Across the road

It is a busy time here in Gordoland. Lots of reprints, collages, dvd and designs, all to prepare Others for Christmas. It is starting to get a little more under control and I find myself thinking and preparing... I can start to see across the road.

The road ahead

I made this image on my way to Tatamagouche recently.

I feel like I am at a place where I can look ahead and travel a new road.

Blogging

I have been quietly making an occasional Blog since May and keeping it to myself, not sure why, just being shy. Well, I got my friend Rob hooked and it has encouraged me to share. I hope to post more frequently, so stay tuned...

Tatamagouche

I recently was one of 3 leaders of a photographic course at the Tatamagouche Centre in Tatamagouche, N.S. http://tatacentre.ca . It was a very enriching experience for me, it was my 1st time acting as a facilitator and I thank Margot and Frith for their support and the gifts they shared at this event. I also want to thank all who participated and shared some of themselves with the group. We are offering the program again next year, I am already looking forward to it!Here are few images taken in and near Tatamagouche. More will come.

Peace.

there must be a relationship between the eye and the heart,

With the one eye that is closed, one looks within,

with the other eye that is open, one looks without."

Hope is a choice

Hope is not a feeling; it is a decision. And the decision for hope is based upon what you believe at the deepest levels - what your most basic convictions are about the world and what the future holds - all based upon your faith. You choose hope, not as a naïve wish, but as a choice, with your eyes wide open to the reality of the world -
