The Lady was a Cat

I did this drawing one day when I was imagining being able to move like a cat. So I visualized shape-shifting into one. While I drew this, I was feeling a flexible catness, and then I realized that just thinking of a cat would send energy catword, and I decided a cat would know this. [...]

Close Your Eyes and Draw!

Too often drawing is another way to put yourself down. I’ve heard many people say, especially children, who are the best drawers in the world, “I can’t draw, I’m not good at it.” I want to say that drawing for me in school was a criminal offense. If you were caught drawing, that was IT. [...]

Infinity in a Snowflake

I drew this elf on a leaf, breathing diamonds.
Snow is coming. I walk on dead grass and patches of frosted leaves, small palettes of bejeweled, crystal-contoured greenery. The ground is frozen and ungiving. Snow from days ago surrounds it, and sparkles. The air is as cool as good air from higher climes, and feels fresh, [...]

Listen Carefully in the Woods (George Carver talked to plants)

George Carver is one of my heroes. He expressed so many inspiring thoughts and radiated a kindness and love during his long, devoted life of scientific experimentation and study. He’s most known for describing weeds as flowers, setting us free from our arrogance that some living things are worthy and others are not. From a [...]

Jewish Saying on “Crushed Spirits”

I read a Jewish saying that went something like this:  ”A crushed spirit leads to dry bones”. You know that feeling you get when something or someone crushes your spirit, it is a skeletal sort of sensation of life being sucked out of your framework from head to toe.  I think if we find the [...]

The Book of Love (and Saying Goodbye)

This is an angel I drew with thread.
I think there is an angel who holds a big, red book. The Book of Love. Inside the book is a list of every kind thought, word and action ever done. Love is the energy of abundant life, ever growing. I think for me, in learning about love, [...]

Westport Sketchbook: The Tracks of My Love

I noticed when we went skiing the other day, after the glorious snowstorm, that the ski poles left little heart shaped impressions in the snow. I was delighted by this, because it was the day before Valentine’s Day. All the tracks in the snow are so exciting anyway. As I ski along, using the track [...]

Seeing is Believing: Auras and Energy

I see auras. Everyone and everything has an aura, a soft glowing color around them. There are bands of color, and the colors subtly change, or in a flash. The wave of a hand causes a wonderful swoosh of glowing, colored light to radiate from the person’s hand and arm. It is a great thing [...]

Negative Vibes! Primitive Fears…

Negative vibes. When you get a bad feeling. When, instead of feeling a sense of well-being, comfort and/or joy and elation with life, you get gripped up in the stomach, feel unsure, and are likely to stop breathing deeply. This can happen in a blink. What is happening to give you this awful, uncomfortable feeling? [...]

Flower People

We had sunshine today, and I noticed a different language coming from nature. It was not the voice of winter, but a whispering little song of spring. Soon, it will fade and we’ll have more snow, sleet and rain. But it was interesting to adjust to a new attitude in response to nature today. I [...]
