| My green babies...foot long green beans, though some reached 18", anyone want to barter neat seeds, let me know... |

| LOVE |
That being said, I'm grateful for this time of rest and renewal.
"Take a rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop." - Ovid, from Ars Amatoria
I rest with extra reading, meditation, and baths and I renew with creating.
Lately I've been collaging Artist Trading Cards...
 |
| It took me a few years to collect and cut out all these small images. |
The start of the organic process: allowing the cards to come together!
Here are a few from years past:
I'll share some of the new ones soon.
~ How are you resting and renewing? ~
from House of Belonging by David Whyte:
"When your eyes are tired
The world is tired also.
When your vision is gone
no part of the world can find you.
Time to go into the dark
where the night has eyes
to recognize its own.
There you can be sure
you are not beyond love.
The dark will be your womb
tonight.
The night will give you a horizon
further than you can see.
You must learn one thing.
The world was made to be free in.
Give up all the other worlds
except the one to which you belong.
Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you."
