Symbols

Symbols are powerful because they are the visible signs of invisible realities. ~St. Augustine

My research on the earth, its colors, stones, and rocks, and what they represent to people throughout history is very interesting.  But I have broadened the search and have wandered into symbols. There are so many paths to travel here – it’s hard to narrow them down.  As It turns out, symbols of the earth were just a small small piece of the pie.  So, I am going to travel along that path for a while.  Symbols travel through history like everything else.   Symbols are layered and have become, I think, a key part of communication.  

Memories

Her wagon was behind her.  Maggie walked by her side, smelling the smells along the way. Maggie followed her on the path to the back of the woods.  It was so glorious to greet the new day this way. Sitting in her chair, coffee in her hand and the woods filled with bird songs, she watched the sun rise above the horizon.  Maggie is gone now, and she no longer lives by those woods, but she still takes her coffee, sits in the back, and watches the sun rise over the horizon, and the woods behind her house are suddenly filled with glory.

Where is Art?

Where is art in music?

Is it between the notes and the pauses in between?

Where is art in a painting?

Is it the pause between?????

The pause between the brush and the mark?

Art is the idea and it is between the idea and the creator.

The Swirl

The swirl

The swirl of startled finches …leaving the feeder

almost touches me … sitting in my Adirondack chair,

enjoying watching the day begin.

Perhaps when they reach me…they will ask me to

fly with them.

Today, well, every day, really stop rushing around and quietly, in your own way, allow your eye to see. 

To see the moon, stars, clouds, the sun, a friend, a favorite color and have an unforgettable experience.
