working into the night for the upcoming Yuletide Bazaar... Beading, wire working, felting the banner, packaging cards & prints and LOTS and LOTS of painting! ~

Having fun in the urban sunlight.. :)

Slow windy days 

pasted across a fogged southern ontario day

gazing precariously into the never ending sea of parked four wheelers

 Starbucks coffee cup in hand

soothing winter pre told

loneliness

with an abundance of self

it seems there is no room for

anyone else

Ray Lamontagne's Gossip In The Grain.. 

late night music choice

Always late for tea 

Never bothers to ring lately 

Says the silly Sparrow, 

'There's gossip in the grain, 

Have you heard the...Oh you don't say.' 

'Someday, 

Someday, 

A snow shall fill the trees 

You'd best make warm the eves.' 

Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.

And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.

A Moment In Memory 2010

And how else can it be?

The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.

Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven?

And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

Kahlil Gibran
