It was only after I spent a few months in Italy carving marble, that it dawned on me out-of-the-blue one day where the word comes from – It comes from the word in Latin meaning ‘grace.’ When I was in … Continue reading
I used to get panic attacks all the time. I never knew to call them that. I just thought I was being stupid-overanxious. A friend of mine had a monstrous panic attack a few days ago. When I read what … Continue reading
Why Pyramid? Well – the word just popped into my head. So there it is! I had been looking at a lot of Egyptian art lately – think maybe it had some kind of influence? Nah, I don’t think so. … Continue reading
Today I had a long list of got-to-do items. I didn’t do a single one of them. Instead, I got hung up in watching some of the save-the-horses reels on facebook. It completely blows my mind how people just throw … Continue reading
Did you know that cheetahs have part dog DNA? I wonder who did that – it was a long, long time ago, whoever it was! But it’s why they have such long legs and such a small head in proportion … Continue reading
I was listening to one of the Beatles’ albums tonight and their Blackbird song came up. I ‘saw’ this image right off, and hadda draw it. I love the colors! Enjoy. … Continue reading
Yesterday I told you how I found out about transforming the perpetual, unrelenting pain in my back into mere background noise, rather than full-front, attention-grabbing annoyance and agony. Simply by wishing blessings upon it. And then upon all of me. … Continue reading

I’m not feeling particularly nice today – like my Nice costume got eaten by moths in the closet. . So I’m left with my Real Self, which has a red face, sharp teeth and unpadded words. Ever have a day … Continue reading

I find solace from the woes of the human world by being in nature. Even if it’s only standing on my door stoop, taking time to take breaths of not-house air. I’m reminded today about the first time I did … Continue reading
Why? Because sometimes life is short, hard, and brutal. And some people only get a few chances at The Good Stuff. And some people get mowed down, their lives cruelly cut short. It’s sad and discouraging to think people value … Continue reading
When I was a kid, I used to love watching the resident raccoons wash their food. I thought they were the most fastidious critters I’d ever seen. Then one morning on my way past the trash bins on my way … Continue reading
In our not-too-long-ago past, there used to be little fishing villages where the guys go out every morning and come back with their boats laden with fishies. When they return at dusk on the rosy horizon, the women and chilluns … Continue reading
