All that remains...

is a shy, solitary leaf,

lamenting

in the stillness of the day.

longing for the wind,

with it comes encouragement to fall.

where it lands it will not mind,

and when it does,

bliss.

myself

the rain falls and the sky shudders...

What a little artwork can do...

Thank you all for your birthday wishes for my mom and my little gorilla. ;-)

What a time of celebration.

Celebration of life, celebration of a new season, celebration...just because!

Here are a few of my latest pieces of art...I shall be listing them on etsy soon."There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen, as if it could not be, as if it had not been!”
-Percy Bysshe Shelley

Today is my little gorilla's birthday

(yes, I guess that makes me a mama gorilla...)

He is this many ~ insert three tiny little fingers here. This afternoon I got a call from my daughter's teacher...Saying she was upset about something and wanted to come home...so I picked her up at school. She gets into the car crying and my all fired up three year old son says "no crying on my birthday! Mommy, she's crying on my birthday" ..... I tried.... I tried really hard not to laugh...how insensitive of me, to laugh, but he kept saying it, over and over...until we made it home. oh, the antics of motherhood.

I don't feel like emphasizing my imperfections, so be it.

Finally, ART.

Tomorrow is the last day of school for the week and I couldn't be happier about it. My daughter had a good day today, nothing major...although, I feel a few of my insecurities starting to surface.... my daughter asked me why her teacher is always so pretty, then continued by asking me why I never wear high heels. Me... in high heels.... not a chance.

Your comments and emails have been wonderful and helpful...thank you. thank you.

Take your peaceful feelings and go share them with others.

My yoga instructor always says that after class...I love it!
