Decisions ... Completions

I decided to use up the old labels for my liquid smudges before finalizing a new design. I made a pot roast with garden carrots and turnips and other market veggies. I made paper beads. I completed my Peace doodle ... and now must decide what to do with it. 

Maybe cut it up to make other peaceful "peaces."

I dunno ...

Progress?

I usually have several projects going at once. It's my nature. I neither fight it nor judge it.

I witness such multi-tasking as socially demonized and maliciously labeled as attention deficit something-or-another simply by virtue of being an innate ability of the feminine brain. Women simply have more receptors from left brain to right, making big-pictures, task and mental puzzles, and multiple priorities easier for us to cope with than our masculine counterparts.  Another contemporary side-effect of patriarchy. Children seem to have a growing talent for such capacity, and many are suffering needlessly for it. Oh, I could go on. But instead I'll show you just one thing I'm working on right now:

And now ... I thumb my nose to the current patriarchy and move on to yet another project ... as I dream of progress.

Om Shanti

There are no straight lines in Peace.

Peace is dynamic.

Peace is holistic.

~

Like all things of life, in my experience anyway, Peace shifts and changes, transforms and adjusts to whatever it is ... to whatever it needs to be, in any given moment.

When we live in Peace, we find it above us, below us, before us, behind us and around us. For it is a part of us.

~

And when we seek Peace, we seek within.

For Peace resides within us.

Always. 

~

We are Peace.

We are Love.

We are all that is, was and shall be.

~

Om Shanti.

My Small Voice Matter

Dreams ...

I did things today.

I did three focused tarot card readings for myself. I recorded voice and sound and now have a footing in that new realm. I finished the new hand-drawn labels for my energetic fragrance sprays and polished the verbiage that accompanies them. I tidied my dispensary and then commenced to mess it up again. I walked the dog. I enjoyed the brisk October air.

I stirred the Cauldron of Dreaming and Doing.

Delicious Layers

I continued to make layers in the art journal. Remember these earlier layers?

And remember the black gesso I mentioned last week? I made layers on top of that, and played with a matt-finish gel, pigment and cut up pages from another art journal.

I made time to rack five gallons of ale ...

... and one gallon of rhubarb wine ... and another gallon of rhubarb mead.

I made a simply delicious pasta dinner with my classic Italian pesto of sweet basil, garlic and pignoli nuts. I made time to watch the Giants cream Dallas too.

Ah, such delicious layers of life!
