Virgins, Creativity & Gratitude #1

lead on cardboard

Today marks the second series of 
a
'Virgin a Day'
hosted by Rebecca over at 
Having exhausted my visual Virgin 
references last year I thought I might try to 
create my own virgins this time,
a tall order I know,
 a challenge even, but I have faith!  

I have set my intention to create 
one Virgin per day
X 12

It's been years since I picked up a pencil 
to just draw, I had forgotten how
 satisfying this can be.


What came up from this drawing?

'Simplicity' 

Yes I'm grateful for coming to 
appreciate the beauty of simple
in a complex world.

Intention:   Seek out simple solutions.

You may not have picked up a pencil in years, but what you drew is enchanting. I look forward to more. I also like how you have woven gratitude in with the twelve days. Lots of food for thought.

Dear Ms. Foxy.. She is beautiful. Her simplicity just makes her more intrigueing. I love it. I know I am drawn to Mary for several reasons. My mother loved Mary so, and I believe she has lead me to a more peaceful existence over the years, but the biggest drawe l;ately has been the art. I don't believe there can ever be something with her image that I didn't like. Yours is grand.

Peace, Love and Hugs dear friend, and thank you for your support during my recent heart episode.
Dearest Sue,
Such love enveloped here in the mother's face in in the face of the child seeking its mothers embrace. The drawing is simple; it is also deeply heart opening. Beautiful. What a lovely meditation.
So glad you are here.
xoxo,
Noelle
Bravo(a)! I hope you do meet your challenge as I am selfish and would like to see what you come up with each day.
There is much love in both these faces...

i LOVE that it got you to pick up a pencil again, and that you found it satisfying.
it's like honouring a part of ourselves, saying, i haven't forgotten you completely.

Continuum

A Continuum ~> continual sequence of ~> elemental change ~> By far this is the most difficult post written by myself, ever. I have not visited this place for sometime... I have been 'lying low' as an old friend used to put it, not low through depression or anything like that but since my love passed away parts of my known world have passed too. I have difficulty recognizing the landscape around me, I'm lying low so that I can absorb some of the new terrain. I am still quite dizzy, it's going to take some time... Much of what I wrote about here in this space would involve a brief glimpse of 'my love' and our life together. I had thought of closing 'Finding my Bliss', for a pivotal part of everything this blog has stood for seemed on the surface of things to be missing! But as the days have come and gone I am beginning to look at things in a different light and although I am grieving for my love I find I am l feeling his prese

Warrior Woman Detour

Yearning clear blue skies to brighten the road for ease, to step light of heart... Detour intersect is warrior woman's path she must tread alone, her only companion Om lifts a weighted heart... feeling vibrational warmth, she lights momentum... My heart is weighed down at the moment, we are waiting for scan results, my love has been in constant debilitating pain since before Christmas, I'm having a nasty IBS flare-up, I'm doing warrior woman work! I am grateful for this Friday morning ritual ~ Haiku my Heart, it is a wonderful distraction from the everyday, focusing on and fitting feelings into 575 syllables... Thanks to our Rebecca for hosting ~> Haiku my Heart Recuerda mi Corazon
