'every once in a blue moon
something new comes along
that scrambles your preconceptions.'
a blue moon will occur tonight... it is defined as the second full moon in a calendar month... a second opportunity to give thanks as we ring out 2009...
new year's eve brings up all kinds of emotions... hopes for the coming year and a review of the events of the past... reflections that bring up feelings of joy and sorrow, of accomplishment and yearning...
perhaps it is fitting that one of my final pieces of the year is 'the caged heart' ~
'few are those who see with their own eyes
and feel with their own hearts.'
~ albert einstein
see, feel, be present... experience the textures and colours of life... the subtlety of meaning that imbues everything...
break free of cages imposed from within and without... in steps large or small... have a goal to be more free by next new year's eve...
and know that it all begins with love...
ceramic ring and heart from mellisa at chinook jewelry designs... beautiful hand-dyed yarn by myfanwy at sassa lynne...
happy new year ~ and so very much gratitude to all who stop by my blog, who help me to grow, who share their wisdom with me...
and congratulations to marsha neal for delivering her beautiful baby boy riley!
