2013.04.17 A time to every purpose

It is the creative potential itself in human beings that is the image of God.

~ Mary Daly

Although still in recovery from cancer treatment,

I'm slowly resurfacing to the world beyond my room.

I've been visiting my daughter in Wyoming for the last 10 days

and I will probably be here another 10 days :)

This is my current couch-away-from-home . . .

Fun, yes?

She, too, loves crafting and I'm slowly being re-inspired to begin again myself.

(both from watching her ... and looking at Pinterest again)

I've finally begun reading again, just the easy stuff, nothing deep or thoughtful.

I'm working on re-believing this quote:

Make up your mind to be happy.

~ Robert Louis Stevenson

To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.

~ Ecclesiates 3:1

The more you have, the more you are occupied.

even to the end of the age.

2012.12.29 You already are

You have a lifetime to learn technique.

But I can teach you what is more important than technique,

how to see;

learn that and all you have to do afterwards is press the shutter.

~ Garry Winogrand

The key to living your dream life is simple:  realize that you already are.

So, what is in this photo?

I have a rag rug on top of my desk.

I had mis-placed a paper

and thought I might have slipped it between the rug and the desktop.

When I lifted the rug, the sunshine came through with this pretty pattern.

But, no missing paper.

~ Me

2012.12.21 Marvelous things without number

Finding beauty in the stains of life . . .

The world is full of magic things,

patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.

and unsearchable, marvelous things without number.
