some days

20211018_162059

some days drawings are right there,  at the tip of the pen or pencil.  Some days like today,  not.  This kneeling woman,   circling herself with stones.  Maybe tomorrow.   Maybe i will have to wait.     And maybe that thread of Deb's is the RAIN?

it's been 4 years now.   long enough that i now have memory about Rain days.   How you need to be ready at all times….your layers of warm clothes right there,  shoes and socks already on because SUN will burst through the wet gray very suddenly and then be gone just as quickly.  When it opens,  you will want to go OUT for as long as you can.   Waste not a moment.

    This was such a fine and wise comment Maria. If life was not hard at times, how would we know when it was good…no matter where we all live, we all experience the good and the hard and what helps us get through the days is knowing that we can share our lives with each other.
    grace, Rain and more rain, may it continue. The woman kneeling, placing the circle of stones around her, claiming her place, blessing her space, giving thanks…4 yrs of living in a place so different than the previous- what holds from both is how you adapted, how you put one foot in front of the other, hands in the dirt, coaxing, hoping for the growing and it came and it comes and it continues and it is good…
    When I read Mo’s comment about did you dance in the rain and you said, no Marti does, so I got up and did a little dance in the bedroom..dealing with a cold, sore throat this weekend or I would have gone outside and danced on the patio, more than likely holding up my pot of Egyptian walking onions!

    some days the line is wild and strong, some days the line is trembling like a leaf, some days the line drips with honey, some days the line jumps with joy, some days the line is scatty and scattered, always the line is the eye heart hand connection made visible

    Grace~ What you see and what I see will not be the same, for we are two people. But, I have always loved how you draw…the gentle human element touches me. xo
