Did you miss me?

Ok, I know 5 months is a little slow when it comes to keeping this blog up to date.

I will try to be a better blogger.

Honest.

Nothin' but blue skies......

Rivers and Tides

I recently was made aware of the work of Andy Goldsworthy and the documentary about his art and creative process. (thanks Margot) I came across the DVD at my local video store and had to rent it. I am not going to turn this into a movie review Blog, but Wow!, this is a beautifully filmed (great soundtrack also) look at at an amazing artist's work and process. I highly recommend it.

New Look

Well, it was just over a year ago that I started my "walk to far". Thought it was time for a new look. New ideas are hatching...

The Mysterious

Albert Einstein

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.

Operation

I recently had my Gallbladder removed. It slowed me down some, but now I feel my energy coming back. More photos coming soon!

Don't blow out this candle

March 19th marked the 2nd anniversary of the start of the war in Iraq.
Unlike a birthday candle, may the light of hope never be extinguished.

the prayer of St. Francis:

Make me an instrument of Peace

Where there is hatred, let me sow love.

Where there is injury, pardon.

Where there is doubt, faith.

Where there is despair, hope.

Where there is darkness, light.

Where there is sadness, joy.

Mr. T

Driving home tonight from a supper out, the kids are in the backseat getting a little loud, but it's a happy, giggling, getting along together kind of loud. We manage to get them to quiet down a bit and they begin to look out the window.

A couple of minutes later, Ben says " Am I allowed to make a wish on a star?" We say "Yes, of course, you don't need to ask permission for that."

"Well," he says "I wish my name had a ' T ' in it"

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.
