A whole new look for the website and naturally
another experiment in the world of blogging.
I’ve tried all sorts of bloggers, photo books,
etc. but I’m mostly happy with just being able
to play with the design elements myself until I
get the look I want and so here I go
again....for now there is no comments section
for the blog...but please use the Contact
button on the upper right to let me know what
you think!
I’ve included some photos from my garden
here. In the gallery there are some new works
I’ve recently completed.
I hope you like the new look, the new work, the
new blog.
Blogs I love:
A Brand New Day....

great for the lupine!

TODAY
I
Do not
Want to step so quickly
Over a beautiful line on God's palm
As I move through the earth's
Marketplace
Today.
I do not want to touch any object in this world
Without my eyes testifying to the truth
That everything is
My Beloved.
Something has happened
To my understanding of existence
That now makes my heart always full of wonder
And kindness.
I do not
Want to step so quickly
Over this sacred place on God's body
That is right beneath your
Own foot
As I
Dance with
Precious life
Today.

Autumn in New York
It’s been a while. My great intentions in reformatting my
whole website were in large part to give me more freedom
with this journal or blog page. The new software is great
and I can do all sorts of fun stuff. The problem came,
however, when I tried to post these new journal entries
onto my site where they would continually appear with big
blank white space at the top . I tried adding new entries
for a while and finally gave up in frustration. But I’m back
and trying again....here are some pictures from a very
beautiful autumn in upstate New York.
And if you are reading this, it must have worked! I feel
encouraged to be back soon!
Life Never Fails
I have fallen between the cracks
and landed in the spaces
where love never fails
Beloved, you are my captor
and I am bound by your love
I hear you whisper softly
don’t speak. words fail here, just listen
churning on the seas of your desire
I am the rising and the falling
the beginning and the ending
the fullness and the emptiness
journey to the furthest point of your
yearning
I am the anguish and the exaltation
I am the grain of sand awakening the pearl
I am the morsel you are tasting
be it bitter or sweet
quench your deepest thirst here
where you think I’m not
I Am.
