The Art of Distraction #1



Sometimes when the day starts off foggy, grey, lacking in focus and clarity, 
there's just no other option but to find your colours,
whether they be paint, cloth, clay or collage ~ whatever?
Just so long as they fully submerge the grey stuff, 
if you know what I mean?

Actually Mary came to me with this by way of ~

"It's never too late to be happy, but it's all up to you and no one else"

Sending to ~
Mornings with Mary

Yes, I do know...

Your photograph is truly
exceptional...wow!
♥♥
Wonderful photo. Wonderful transformation! The bottom
piece looks like it has a
dragonfly - symbol of joy
and light, and expressing
ourselves creatively! :)
Very nice...

"to find your colors" - i love this way of thinking and breaking through the gray of a day. today, it was bright but spotted with rain and grayness - and amid it all i found myself straining to find a rainbow across the sky. seeking that possibility of color.

dear one,
you truly are a harbinger of light. i remember england's pewter skies, all those gray low hanging clouds. quieting the colours of life with a heaviness that seemed to cling to all the edges of life. now, through knowing you; when i think of england all i see is an outpouring of jubilant light!
you colour my world beautiful!
"Now" is an opportune time to be happy, don't you think? :)

Tsunami of Graces
Aaa ah the art of happiness!

Yes. We are responsible for our own happiness. Looking inward shows our answer. Outward happiness from others is only fleeting.

and for me.. sometimes the colours are in the fog :)
I am learning, slowly, to sit with the foggy and dark times.. because for me, there is where i find my wisdom and clarity.. and yes, often Mary is there sitting with me patiently xoxo
your photos are absolutely brilliant!!

Haiku my Heart #42 - Shine on

t'was just a sparkle peeping through the blacks and grey it filled my whole eye .... My daughter's car stands motionless on our drive, she is in hospital with severe stress symptoms. It has been a dark week, yesterday I noticed a sparkle reflecting off of her car through my window. She's been rattling up and down the motorway for the last year everyday to the job she loves and is fighting hard to keep. The car had so many rattles, now fixed by my love, it's washed, polished and resting-up waiting for her return. For more haiku poetry Visit Recuerda mi Corazon

Off on my travels, not before I say 'here here' to Rebecca's words, ...over at  Haiku my Heart Recuerda mi Corazon

Haiku my Heart #49 ~ Numbers

 After yoga yesterday we discussed significant numbers, today being Friday 13th, unlucky for some they say! On the other hand the year 2012 is said to be an auspicious year, The Chinese Year of the Golden Dragon, taking place only once every 60 years .  It also happens to be a leap year so  that means the possibility of climbing my same old staircase an extra time this year! The number 300 is significant too  this being my  300th post!  whilst yesterday the 12th was my blog birthday 2 years! So what do these numbers all amount to? Can I count on them to calculate my life? Or are they just markers of time,  as illusory as my shadows? shadows behind me  light always falls to the front  illuminates now sending to  Postcards from Paradise Recuerda mi Corazon BTW this is my 49th Haiku  I'm sure this is a significant number! ;~) PS I'm really getting into this numbers thing,  apparently 7 is the perfe...
