Holding onto the bike

Wow! One moment I was living my best life, feeling good, amazed at my thoughts. The next moment, I was thinking, “Don’t die in this accident,” and hitting the ground hard. I was cycling (albeit a bit too fast for someone my age, really, and not listening to the little voice in my head issuing … Continue reading Holding onto the bike

Where homework lead me

I’m completing homework tonight. I did get up and paint this morning instead of writing. It was fun to shake things up for a moment. I was thinking I’d get to write tonight, but then I remembered I had homework. And it’s homework for my art mindset class that I really want to get done. … Continue reading Where homework lead me

June snow?

I think it’s all Loki’s doing. In fact, I’m sure of it. Our temperatures here have taken a dive. It’s the middle of June and our temperatures have gotten down near freezing. I’m a little worried about my garden plants. We’ve even had snow in some parts of the state. Now, I’m close to finishing … Continue reading June snow?

Colors of the day

Blue. No creating done today. Green. Weeds pulled from the garden. Red. Car taking me to a store to buy nothing. Yellow. Pasta cooking for leftover spaghetti. Orange. A folder I pulled out to begin storing notes. Black. New pen taking those notes. Purple. A piggy bank almost purchased. Sparkly. The one ball I wished … Continue reading Colors of the day

Wind not on the schedule

I braved the wind at the farmers market today, at least until it knocked over a bunch of books. Then I tried to set up a blockade wall and removed the books stands. The wind would not be deterred by that. Finally the gusts were so strong that even lying flat with extra books as … Continue reading Wind not on the schedule

Missing

I thought of an old friend today who has been continuing her adventure on the other side of the veil for thirty years. I can’t believe how much I miss her. Almost as sad is the fact that I am almost as old as she was when she continued her adventure from this life to … Continue reading Missing

Whimsical

The green cat with wide eyes stares through the window at me. Will I come out and play or shall it come in? Who knows? We’ve had this standoff for a while now. A antique lantern creaks from the forest tree branch. Can I hear the flame crackling within? Do I see? I feel as … Continue reading Whimsical

Trampolines

I love trampolines. I recently watched a Tony Robbins special and they had a shot of him bouncing on a trampoline at the side of a stage as he was about to go back out to his audience. Seeing a man a few years older than myself jumping on a small trampoline inspired me to … Continue reading Trampolines

Creative rest – truth or fiction?

I have been thinking a lot about creative rest lately. See, here’s the thing that is a sticking point for me: energy is — it can never be created or destroyed, only transformed. I know that my connection to the energy of the All is constant and never waning. It never withdraws from me or … Continue reading Creative rest – truth or fiction?

Different

I am not appearing in the world as I want to appear. There is something fundamentally wrong and I am not where I want to be. This has been becoming evident over the last couple of weeks, but I can’t ignore it any more. It’s a truth I must face. I’m not where I want … Continue reading Different
