    Through her Eyes

    Vanya watches the Yule lights

    She sees, mesmerized

    Yule’s lights twinkle in her eyes

    Burnt Beauty

    Burnt stump with Ivy growing on it
    Beauty after a Fire

    Beauty embraces

    The skeletal, charred remains

    Ivy is its crown

    Tree Lights

    Autumn Leaves
    Mississippi

    Like tea lights aglow

    Leafy lanterns beckon us

    The trees light a path

    The Self

    There is a season for everything.

    We grow in spring,

    and flourish in summer.

    We gather in harvest,

    then rest through cold.

    What is no longer needed,

    falls like golden leaves.

    Beautiful in their death,

    they will again be reborn.

    Transformation has taken hold.

    That which is stronger, more radiant…

    that metal which overcomes –

    To this I say: rest and gather strength!

    Spring will come.

    And, out of winter’s frost,

    The indomitable within, will rise.

    – by Thela Foxgood

  • Color me Calm 5

    Color me Calm 5

    Art is a great way to take a time out. Whether I am making art or appreciating it, art can take me somewhere else. It’s a journey of color, space, and the creation of something blank into something more.

    I Can Flow

    Art is its own path. It can be a stilling of the mind while our souls travel to a specific location or flow and fly freely on currents of hue and shape.

    Cooling Waters

    Mixing colors and watching each slant and stroke of the brush, each pencil mark leading to the next, each tilt of a paint pour spread across the canvas, and seeing each space fill in with vibrant colors can flow into an act of mindfulness and meditation in and of itself.


    I See My Depths

    Inspiration, imagination, and creativity express themselves.

    BLUE: water, cleansing, flowing, cooling, emotions, sleep, peace, serenity, sky, zen…

    What does blue symbolize to you?

    Meander

    Forest Path
    Meandering this earthy river …

    Advice from a River

    -by llan Shamir-

    Go with the flow

    Immerse yourself in nature

    Slow down and meander

    Go around the obstacles

    Be thoughtful of those downstream

    Stay current

    The beauty is in the journey!

    Under Umbrellas

    It has rained a lot here and I liked the thought of frogs using these flower heads as their umbrellas. There were a few days I wished I was small enough to fit under a flower. 😊

    Tree Gazing

    Looking up at the leaves and branches

    Memories

    Holding one child on a hip, and one by the hand – we gather under the trees.

    β€œShh, listen!” The wind stirs the leaves. β€œThe trees are clapping their hands!”

    Coloring on an app, like Happy Color, is a nice way to be able to color wherever I am at. It’s nice not to have to haul art supplies around with me for those middle-of-the-day zen breaks. I enjoyed all the colors in this one!
