…I shall move away from whimsy, if possible.
This work, entitled “The Diver” by Danielle Anjou, (hopefully) shall be the subject of this post.
My, usually alert, yet…
…now cannot keep open my eyes. I think the Sandman ultimately cannot be denied.
MY AVATAR ( SHORT READ, POETRY FORM PART 1 W/ AUDIO)
WHY GIVE ME THIS BODY THAT IMPRISONS MY SOUL?
I ROME THIS BRUISED SPACE HIDING FROM MY OWN DISCRACE
THAT SPILLS OVER IN MY WORLD
THAT ONLY KNOWS ME AS A LITTLE GIRL
BUT I AM A WOMAN!
AND I KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE THE SCARES TO PROVE ITRead more… 52 more words
Thank you very much for visiting my very very tame and quiet little corner of cyberspace, when compared to yours. One thing confuses me in the above entry; however, it is just a quite mild curiosity. I’m not sure I see anything in your avatar that seems objectionable or that I might shy away from or wish you to remove. Apart from that, I believe I understand the tenor of above entry. Thanks again for the visit.
Think And Grow Rich? Really?
Thank you for the visit, I myself have read many such classics, and knew long ago they were far from shallow tomes.
Desire backed by Faith knows no such word as impossible.
Every adversity brings with it the seed of an equivalent advantage.
– Napoleon Hill
I never read Napoleon Hill’s classic Think and Grow Rich. I judged the book by the cover believing that it was probably materialistic pablum only useful to sales people trying to develop positive thinking habits to consistently close deals and make big bucks – not that there’s anything wrong with that. Being successful in sales does require a strong dose of integrity, self-confidence and positive thinking, but I didn’t see the relevance to someone like me who was an educator and not motivated by wealth accumulation. I made a mistake.
The two quotes above sound like words you would see on inspirational posters that have no practical effect in the life of the individual who glances at them. The mind responds positively to such thoughts until…

At Last
The holidays have me feeling so very frazzled that I forgot to post when I performed this reblog! Thanks much for the visit. I feel remiss that I am not spending as much time this month investigating the sites of those I follow.
I swear, I can prove I’ve captured
The most elusive of creatures
Lo and behold,
A thesis.
4 Square Rural
One always wonders how people find each other in cyberspace. My art–such as it is, published or not, is quite not abstract, one wonders how one gets from there to… well…. here…. I remember having written and created all manner of abstractish things when very young. Perhaps it is my natural oppositional nature. Everyone, after all, since 1014 has been heading in that direction with a few notable exceptions–and there is, of course a bit of a revival of such things these days.
But really, I’m just musing with no direction in particular. It’s just the way my mind tends to whirr along. Thanks for the visit.
9×12 in mixed media. As simple as this piece seems to be, it was fairly complex in execution. Lost track of the layers but beneath each square of color I started out very vivid and bright. I really love how the textures allowed some of the full richness of the under lying colors to show. I did have to knock down some of the peaks though to get a more uniformed look. The full body white lines in some areas show well too. Unfortunately this piece can only get full appreciation in person, as the photo can’t capture the subtle tones. This was a follow-up to “Neutrons and Fertilizer,” only taking the tones the opposite direction in values.It kind of gives a wintery feel, although I have seen colors this muted from above when you get a lot of sun reflection in spring time. You have to work at seeing the signature as I didn’t want…
