Watching myself…
as I procrastinate getting back into the studio after being in Water Gap for two weeks. Yes, we have wonderful company to distract me. Yes, it is a very busy time. Yes, there are many weeds in the garden. And yes, there is a knowing that I need life and some rest right now to feed what can happen in the studio. So I watch myself without judgment (or at least try to keep those judgmental feelings to a minimum).
Watching the whales…
though the Orca “killer” whales are really in the dolphin family and have that same special power of communication. For the first time since we have lived here, motivated by having our friends visiting, we took a whale watch tour. It was totally magical! A very special voyage with two Orcas choosing to come as close as thirty feet from the boat. We also saw two whales breaching (not so common) and felt so honored. And we saw the 100 year old Granny Whale with her daughter and grandchildren. Oh my! Not even one good photo, but no matter. It is all in my heart and in every cell of my body. And it has everything in the world to do with making art.
Too much watching?
Inside, outside, upside down. Start to Be more. Be the watching. Take the lesson from the whales. All the rest is gone!

I returned home at midnight last night from the InterPlay leaders’ gathering in Wisconsin (never did see a cheese head though), and the competition is steep this morning. Here are the competitors:

2. Anita Bondi Designs (custom jewelry orders to be made!)
3. Wellspring Holistic Center (classes tonight: lesson plan desired!)
4. Journeys of the Heart (wedding to finish editing for Saturday!)
an easy choice, no?
5. Scout (adorable rescue dog in need of a napping partner!)
AND THE WINNER IS………

It’s not that love disappeared.
Not even close.
It’s that there has been a fresh
Blossoming of that delightful
Sensation and desire in me.
A kind of open-heart surgery
Where I am both the physician
And the patient.
The object of my re-bloomed love?
It is both you
And the me that I had drowned
In the sea of daily life
Coming back to the surface and taking in that
Full, gasping
Breath of life.

My boyfriend and I have a tandem bicycle and we love to ride it everywhere! It is our way of taking a mini-vacation together even if we only go 30 miles on winding roads close to home. Riding on the back, I often find inspiration from the scenery as it flows by at a more leisurely pace. We have great conversations while riding, we both get an amazing workout, and it makes for a great trust building adventure.

Life ranges broadly from absolute wonder
To instant tragedy. The extremes don’t always
Go hand-in-hand.
Though they do bounce off of each
Other like hail bouncing on warm pavement,
Or tides coming right up to the grassy wall
At the edge of the beach one moment and
Far out into the sands the next.
