Deep in the woods the call croaked and the raven quaked,
“Quickly, partake in the feast!”
Over and over, I am reminded,
LIVE life to the fullest, NOW.

THE GATEKEEPERS
So much light remains despite these times of turmoil. There are many who are the gatekeepers—those protecting human rights and the environment, others working to make difficult changes—and many more speaking out and illuminating the truth wherever and whenever possible. I know that truth will prevail as will the light. It has and always will because WE, the people, are diligent and strong and believe in the dignity and integrity of each other.

THE MOON FLEW
As the moon flew, my soul recited reflections of light and laughter and love.

WE RISE
from the ashes
we rise
battered
but not broken
and better
This year has been quite the odyssey for me. A metastasized cancer scare in the early months of 2015 left me with enough berries of wisdom to feed me for a lifetime. Indeed, an intense, personal experience and one that made crystal clear, the importance of my life’s pursuits - most importantly, be with the ones you love (for time is truly limited) and promptly go do whatever you’ve been putting off. Sounds cliche - it is - and yet, it is not.
So, for the last several months, I dropped out of the virtual world and have been letting my creativity flow wherever it wanted to meander. I worked with traditional art tools and eventually returned to the digital ones but with a new flair and renewed excitement for my art photography.
Thanks to all of you that have continued to follow me in my absence. I look forward to sharing my work with you again.
