  • A letter to the President

    Tuesday, March 25, 2008

    Mr. President
    Please. Tell me this Mr. President.
    Do you really care?
    Can you really feel the pain,
    Without ever being there?
    Have you ever lost someone,
    Closer than just a friend?
    Brother, sister, daughter, son.
    Have you ever lost someone?
    Do you know how it feels,
    To have your heart ripped out?
    Nothing else could hurt so much.
    It causes hope to turn to doubt.
    There are no words to explain the pain.
    Searing h...

    Sometimes I go a little overboard with the henna.  I hate to waste it you know and once I make it, I only have a few days to use it before it's staining ability is compromised.  I stayed up all night painting and musing and I am running on pure caffeine this morning.  It is lovely outside today and I still have some henna left so...I wonder what else I can paint on myself?&nbs...

  • ALONG THE WATER FRONT
    Waves smacking the rocks
    Gulls flying high above me
    Drift wood scattered fro
    Foam and weeds  blanket
    Salt the taste of breezy air
    Clouds float high above
    I walk slowly on
    Take the scene in as I go
    Along water's edge
    Boats away from shore
    Sails luffing as they change course
    Then take up the wind
    My dog besides me
    We walk further the beach
    The suns warmth on us
    At a bench we stop
    To r...

    Sunday, June 21, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Under the wild waves
    There exists  a peaceful place
    Where fish play and eels glide
    And turtles slowly race
    Corals and plants grow
    Below the surface and sun
    Completing a scene of wonder
    Look what my hands have done...

  • Dream Catcher

    Saturday, August 8, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

    This past week my art therapy group worked on making dream catchers. We used instructions from a website called nativetech.org. The project though it looks intricate was actually not too dificult to pick up. We added beads in the web to symbolize the things we wanted to catch in the web.  Either the bad things we wanted to stay out of our dreams or the good things we wanted to focus our drea...

    It was very peaceful there.

    This garden had many lovley flowers, but I found this one especially interesting so I took it's pi...

  • This sums me up - but I didn't write it

    Wednesday, August 19, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Thinking about all that's happened on the board and in my life lately I remembered this poem and how it speaks to me and reflects my values.   I may not be 'of a piece,' but every aspect of me as far as I can discern embraces the values contained here.  I do not always live up to these ideals; I do not lust for glitz but rather for patina and strive to achieve it on my ...

  • I love to go to the zoo...

    Sunday, August 23, 2009

    One of the most enjoyable day trips I love to take is to grab my digital camera
    and go to the zoo.  These pictures I took over this past weekend at the
    Point Defiance Zoo.
    Imagine my surprise when I looked at the photo and saw what I
    snapped. I just love this picture.
    Another great picture that happened by accident. I love the expression
    of the girl looking at this moon jelly fish.
    The Octopus wa...
