words

expressions in ink
flow of laughter, love and loss
syllables of life
"When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things Word(s)
And then I don't feel so bad"
 - Maria
from The Sound of Music Soundtrack

come...

watercolor

formless, empty soul
darkness over my surface
come, oh Light, redeem
based on Gen1:2&3

return

watercolor

every turn 
a calculated re-turn 
fibonacci

"I sit beside the fire and think 
Of all that I have seen 
Of meadow flowers and butterflies 
In summers that have been 

Of yellow leaves and gossamer 
In autumns that there were 
With morning mist and silver sun 
And wind upon my hair 

I sit beside the fire and think 
Of how the world will be 
When winter comes without a spring 
That I shall ever see 

For still there are so many things 
That I have never seen 
In every wood in every spring 
There is a different green 

I sit beside the fire and think 
Of people long ago 
And people that will see a world 
That I shall never know 

But all the while I sit and think 
Of times there were before 
I listen for returning feet 
And voices at the door"

tangled name

pen and ink

entangled in a 
name doodles of laughter and
pain: your story told

 "...we find that we are not being led to see God in our stories 
but our stories in God's. 
God is the larger context and plot 
in which our stories find themselves. "

the rub

your slightest wish is
my command when you care take
to rub not me wrong
