rise up this morning
It is most certainly a beautiful Sunday as I rise up this morning listening to Bob Marley records, puttering around my studio in a sleepy reverie. It is a morning of being here, (remembering there) decorating my studio and pondering where to get tiny boxes I can paint as little homes for my five word poems. (which I think will be my most humble christmas gift this year to friends) There is a sweet rabbit I am considering adopting (already i am certain she is an ‘eliza’) and loads of old family photo’s to scan in my new scanner. (the Epson Perfection V500 which is BRILLIANT!!!)
a poem…
the handspring
How me of me, I know, to blame it all
on that little hampered run, that running tiptoe
and the world swung up on your fingertips
as if it were nothing, or at least the weight of nothing.

(poems are little epiphanies , of this I am certain)
oh…and a most lovely sunday song (have a good one!)…and a sweet photo…oh and let’s not stop there...this is a profoundly enormous work of art
p.s. i am behind in my e~mails but for those who are asking about the color of my living room and studio I matched cloverdale paints (because i have a contact there and they are much cheaper) to benjamin moore colors ~ “firefly’ for the living room and “happily ever afer’ for the studio)

I just have to say that your website brings so much yellow into my day. I love how you make all the little things so special, so revered – you are so utterly inspiring!

I think that the person who gets to give paint colours their names has a great job! xo

Aw I hope you adopt the little one – rabbits and their little noses are so adorable.
The video was a little treat – very uplifting! And the map of India looks good there.
