Here I am at home after a mere twenty eight-hour journey from the East to the West. From the amazing willow tree across from the Deer Head in Delaware Water Gap to the huge cedar tree outside of our house. From a sultry Tuesday to a sunny breezy Wednesday. From celebrating the Solstice in Anita/Interplay style to embracing summer Orcas style. From Reiki Reiki Reiki to Art Art Art. Time to shift my focus once again. Making art here on Orcas and playing in the glorious garden. Practicing Reiki in PA and feeling so happy that the art gets seen. Thank you Delaware Water Gap! Hello Orcas!

Out of this.

Comes this.
Amazing.

I once changed my name.
It was momentous and mundane
At the same time.
Now, I apparently need another
New identity. Someone
I have never even met is saying
I must change or suffer the consequences.
What once was so important
Becomes suddenly superfluous;
And not by a direct choice,
But one that I am buying into
In order to avoid the distractions
Of caring too much about what’s in a name.
So, stranger, thank you for the invitation:
I accept.

“There is nothing – absolutely nothing – half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. In or out of ‘em, it doesn’t matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that’s the charm of it. Whether you get away, or whether you don’t; whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all, you’re always busy, and you never do anything in particular; and when you’ve done it there’s always something else to do, and you can do it if you like, but you’d much better not.”
– Spoken by Ratty to Mole in Wind in the Willows a children’s book by Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932).

Somehow it all comes together, and keeps coming together. My past, present and future. The chance to share my art work, my ability to practice and teach Reiki, the deep need to stay connected with dear friends, the desire for jazz. Feels so complete, familiar, safe. But let’s not forget the humidity, the allergies, the poison ivy. The reality. It’s all here in Delaware Water Gap, all around me. All OK. Somehow it works. Four times a year. Coming back. Time after time.
