I paint what I hear. I love what I do. I am an artist. I am a wife. I am a mother. I am a flawed human on a verrry interesting journey. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1st July 2009 New day. More clarity. I will love my friends beyond my expectations. I accept that they may not return that love as I would have them do. Holding on to anger and disappointment only dampens my soul. Love to those I love. Balance in my expectations. Be well! p.a.s.m. p.s. Just completed a new work...SHE'S DOWN IN IT...oil...beautiful...I am fulfilled. 30th June 2009 Life lessons are coming hard and fast these days. No filters. I am tempted to pull over into the passing lane...not being given the option to slow down. SO...BUCKLE UP...HERE WE GO. Recently I have been handed the task to more closely examine who is and is not a friend. Not so simple this...or...is it so simple I am reluctant to make the call? A friend is someone who wishes you well when others would wish you ill. Someone who will stand for who they know you to be when others would stand against you. Most especially when those others are powerful...yes...most assuredly then. I tend to be a black or white type person. Either someone is a friend of mine...or they are not. Is it time to add shades to that definition???? It would make my life easier if I could do that. If I could. If I would. Now...I can hear the whisper that maybe people I THOUGHT were friends were really just acquaintences. Okay...maybe so. Maybe so. In that case I should not be taking this betrayal so personally. Sure. That's it. If I just reassign and rearrange I'll be able to recover that knife more easily from between my shoulder blades. Time to paint. Head is TOO full. Heart is TOO heavy. p.a.s.m. Happy Father's Day Papa. I still miss your big bear hugs and sunshine smile. Always will. Always will. Always will. Steve and the boys are good. You would have loved the boys. Both soooo different and yet...same same when it comes to big hearts and full, deep souls. Just wanted to let you know that your little girl still is. Always will be. Massive hugs and more love every day....p.a.s.m. 16th June 2009 Ever have one of those days!?! Well...I am having one of those MONTHS. Conventional wisdom would tell me to duck my head and dodge further incoming.... Might be the bright thing to do...just doesn't seem to be the right thing to do. I am fighting the darkness...just can't always seem to remember exactly WHY. Anywho...wounds heal. Heels wound. There is honor in the fight fought well...no matter the outcome. p.a.s.m. ************************************************** May...I am working on a new oil painting. angels mourn me. Darker than I am comfortable revealing...but...this is the work I am meant to be doing at this moment and so I am going w/it. There seems to be a very real sense of forboding about me these days. I will paint through it and see where it takes me. I do not choose the direction my work takes me...it chooses me. p.a.s.m.
