On This Day, My Dear Brother ...



 
On this day, My Dear Brother

It is for you to breathe easier

And for you to do the things

You always wanted to do

To walk on a smoother path

Above us, Sporting your cowboy boots

While watching over us, below

Wear your Ray Ban sunglasses

That always completed your look

Give us that famous laugh

With that one of a kind smile

Jam a favorite tune on your guitar

To let us hear you one more time

During a rainstorm, Send down a drum solo

so there is no doubt - It is you

If you drop a stick while playing

Your strong hands will take over

As they have saved you many times before

Watch a Dallas Cowboys football game

And cheer along with all of us

I will save you a seat - Right next to me

Settle In - In your new life with those you admire

Rock the heavens with the greatest musicians

They will welcome you with open arms

Family & Friends will gather

to have a few cigars In your honor

To cheer the coolest guy we know

You can bring us all home

With the song, Squeezebox

Like you did so many years ago

With my adopted brothers - "The Band"

There are no words for these fine men

Keep the garden gate open

So we can meet again

To Rock a Little More

With only the class you had

To Lead the way home

And make new memories

Just Us ~ You & I

Love Story in Burlington, VT ...

It started the morning I decided to visit Muddy Waters (Coffee House) in Burlington, Vermont. I was told by the locals that if I was looking for a quiet place to write and enjoy a good cup of java, this was the place. I entered into a few different level rooms containing booths, cozy benches and chairs. After ordering an Iced Machiatto, I settled into a nice corner bench adjacent to a bookshelf. It was quiet, the perfect seat to get some reading done. My reason for spending a quiet morning here was to work through a few more chapters in The Artist's Way. (Julia Cameron's ~ Guide to Inspire Artists). Upon looking around, I noticed that there was a small, rolled up piece of paper tucked away in the brick wall behind me. At first, I was not sure whether to take it out and read it, or not. Perhaps I have seen too many "Candid - Punked" like shows, and someone was watching my every move. Pushing these paranoid thoughts aside, I reached over, read it and I was elated

All about Hope ...

I thought this image was appropriate for how I am feeling today. I seemed to have gotten a second wind with being creative this year. I am excited to tell you about my new treasure in writing. It is a newfound website (that I found in a column in Oprah's Nov 2011 magazine) called 750Words.com. This site follows the steps of Julia Cameron's The Artists Way. It helps you work towards a better writing style. It encourages you to write 750 words a day. This is approximately 3 typewritten pages of words. I am finding it easier to pick a theme (from Patti Digh's LIFE IS A VERB book - Thanks, Patti!) to help create daily themes. Please cheer me on to continue this daily ritual.  Have you started a new routine that you would like to share?

One Year Anniversary Post & a Give-Away ...

Today marks my One Year Blog Anniversary ~  It has been a wonderful year of meeting new artists, painters, photographers and crafters. I have made many new friends on this journey ... I have received many compliments on the above photo, so I thought I would have a fun give-away. This is to show my appreciation for all your support of my photography and writing over the past year. I am giving away the above photograph (my original photo, accented in Photoshop) as a 5x7 print.  Please leave me some comments of "love" and I will be picking a winner on Wednesday, November 30th.  This is my first give-away and I am so excited about it ~  Hoping to hear from many of you!
