Caught

caught

between sliding doors

the screen and unseen

a river of stones

As I continue to rest from our wonderful family visit this past weekend simple posts feel like enough. Thank you everyone for your thoughtful, loving comments as always. I do read every one, even if I don't always reply. Your connections heal me more than you can possibly know. I am bone deep tired, but very content.

gentle steps,

Laura

always power in the simple. sending tender love to soothe those beautiful bones. waves of warmth to melt away any icy chills you may be experiencing - I know we've got about an inch of ice covering our snow here! ❤ hugs and love, Karin

I swear at first I thought that leaf was a cat! Maybe my eyesight hasn't gotten better after all. Lovely, evocative photo.

Bright Sparks:

Remnants

Before the eMeS, my now constant companion begged me to stay close to home, I taught art, yoga and meditation to Jewish teens in the Greater Boston area. The collage series in the slide show above was created using forgotten paper scraps that slipped between the cracks of the tables onto the floor, from an Art as a Sacred Practice class I taught to High School students several years ago. My intention was to find the intrinsic value in each remnant. Often the beauty of an individual person goes unrecognized or unappreciated until it is revealed in the context of a relationship; the same is true of colors, shapes and textures. Click on the images to take a closer look. They are tiny works, some no bigger than 1.5” x 1.5”
