muse

picking and eating these from a bush outside my door
this morning for breakfast
brought me here:

I offer these today as a reflection of a beautiful sunday summer morning:

• to eat?
• to learn?
• to inspire?
• to dream?
• to float?

this beautiful hand painted spindle will be on its way to a new home soon!
created by talented spindle maker Jen at Crowhill House Fiberworks.
who can resist?
turning colorful fluff into a yarn of changing hue with such a lovely tool.

I feel a collection coming on…..
oh, and Jen does knitting needles as well.

more:

• how (check out the ICANSPIN link at the bottom of the page)
• a second how
• the last how
• why
• an anachronistic when
• when

ok, is it just me or does anyone else find the whole concept of Wikipedia kinda curious?

is the shortest distance between point “A” and point “B” a straight line?
along the path echos of old ways:
resound
reverberate
repeat
reflect
rebound

is it folly to think it might not ever be?
bonkers
daft
touched
foolish
inappropriate
or are we moonstruck?
…….ditto.

have you seen the beads?

the eyes are the window to the soul:
kindred soul
simple soul
bare your soul
trusting soul
heart & soul
vital core
essence

member of my tribe.

• echos, bubbles and butterflys
• halos, black holes and spirals
• clouds, swans and fireworks

be in awe of the form rather than a slave to the narrative content.
take the leap of faith.
it’s high summer and time for a walk on the wild side.

abstract ideas:

• happiness
• fate
• beauty
• love

and
my
personal
favorite
in
the
moment: truth

helpful?

• color
• color

is it thinking outside of the box?
is it about the internal dialog igniting the visual poetry?
or is it all just smazy? 

grey areas:

• graffiti
• portrait in want, consumption and fulfillment
• “still life”

circumnavigating the whorl

of interest?

• moon phases
• circle symbolism
• rock art
• modern sculpture
• star spiral

for some reason all this invokes the work of: Ned Kahn

delicately balanced elements set in motion by even the softest breezes
reminding us of the dualities in life:
days of fixed calmness mingled with fluidity and change.
 

so reminiscent of sculptor Calder. 

• mobiles
• stabiles
• jewelry

dipping into the stream of life 

early bright to eventide
