Garden Clippings
Sunday, May 16th, 2010Cleaning the garden ready for crops: Three trees to be fully trimmed using a hand saw. Is this showing more love than a chainsaw? This is showing hard work. Where's the beer? April Snow in May! The rain has washed away the lilac blooms, but the peonies are about to open. Our tulips and crocuses dropped their flowers. Our day lilies and perennials budding and blooming. Our ...
missing the ocean
Monday, March 1st, 2010I am a prodigy among the Eternal people. Before my peers know it is possible, I learn to remove what is not my essential being, leaving only my self. I surprise my teachers because I have learned to be my self without express guidance. The lessons for removing non self ...

Red Between the Lines
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009She was driven fearing the ones she left behind instead of the one she was with. Behind her, the party In her blood, the party In the driver's seat, the party. She was crying, the tires then were crying, after her, was crying. -- This rough cut glass was composed in the same 30 seconds as the gem previously posted ...
