This was not planned ahead. My daughter found out at midnight she had to work early this morning. Hmm, I have to go along the boulevard to drop her off at work, I will take my camera, walk, then relax.
Nothing like an early morning stroll, not many people, and I can be alone with my thoughts.
Well there were a few people, still it was very relaxing!

Patience!!
I have my moments…there are times I will stand at the microwave, feet tapping and questioning why is it taking so long. Then there are the days when Job and I are twins. Sunday was one of those, nothing went right, as I was about to post my article for 1stAngel Arts Magazine when my computer crashed. I will be the first to tell you, I have no patience with electronic equipment, but that day I sat quietly went through all the steps for my computer to reboot…Nothing! All this began at 9am. Well, instead of grumbling, groaning, and the irrational tossing, I quietly took my paint brush and went to work on my eisel. Later at 7pm, I gave Dell a call, they walked me through the necessary steps to have my system working again.
What’s my point, you ask…My point is this….situation, cirucumstances and life’s issues can cause us to make irrational decisions. If only when things go wrong, we could stop, step back, and allow rational thinking to prevail.

Roots & Branches
“We follow the herd, follow the river, move for climate change, we are not permanent, scattered seed, the winds of change can take us in several directions.”
All this came to mind as I thought of “Roots & Branches” we are scattered seeds.

No Man is an Island
As a young girl in high school, and boarding school I recalled singing this song in assembly
“No man is an island, no man stands alone
Each man`s joy is joy to me
Each man`s grief is my own
We need one another, so I will defend
Each man as my brother
Each man as my friend”
Each man`s joy is joy to me
Each man`s grief is my own
We need one another, so I will defend
Each man as my brother
Each man as my friend”
Some wildflower I captured while roving with my camera
It meant nothing to me then, but as I got older the words resonated in more ways than one. Artists or creative people, tend to have quirks not many will understand. I have often said ” I walk alone”…and I enjoy being alone. To my mother ( now deceased), I am an introvert, yes, I like to go off in that place where no one else is allowed, and then bring something beautiful out. I can be a social butterfly when I want (but honestly, then I feel like I am on a stage, so it does not happen often)
Over the years I realized I am not an island…..Think for a moment about an island, it is surround by water, but under the surface it is connected to a greater mass of land, (the earth) though seemingly isolated it is connected.
We may stand alone as an island but we are part of something greater.
