The Art of Blowin' in the Wind

Cherry blossoms and sheets on the line... spring has come to Virginia.

I feel fortunate to live in an area where it is possible to let the sun and the breeze do the work of drying.

When's the last time you slept on sheets infused wth fresh air? Consider giving yourself a gift and hang a clothesline.

Earth as Art

Spring Equinox and so much to look forward to...how does your garden grow???
this is my garden here at 'wren house' and even with all of the work ahead there is a lot happening already...

If part of your art includes co-creating with the earth and all of her mystery you may enjoy visiting my friend Sybil, an earth angel, at Useful Gardens.

Life as Art

I love this time of year. It's winter and yet there is the dream of what will be as spring comes closer and days grow longer.

The geese are flying low over the lake and flapping wildly on the surface of the water vying for their territory.

With the voice of geese in my ear I bow in the direction of a supreme word dancer...Mary Oliver http://www.maryoliver.net/

Wild Geese by Mary Oliver

You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting — over and over announcing your place in the family of things.
