IN THE NEW YEAR – NO FEAR

 

 

THE GOOD:
Did you enjoy your Christmas celebrations? Hope you spread around the good cheer to the lonely or sick. If you didn’t, you still have a chance to mean something to someone with New Years Eve or New Years Day. Hubby’s specialty is to make apple beignets and oliebollen (a Dutch treat for this time of year of the same dough with raisins, deep fried in a ball)

NO FEAR – Come what may in 2016. A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU!
Am determined not to let any threat or intimidation
Trying to encroach me
rob me from freedom of joy
on the path designed to follow
Away with you fear and fear mongers
this year is mine

 

 

THE RANDOM:

of all the doors opening up
welcoming me
choosing the one hand made
created by the Designer
to fit my inner room

 

 

Life may not be a white picket fence
nice or popular or  easy
but ever effort is
worth the journey

 

For Warm Heart: when my kids were still living at home, every new year we would each write down the accomplishments  of the year before, as well as what we could have done better. For the new Year we would write out, which goals we would like to reach. Then we would share all these items with each other. These were such memorable times!

 

 

 

 

In Yosemite Nat. Park – river with snow near W-entrance

 

my reflection will not
freeze in fear
or melt
in hot pursuit
when chasing castles
in the sky

 

 

 

The (Tuesday) Texture of oil paint & Tuesday Travel – Bryce Canon, Utah –

watch me finish some paintings
revisit every ascent, texture and shadow
hearing the rhythm of horses’ hooves
at the base of the mountain
see the flutter of each leaf or needle
longing to know what the distance breathes
before the last brush stroke
is done

Warm Heart: these significant messy moments are the inspiration for the next painting, not the subject, or how well or badly this one turns out!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE FUN:

but also I’m going to play
forget about the future’s sorrows
ignoring the politicians antics
whether they’re right or not!
for tomorrow is another day
but today I’m going to play

Join gleefully the NO FEAR year
