As I've said before, this proves that AI wasn't a part of this post. This is a photo of a statue located at Bernheim Forest.

Granny Women

"When the grandmothers speak, the Earth will be healed" - attributed to Hopi wisdom keepers (working on finding the verification) First of all, I'm a delight.Second, everything I'm about to tell you is true. Decided to make some prayer bread today. This is the art (or practice) of saying prayers over homemade bread as it rises. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, nor does it have to be particularly religious/spiritual.

Ahhh-choooo

“If you desire healing,let yourself fall illlet yourself fall ill.”― Rumi First of all, I'm a delight.Second, everything I'm about to tell you is true.Third, it's time for my yearly cold/flu/??? When my body is feeling a little more tactile than normal, I apparently like to walk around in the land of nostalgia. The images in this post are from an art journal I created in 2012 when I was teaching classes on...you guess it...art journaling.

Don’t drive the karma bus

"Our karma is our mind. And the mind stands in the way of a clear view of God." - Ram Dass First of all, I'm a delight.Second, everything I'm about to tell you is true. There's always a lot of chatter on the socials about how folks hope that karma works its magic. You know, like when someone cuts you off in traffic, you wanna see them have the same experience.

Alive and Dreaming

“Each of us is an artist of our days; the greater our integrity and awareness, the more original and creative our time will become.”― John O'Donohue First of all, I'm a delight.Second, everything I'm about to tell you is true. Currently my house smells like jalapeño cheese cornbread, there's snow falling all around, and life feels pretty okay. Later I'll whip up my version of chili macaroni - as well as some kind of sweet treat (hopefully).

This Week’s Books

“If you want to identify me, ask me not where I live, or what I like to eat, or how I comb my hair, but ask me what I am living for, in detail, ask me what I think is keeping me from living fully for the thing I want to live for.”― Thomas Merton First of all, I'm a delight.

Analog(ous) (Advent 2025)

“The journey is what brings us happiness not the destination.”― Dan Millman First of all, I'm a delight.Second, everything I'm about to tell you is true. One only has to travel a few posts back to see how my relationship with being online is tenuous, irresolute, and somewhat curmudgeonly. As someone born in the 1970s, I've watched technology go from talking wrist watches in Dick Tracy to wearing something similar that I've nicknamed Santa…

St. Nick Eve now with more Krampus (Advent 2025)

“Let your acts of mercy be like a river, unending and overflowing.” - attributed to St. Nicholas of Myra First of all, I'm a delight.Second, everything I'm about to tell you is true. Back in my Waldorf(ish) days, today was a huge deal when my oldest two were much younger than they are now. Meaning, when they were about 5 to 7, they would enjoy putting their shoes by the back door in hopes that St.
