simplify

living on the beach man

oh that’s where I wanna be

hmmm the sun, the surf

and fishing, that is something else

I could have fresh fish everyday

prawns and simple fare

oh man but does that sound so fab

sunny days with clear blue skies

even scuba diving and water adventures

I’ve never done before…

that said, my reality is simple

while I would like ro explore for a week or so

a place totally different from my own

I’m a proud Canadian who loves being home

We have four glorious seasons

each one giving us different reasons

to go out and explore the great Canadian experience

I do love to travel

but more and more, I want to be home

where life is simple, and its my own’

The holiday season is fast approaching

the lights, the cool invigorating frosty air

wood fire crackling in the fireplace, home baking

and evergreens everywhere

AND AND AND

now it is pumpkin season,

there are so many different squashes

and fall vegetables everywhere

LOL and it can be spooky and fun

you never know what you will see while being out and about

there are just too many creative people out there

so, yes, I love love reading about David’s* travels

and his photography showing us all

where he has been, delights and teases me

David I watch for your reads

now lets eat..

Smile everyone,

It’s Friday!

It happens to all of us, at some time in our lives, we come across a “road block”… as a writer, writer’s block, when I’m in a creative mood with my sculptures, and suddenly my creative moment goes on sabbatical, it is another form of “road block” In PL we are taught to take a step back, and to look at how we have been tackling our “challenge” (task at hand). If I walk away do something else, then come back, I am often able to “see” with a different set of eyes. When I was painting, I’d find that there were some forms of expression that I just couldn’t agree with. I would keep wanting to add more paint, or take some away, make adjustments, this would go on till my canvas looked like one big mess of colour. Instinctively I would know that I had “missed” the moment…. the ah ha… of the expression was gone, no matter how much I was to persist, it would not come back. It was time to acknowledge that I had not been working with my full makoto, and the result was before me. Like it or not, what I had achieved was putting my “mixed emotions/feelings” on the canvas, there was nothing to do but accept it and move on. Trying to accept the abstract mess of colour was never satisfying, especially if I tried to convince myself that this is what I must have been trying to express. What is the expression, you can fool some people some time, but you can’t fool all of the people all the time??? And, you may try to fool yourself, the reality is, your inner self always knows what is real and what is not.

In Norman Rockwell’s print, you can see that everyone is giving their full attention to getting the “road block” to move out-of-the-way. (found on imachild.wordpress.com) When we are faced with a difficulty,challenge, obstacle, if we step back and think about how we can creatively get around our problem… usually with patience, the obstacle will move along.
