Love our earth ...

 

“When we love the earth, 

we are able to love ourselves more fully.”

 Bell Hooks, Belonging: A Culture of Place

Let's make the impossible, possible

 

“Imagination is not bound by possibilities. The creative mind will always break the shackles—making the impossible, possible.”

”

— C. Toni Graham

On January 20th, 2025 I started a series of collages as a way of creating some calm during the coming insanity.

'Tis the month to LOVE!!!

 

“We love because it's the only true adventure.”

Nikki Giovanni

I’m joining the #lightsoutmeta movement

I heard about #lightsoutmeta yesterday and Prudence Pickle, Herbert and I are elated to join the boycott!

Not sure how this will unfold but it gave me great joy to log off all meta apps and remove them from my phone.

I have loads to say and ponder and to share but for now I wanted to announce my decision.

and you can find me here and these other platforms:

Find your vitality and add it to the world…

There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.

Martha Graham

This is one of my touchstones quotes, one that I revisit every time I’m struggling. I chose it for this year’s January calendar because during 2025 we need all positivity and creativity!

peace & blessed be 🕉️
