Winter Light

I woke up with Richard again

all month, the light

Angling into the winter window

Less than three years

non sensical 

Reality

Life settles

then the remembering

Cells start blasting

the Sound of what 

is not there

but was

What matters

rainbows on the picture frame

candle sticks on the kitchen table

Stars reflecting 

on a Bodega shoreline

Dawn

Winter light travels

in his footsteps

past his lens

going forward backwards

difficult to be still

there but a blur

Going back

to art,

drawing,

painting,

hurts.

I didn't expect it. 

yet again. 

I see even when I am not picking up a pencil, pen, brush, camera.

Sibley in December

cold and drizzly

took a picture

and painted...

fast! it was 

dark, cloudy, windy, wet

hiked back to the parking lot

glad to put the heater on in the car

drove down Skyline to Snake

to find the sun brightly shinning

fog on mountain top

of course

To be an artist and married to an artist than loosing that artist

Richard lent light to my illustration

As it stands

As I fly

Thank goodness for the extraordinary people in my life. My legs my arms my head and my heart all thank you for your love and caring.

Had a chance to get back on the bike, after running out of front and back yard work to expel pent up nervousness and brain travel into the unknown. Monday it will become more clear. Weekends can either increase anxiety in this case. I guess I've figured out how to move towards constructiveness,

'Think about love...

...when you are writing'

Guy Buttery - Book of Right On - Standing in the Rain

Listening to love songs… covers everything, broken hearts, anger, destruction. The talent,  passion, and ability to communicate story paint a picture with vocals, instrumentation is a connection that accompanies me as I pass thru this life. This life, alone and with you. What a gift that we can participate with one person, or thousands and millions on this planet with shared music.
