I wish I could be there, not only to soak in some southwest desert sun, but to hang out out a dear art friend from my Seattle days, Karon Leigh who also left the Pacific Northwest around the time my family and I left. But I will be here in Chicago trying to recover from whatever crazy bug that’s out there.
For the past two weeks my family and myself have been beseiged with this cold/sickness/plague. One after the other, we all have been taken over with fever, cough and congestion. Hopefully we are finally on the mend. Taking care of sick chldren while you yourself are sick is tough and I have been laying low, trying to recover. Hopefully I’ll be back soon with something new to share! Thanks for all the lovely comments left for me in regards to my bowl.
I have another Raymond Carver quote to share:
“And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.”
“Late Fragment”
Raymond Carver
When I read that the other day, it made me want to weep and dance and holler at the same time. I believe it was the last thing he wrote before he passed away.
Another beautiful painting!
I love everything about it….the bird, the circles, the colours, the textures…..!
Get better soon.
I love it. Your work always moves me.
Be well Sweet One…
I felt the same way about your qotes poem:
When I read that the other day, it made me want to weep and dance and holler at the same time.
I do believe I will open the Heart Work Retreat with those fabulous words…what a beautiful way to signal the passing away of the twelve months now past and the coming of the new Natural Year:
“And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.”
Yes. and Yes again…there’s nothing more to being here than to share this with one another.
hugs
be well.
Congratulations on the exhibition. This is a beautiful piece. Hope you all feel better soon!
Love your work, so mutch intresting things to look at 🙂
Sorry to hear you all have been so sick. Hope things are looking up for you and your family.
Tomorrow I head to the library to find a Raymond Carver book. Thanks for sharing his words.
Stunning work!!!
Wow. That quote is amazing. Weep and holler, indeed.
Congrats on the show- those pieces are wonderful! I hope you all feel better! xo
Thank you for sharing this piece. It is beautiful and echoes the prayer of my heart.
I think those words are on his grave. I’ll look next time I am out there.
All there really is is love.
Beautiful piece – continue to love your work. I have you listed as a MindSieve “Pick” on my blogsite along with another favorite artist – Leslie Avon Miller. Keep up the good work!
