Moon Over Morroco

Jack Flanders. A character in a few of the radio theater shows put out by ZBS Productions. Wonderful³. And one day in Jack's adventures he finds himself standing at a gate. He can barely read what's written on it, but finally makes it out. "Standing in the Shadow of One's Own Light".

Studio today and I'm running between a sense of lost and a feeling of not being able to get out of my way. I think it's doubt. ok. I know it's doubt.

And then trickle trickle trickle something appears in my creative vision and the breathing changes right along with the change in time. It returns to puddle. It makes no difference. It, of course, does not exist and my senses are just fine with it. And whether I am the dream or I am the awake is a question that has no place here but to make me smile.

And then the clock strikes time to go to a work training and I put aside the satori of the moment and pack up. Damn I can't wait to come back tomorrow and be just as lost, or in doubt, or enlightened.

Idyllic Days of Discovery

I've been sampling and creating and sitting against a tree by the canal.... listening, watching, being. But there are a couple of other things that are so glorious. One is my beautiful partner who is busy in her own worlds and passions and who so thoroughly enjoys me being able to be busy in mine. And then of course there is our son, Felix.

Now there is a joyousness to behold.

And art. Damn, I love that opening.

This one about Focus and Direction. Directions. East, West, North, South, Above, Below, Within.

And one more, just because I'm so inspired to share today. This one I call Organism.

Millions of monarch butterflies travel to ancestral winter roosts in Mexico's shrinking mountain fir forests. Surfing winds from southern Canada and the northern U.S., they travel thousands of miles, taking directional cues from the sun.

And so it begins.... again

I have a new studio!!! At first it was all neat and tidy but that's all changed. I'm learning new things every day so there are at least 3 things going on all at once all the time. I love being ADD. Makes me feel whole.

So my Etsy site is humming along. No sales but I don't really care. Of course I'd be delighted if someone were to take one of the creations home with them but that's not what this is about. It's about that place. That opening. That satorical place of flash in the pan enlightening joy of creation.

This one, The Gods Must Be Crazy, hammered and woven silver over water glass. Damn, I love Light!
