Reunion

Reunion

September 15, 2023

One January night, nearly 15 years ago, I heard the stars singing. Here is that story, and a related poem.read more

With love

With love

August 16, 2023

I’m still living this jumble of a summer, but taking time to pop in to share some of my recent earth offerings. May they nourish you as much as they have nourished me.read more

Jumble

Jumble

July 17, 2023

Are all summers a jumble, or is this one particularly so? A jumble of activities and experiences, a jumble of emotions—even the weather has been a bit of a jumble. What's been going on, and why I may not write blogs and newsletters in the next few months.read more

Why Did I Do That?

Why Did I Do That?

June 14, 2023

Why did I do that? Why did I become a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant just as I began my legal career? Here's why.read more

Gift from a Horse: A Reprise

Gift from a Horse: A Reprise

May 20, 2023

Because I am still recovering from covid and my mind is fuzzy and my body is fatigued, I am reposting someting from five years ago which still feels important to me, and I hope will be useful to you. See you next month with new content...read more

Catchall

Catchall

April 20, 2023

A collaged bouquet of flowers (since real ones are not here yet) and a little wordplay on a cool rainy day at the new moon...How many different expressions of the word "catch" can you think of?read more

A Little Break

A Little Break

March 21, 2023

Taking a break from writing a blog this month to honor my energy. But sharing a painting that soothes me and might nurture you too.read more

Color Amid the Snow

Color Amid the Snow

February 20, 2023

I'm almost buried in snow here, and crabby. I crave COLOR. So in the hope that you could use some color too--even those of you in warmer climates--I will fill this post with bright hues instead of more words. Random acts of gaudy art.read more

Searching for Words in a Fog

Searching for Words in a Fog

January 21, 2023

When struggling for words for a blog, sometimes play--especially wordplay--is helpful for me to get out of any pomposity. Here is a limerick about that, for your amusement.read more

Solstice Blessings

Solstice Blessings

December 19, 2022

I'm posting a little early this month to honor the winter solstice, and to send love your way during this holiday time. The longest night of the year. Sitting still in the darkness what might I hear? Do you honor the winter solstice? How?read more

On Thanksgiving

On Thanksgiving

November 22, 2022

This Thanksgiving weekend, where should we put our energy for our highest good?  Here are the cards I pulled and my interpretation. And some reflections on the holiday.read more

Halloween Trick Becomes a Startling Treat

Halloween Trick Becomes a Startling Treat

October 23, 2022

A true story about a Halloween party trick in 1976 that abruptly shifted my understanding, an understanding that persists to this day.read more

A Mystery of Childhood Mementos

A Mystery of Childhood Mementos

September 24, 2022

Other than writing and art, I have saved only two items from my childhood (though one was only recently donated). And why I saved one of them is a mystery to me. Here is the story.read more

Snakes

Snakes

August 27, 2022

Snakes appear often in my art, and have for years. Snake also emerged as my animal/symbol for 2022. Is there a message here? Is something in my past triggering the unconscious calling up of  these images? Or?read more

Earth Prayers--A Reprise

Earth Prayers--A Reprise

August 5, 2022

A year ago, after a couple trips to Lake Superior, I posted how I had begun there a regular practice of creating earth altars---how energizing it was to create them, why and how I created them (as an intuitive co-creation with the life around me and anchored by an intentional blessing), and why I saw each one as "a love offering, a blessing prayer, a piece of art, and an exercise in letting go." This year I created three earth altars during my 11 day trip to Lake Superior, and I'd love to share them with you.read more

Enchanted

Enchanted

July 28, 2022

I just returned from 11 days up north at a cabin on Lake Superior. I’d like to share something that delighted me —one of many enchantments—while I was there. Wildflowers, and particularly wild roses, and a lovely and surprising transformation.read more

Angry

Angry

June 28, 2022

I’m angry. You know why. I bet you’re angry too. At times my fury creates hostile, venomous fantasies against the cabal that wants to control everyone that isn’t just like them. But I don’t want to intensify the poison in the air. Spewing malice is self-indulgence that doesn’t create what I want to see.  So what do I do with my anger right now? read more

Generations and Generations

Generations and Generations

May 29, 2022

An experience I had in 2015 on a spiritual tour in Ireland popped into mind. I haven’t thought about it for a long time, yet it was one of the most powerful experiences I had there. And it is asking to be told today, Memorial Day.read more

Refusal

Refusal

April 1, 2022

In this time of chaos and suffering, how can I embody, or create, something that honors all life? Perhaps by doing what I love? And refusing to be diminished by the culture's ridicule of who I am and what I love?read more

Color and Line

Color and Line

March 2, 2022

When world events rob me of words, intuitively using color and line can help me understand, balance and move my emotions. And provide relief. And sometimes a new vision.read more

Welcome to Whisperings

Whisperings Water Image“There is a place where words are born of silence,
A place where the whispers of the heart arise.”

— Rumi

I will ponder here what whispers to me in the silence. I’d love for you to whisper back; maybe we will all get clearer—or maybe, like in the old kids’ game of “telephone” we will end up somewhere else entirely (which would be fun too)
