artwork and musings

'...the more time you spend trying to meditate, the more time you have, because you bring more attention to the things that you're doing. Attention, expands time. If you bring more attention to a moment, then that moment is much longer. There's more that you can bring to the moment, more that you can take out of it. '

but i love it
letting that thought
guide me

grabbing hold
of the
thread
as it
transforms my breakfast
from a simple wedge
that nourishes
quenches
and becomes
the partial orb 
that found itself on every drawing
of childhood

taking an ordinary day
and making it
extraordinary

could be the blizzard conditions
could be work cancellations
whatever it is
i'm feeling
giddy as a school girl
(yes! i said it!)

an explosion of emotion
that is enhanced
by the
light
created by that
amazing orb 
making its appearance
after the great snow
as if to say

everything's gonna be alright
see for yourself

one has only to look
at some examples
of contemporary art
to see
that what was true in my childhood days
still holds today
I Love...
sunshine!
(upper left corner)
totally changes the mood
from
scary cat to
playful antics
smiling
happy faces
and
of course!
the sun is shining
in the upper left-hand corners

once again
its all about the
light source
most recently
a get well card
brought to me
during the peak of illness
by my brave daughter-in-law
because
it was so important to
my girl Kierstin
who
wanted 
needed
me to have it
ASAP
because she wanted me to know
what i already knew

i am loved
holding hands
happy
 healthy faces
hearts
and
a whole lotta
sunshine
so bring it!

the snow
the wind
but as long as there is
plenty of light
i will find
 new insight
clarity
and
the attention
enhanced by meditation

the attention
that expands time

and the moments
in turn

will be
 given their
due.
