my little heart...

I was walking through the park today. The air was cold, not too cold. There was stillness within and without. Upon a path I saw a small tree. It had lost all it's plumage, all but a few and that's when I saw it. It was my little heart. It was perched on the highest branch, looking down at me...dancing in the cold wind. It was unguarded, unprotected, naked for all to see...

Back to school

Ok, so I'm going back to school. I'm going to Fontbonne.
I've decided to finally finish my degrees. I'll get a BFA and then an MFA.
After I've completed my studies I will look to teach in a University.
The plan is to do that for 20 years and then retire.

By the way, here's one of my latest henna design...Enjoy!

My heart

Jerry sent me this flower and that exactly how my heart is.

This is how I feel today.

I woke up early today, even before the sun. There was something in the air. I got up and looked out my window and that's when I saw it, the rain. It was coming like a blanket of haze. I quickly closed the window and went on the covered patio. I laid atop the table with a blanket and pillow as I watched this raging thunder and lighting show express its beauty on the sky's screen. It was wonderful. I laid there for more than an hour as I watched the sun trying to pierce the clouds.
I was analysing the shapes and color to try to capture this beauty on a canvas but then I stopped. I chose to stop and just watch the show without any intent on copying or saving or anything else. It was complete and so was I.

Xmas

It was 52F on Christmas day when I had a late lunch at Latchi's.
I drank too much warm Sake and played with the kitties.
I started my trek to her place in tears as I watched the highway go by.
I guess the sun was setting and the music was beautiful.
