everything dances

'everything has rhythm.

everything dances.'

two hearts

thoughts and things born in solitude

and borrowing from ruth rae i will share a desk view... why a striped tablecloth? because 4 years ago i started working on it and have never cleared it off to remove it... simple!

seeking light

i always enjoy watching my fur babies as they track the sun... last week when i took down the tree of stress (remember? it shed all of its needles?) the big windows were unblocked, and the light came pouring in... wasting no time, they assumed position for the morning nap... and i left off to do something else... 


it got me to thinking about seeking light - its warmth and calming qualities, its rejuvenating qualities... its references to wisdom... and hope... 

as living things seek light for growth, i thought about how we do this as well... after i took this photo of the piece with a woolly green heart, i found another association ~

'love must be as much a light,

as it is a flame.'

~ henry david thoreau

'love is not consolation.

it is light.'

~ friedrich nietzsche

isn't it funny how you can know things without being aware of it? i had made the association with love before i was cognizant of doing it... something nice to think about today... we know that love is necessary for growth, nurturing ourselves and others, allowing others to nurture us... 

seek light today, seek love ~ and in doing so, be sure to share it...
