Art is everywhere, from the texture of the restaurant table to the lines in the petal of a flower. All one has to do is open the eyes to see these inspirations all around us.
In that spirit, I’ve started to do a 365 Photo challenge. I’m carrying a camera around with me wherever I [...]

Sleeping sometimes brings deep insights. I should really put a disclaimer on this page:
PARDON OUR DUST
WORK IN PROGRESS
…maybe that should be a sign I wear around my neck, too. Ha!
Anyway, yeah. Hi! I’m Xiane, I’m a mess but I’m trying to be better, and I REALLY appreciate and am awed by the patience that you [...]

I was talking to Eric, one of the delightfully fun and interesting baristas at my local coffeeshop tonight. We were talking about various things we’d learned about religious topics, and I shared a quick gloss about my First Communion and Confirmation ceremonies -yep, I was raised a Catholic, for those that didn’t know! One of [...]

All the people gather
Fly to carry each his burden
We are young despite the years we are concern
We are hope despite the times
All of the sudden, these days
Happy throngs, take this joy wherever, wherever….
I wish to meet each one of you And you, me, you, if I can and I can
We have many things in common, [...]

Well, if its so deep you dont think that you can speak about it,
Just remember to reach out and touch the past and the future.
lyrics from Kate Bush [love & anger]
Breathe in. You’re connected, through that breath, to me/her/him/them - the World. You’re breathing in the breath of the Earth, the same air that generations [...]

lyrics today from Sarah Fimm [be like water]
…
If everything is just the way it should be
Why am I why am I still hungry
Be like Water
Don’t be shy, don’t shut your eyes
Don’t get high
Expand your Mind.
Don’t keep in touch, don’t touch yourself
Don’t ever want to be somebody else.
When everything is bad as it can be
Never be [...]

Mr Bowie has the right words.
I guess I draw ‘em to me.
She began to wail jealousies scream
Waiting at the light know what I mean
In The Artist’s Way, Julia Cameron talks about crazymakers, people who are there to suck you dry like succubi, people who leave bad feelings and madness in their wake like a hurricane. [...]

I think that I’ve found out I don’t wear scarlet well.

tonight’s lyrics from All About Eve [scarlet]

An Artist’s Way regroup and rededication.

Change is necessary; no one should sit stagnant in the present for too long, in my little opinion. One must always strive to grow, else we risk letting life pass us by.
People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built. - Eleanor Roosevelt
Some of my faithful readers [...]

I’d forgotten how much just talking to people who care, and making good changes, and most of all listening to music can inspire me, stir that creative side of mine that bursts with words and dreams and thoughts but all too rarely, deeds… tonight, MrWhite and I are sitting here [...]
