Sketch Book Sunday

For I say I am not a winter time person.

So why do I enjoy walking outside to feel the cold touch my face.

Kissing and clinging to my hands.

To take the steps directly into the wind letting it take my breath away.

To see the earth's ground covered in white of the first frost .

Taking those steps onto the crisp ground to hear the sound of walking on the stars in the winter time .

Enjoy your Sunday, here in this part of the world there is a chill in the air.

May you always dream in color,

Drive by photo and a few of my words

YOU MUST CLICK ON THE PHOTO TO READ AND SEE.....THANKS
This is a photo I shot as I was riding ,being the passenger of course. .Just one of those shots you take and then wonder why? I was sitting today and looking at photos and wondering why did I keep this shot of the church which is not a good photo at all. Then I saw shadows and then I heard the words in my head. So I just typed them in and then so I called it Silent Sunday.
I suppose I have a lot of silent moments lately..

Have a good week and May you always dream in color.

You and I

12x15 on Birch Panel....

I remember the night

we sat and talked

until the first pale rays of dawn

broke through the darkness.

It was then that we discovered

you and I had become "US"

Sometimes we simply have to sit and be and enjoy the moment.

May you always dream in color.

Reach and Paint Your Dreams

This is a sketch in my sketch book. I do not seem to get any more than the sketch. I am reaching but it seems life is holding me down. Maybe it is me that is holding back instead of life holding me back.
Sometimes it is hard to know if it is our fear of failure or the fear of living our dreams.
I think if we keep trying that is the important thing. Except now I am not sure I am even trying.
OK so lets get on with other things.
I do hope everyone enjoyed Thanksgiving ,where it was with family or friends. We went out for lunch instead of cooking at home. Me and My brother took my Mom out to lunch. So my Mom enjoyed seeing my brother..He is the one that hung the moon. I am just the one that does everything else. LOL..


What's Not Here

I start out on this road, call it love or emptiness, I only know what's not here: resentment seeds, back-scratching greed, worrying about out come, fear of people. When a bird gets free, it doesn't go back for remnants left on on the bottom of the cage! Close by, I'm rain. Far off, a cloud of fire.
I seem restless, but I am deeply at ease. Branches tremble; the roots are still.
I am a universe in a handful of dirt, whole when totally demolished. Talk about choices does not apply to me. When intelligence considers options.
I am somewhere lost in the wind.....
Rumi

Have a good week and Reach for what ever you want.

May you always dream in color.

A walk amongst the trees and the celebration of Trees and Thanksgiving

Today I took a walk and just enjoyed the trees and some shared their secrets by letting me look inside and seeing the sky.

Some spoke of creation and what it means to use your imagination and look beyond the decay and see beauty.

Some did a little dance and swayed to the silent music.

Some stand so tall and regal because he says he can reach the sky.

I hope you enjoyed the walk with me today with the trees.

For tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I started today to be thankful to walk amongst the trees.

I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving..
