the extreme opposite of yesterday…..Warm,  SUN shining,  Shining,  skyblue sky with lazy floating clouds,  just elegant.    And a work away day.  

But

this is the goodness of this daily practice here,  so tempting to just drift in the rest of the afternoon,  but i thought i want just something small,  just a little of Going….    I'm happiest when i'm going

this belongs to Alz B whose birthday is in a few days.  She never liked it for some reason that she couldn't put her finger on.  It's the size of a generic salt shaker,  a little smaller,  and i love it because it makes me remember all the secret drifting toad and frog eggs of my time in Michigan,  in those so deeply fecund woods by the creek,  the Spring ponds.   I'm using it for water to wet the Inktense brush.

Deb Lacativa's Green that doesn't show it's vibrance here but the Light is the Light and……

GREEN.   Out there the kochia is growing STRONG.   i need to use the weed whacker and whack it before it all goes to seed.  But in this moment it is verdant and excellent and just so magnificantly GREEN,  as is Everything.  May.  May is the Green month.

Trying   to draw is so different.

    drawing the fierce brave days with hard decisive marks, the trembling sadness with barely there scratchings, the ennui with dislocated ramblings in ink & then there’s the magical in the zone moments when the ink makes the thought visible effortlessly

    I finally got out into the green myself today…down to the river and the native plant Cove Park. Friend Wendy and I took selfies with a purpose…we are joining in a community project for a video being made by my chanting friends. It’s up on the blog and I hope many others join in too. Now it’s deep night and rain again….I long for your blue skies and like the drawing very very very much

    I have been noticing the green all around you in your recent posts…a color to be treasured especially in the desert. Your beautiful drawing and your bubble vase seem alike to me.

    Isn’t it wonderful how the littlest things bring us heartfelt memories of loved ones lost. Even better when that something finds a purpose.
    Your drawing is beautiful.
