malachite, which I will put on my alter, just not sure about the thistle ………..perhaps if I went for a walk……….
this drawing is by M.G. Knoch ( not sure who he is however I need to mention his name)
I hate that when I attend the Spirit Cafe’ that I come away feeling like I could not say the things I wanted to say. Not because of opportunity, instead it is the struggle to find the words.
In the conversations I know what folks are speaking of however I just do not seem to have the language.
Now a new Circle starting in Bracebridge at the home of a great facilitator. Seekers, journeying together, chasing the truth.
I suppose I just need to be grateful that I understand what others are saying and I “know” that we are on a path to a better, more spiritual life.
What a joy to be in the energy of like minded folks. A spiritual community that is not “in a box”.
Our topic last night was Spirit in Nature or the Spirituality of Nature. I was amazed at the talk of trees and grounding and how trees just are, just as I know the Creator just is.
I spoke about the roots and using that image in meditation to ground myself and then reach upwards, like the tree reaches up for the sun. Some great mete fores and analogies.
