Doggins

Dear Dog,

I am so sad that I had to send you across the Rainbow Bridge yesterday morning... it was the only choice we had left. :(

You were a big-hearted old girl and I'm sorry your Papa abandoned you... but, I am glad you came to live with me.
You were a clutzy clod and a baby bulldozer.
You stepped on my toes with your 130+(?) lbs. of lovin' and ate like a horse.
You snored creatively, farted horribly and barked like a foghorn.

I loved you very much, though...
and you and I became One on this final journey.
You were very brave and a fighter to the end...
I know you didn't want to leave me.
There is a big hole in my heart and home today.
You will be missed but you are free now.
R.I.P. my Doggins'... we'll see you again someday.
love,
your Mama.

T-shirt Surprise!

This arrived in the mail and I LOVE it...
Keith, of Mindless Pursuits & also, Imperfect Dichotomy, was so nice to make this for me and it's really exciting to see it in real life. It has a touch of sparkle to the ink that is perfect.

I am thinking about offering some of my work on shirts & after seeing the quality of these, it's going to be probably sooner than later.

thanks, Keith!

New Work - Emergence

The cyclone ends.

The sun returns; the lofty coconut trees lift up their plumes again;

man does likewise.

The great anguish is over; joy has returned; the sea smiles like a child.

New Work in the Tweet Home Series - Metamorphosis

I am morphing. I tried something new.

It is great fun and good for the soul.

My painting arm is now laughing again.

The Poet's Risk

I have always been on the side of the heretics,

against those who burned them,

because the heretics so often turned out to be right....

Dead, but right.
