truly spacious

New Garden Springness 2009

 

Some days there are sunbeams enough to cast shadows of exquisite lupin leaves, and some days there are grey skies behind new blossoms.

Some days buds in front of blue Beauty,
some days bird in front of grey Beauty.
Singing like an Angel.

And twice in as many weeks there were Angelic signs round this way...

Dandelion delights and woody wonders:

And these next two show a kind of in-a-nutshell version of the comfortable synergy that is me-and-my-new-Garden.
The little hyacinths in the tubs are the citykids who came with me.
They brightened the street where I lived, for many a year.
They've been joined this week by their big sisters, who just happened to be waiting in the Earth, unbeknownst to me, right next to them.

I just happened to put the city kids there.
Where they belong, now, clearly.

(All pics clickable for more juicyness, and I specially recommend that for the first one. Actually, they are all nicer bigger. Typepad is wiping out the colour and clarity on the thumbnails these days...)

Healing continues steadily and well overhere, thank you all for continuing prayers and good wishings.

And O Big Glad Welcome to Kayley, my newest friend. Not yet one day breathing air.
Welcome to the Springy world, little one. It can be rather nice overhere.

Happy New Moon to us all.

Pisces ~ ~ ~ Aries

A mosaic to wave goodbye to Piscean times, 2009, and to welcome Aries, 2009.

Happy Equinox to you, for Friday 20th March. xxx

As always, click pic to see clearer mosaicness, and click links to visit each pic and the worlds beyond.
Hearty thanks to all my genereous flickrfave photographers.

These fiery hearts have been popping up often in my recent browsings, and suddenly they sing to me too. There is a little one winging it's way to me right now. I will use it to remind me of all the kind prayers being sent on behalf of healing for my leg. So far so good, according to Nurse J this week.
Still a ways to go, but healing is definitely happening. Thank you all, again.

Here's a fine page about celebrating Spring Equinox, at School of the Seasons.

My first Springtime in my new Home with my new Garden. (6 months here already!)
Blossoms. Buds. Sunshine, sometimes. Birdsong. Such sweet Beauty.
I've taken pics, of course. Visible here as and when...

Sometimes this mosaic thing just won't leave me alone...

As always, hearty thanks to the generous photographers of my flickrfaves.
And ~ click pic for clearer mosaicness, and click links to go to individual pics and worlds beyond.

This time I used the colour tool, to get a juicy bunch of the soft greens beginning to stir my Soul.
It happens, every Spring. Suddenly, nothing else will do. Suddenly, Winter is waning, after all.

Thank You to everyone who's sent me word of prayers.
And to everyone who hasn't sent word but has sent prayers.
Truly; more spacious, more Grace-full, more Peace and more healing going on, with some help from my Friends. Thank you. Please keep em coming.

My BigBig Thanks to all these generous photo-artists, at flickr. Click pic for clearer mosaic, and links for each treasure and the worlds they open. Sgrafitto is something.

I'd like at some point to follow the shining example set by bradford66, and create a gallery of my flickrfave mosaics. Mmm. I'll put it on my list.

Meanwhile, I am going to do an unusual thing here. I am going to ask for your healing prayers.
I have a serious problem in my left leg, sores which are in need of Grace and verybigmending.
So if you are so inclined, I would greatly appreciate your prayers, your good healing intentions, your joining in with seeing a fine healed leg overhere.
I've not had this kind of thing before. I've had a few things to deal with, but not this.

Thank you for your kindness in this.

visible echoes

 

First I made a stitching for my friend Jane's birthday. She's a Dragon, she likes a bit of sparkle....
And then I made some collage.

And only when I posted pics of them together, did I see the echoes.

a sort of phase

Thanks to wordle.net for letting me play overthere.

Thanks to Mary Ann for cooking up smoke signals.

And for leading me meanderingly (via cobaltika, whose current home is cobaltika) to this delicious White on White exhibition. ("White on white follows a trend in the visual arts to reduce the art down to very subtle variations in tonality, surface or texture. Certain artists seem to pass through this as a sort of phase in their exploration.")

And for being part of the catalyst~team for my new collage, on Proper Canvas, finished tonight. My first.
Pics of it when I can get to that bit too. It's full of subtle variations.

blooms

These Beauties were here with me in the deep midWinter, a gift from a visiting pal.
And now they grace truly spacious, to celebrate
the coming of some more sunbeams, buds, and birdsongs overhere.

Getting out in the air, and seeing sunsplashes again does change the deal, eh.
As does getting a nice new tabletop easel, andandand.

There is not so much of that table visible at the moment. There are things going on, on it, now.
There will be pics. Here. B4long.

It seems, Hibernating Proper is done, and now for the creaky resurrections!
Healing continues.

"To be human
is to become visible
while carrying
what is hidden
as a gift to others.

To remember
the other world
in this world
is to live in your
true inheritance."

~ a little of WHAT TO REMEMBER WHEN WAKING, by David Whyte.
Thankyou eb for the poem and link, somewhere in your wondrous xox archives.
