It has taken quite a few weeks to come back to my dolls, I had so many things to do in between...that I almost feared that they would not "allow me in" the flow of creativity. I am glad it was not so, as soon as I sat at my table...the process began and I am glad it did, because it feels like I have balanced my time. These little creatures are such blessing to my days. Not only because I enjoy making them, it is wonderful to see that others enjoy them as well.
What prompted me to finish what I had started months ago...someone found me at Etsy and purchased 6 dolls! Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound...

There is one purpose to life and one only: to bear witness to and understand as much as possible of the complexity of the world - its beauty, its mysteries, its riddles. The more you understand, the more you look, the greater is your enjoyment of life and your sense of peace. That's all there is to it. If an activity is not grounded in 'to love' or 'to learn,' it does not have value.

What are you dreaming about...?

Let me share mine: I see myself traveling, taking photos making art of strange and beautiful landscapes and gathering with my friends to create small communities in different places where we share and learn to live abundantly in a more harmonious way with nature.

Do you know what it's like, to stand on the heavenly diving board of time, looking down at the 10,000 lifetimes you're about to begin? Seeing everything for the first time through prisms of color and light? Feeling totally overcome with such a surge of joy for ALL that lies ahead, that it takes all of your angels just to keep you from leaping before it's your turn? Knowing that no matter what happens you will emerge wiser, richer, and deeply in love with every form of consciousness that will soon touch and expand your own?

Oh yeah...

Nice cannonball.

In love,

It is not worthwhile to go around the world to count the cats in Zanzibar.  - Henry Thoreau

"I dreamed I spoke in another's language,
I dreamed I lived in another's skin,
I dreamed I was my own beloved,
I dreamed I was a tiger's kin.

I dreamed that Eden lived inside me,
And when I breathed a garden came,
I dreamed I knew all of Creation,

I dreamed--and this dream was the finest--
That all I dreamed was real and true,
And we would live in joy forever,
You in me, and me in you."

— Clive Barker (Abarat: Days of Magic, Nights of War)
