Daffodil Time

Wednesday, May 15th, 2013

It is daffodil time, so the robins all cry, For the sun’s a big daffodil up in the sky, And when down the midnight the owl calls “to-whoo”! Why, then the round moon is a daffodil too; Now sheer to the bough-tops the sap starts to climb, So, merry my masters, it’s daffodil time. –Clinton [...]

Where I’m At

Monday, May 13th, 2013

Where You Stand

Thursday, January 3rd, 2013

Accept indeterminacy as a principle, and you see your life in a new light, as a series of seemingly unrelated jewel-like stories within a dazzling setting of change and transformation. Recognize that you don’t know where you stand, and you will begin to watch where you put your feet. That’s when the path appears. -John [...]

‘Twas the Night Before Solstice

Thursday, December 20th, 2012

Let Let Bloom

Monday, December 3rd, 2012

“Observe your own body. It breathes. You breathe when you are asleep, when you are no longer conscious of your own ideas of self-identity. Who, then, is breathing? The collection of information that you mistakenly think is you is not the protagonist in this drama called the breath. In fact, you are not breathing; breath [...]

Friday, November 30th, 2012

Hoot and Holler / 8.5″ x 11″ pastel and mixed paper collage Like some winter animal the moon licks the salt of your hand, Yet still your hair foams violet as a lilac tree From which a small wood-owl calls. -Johannes Bobrowski This is the end of Art Every Day Month 2012. I really enjoyed [...]
