shadow

These dark days i have been shaken to the core and slowly it has ripped into my heart... the long awaited snow...comesin and melts this sorrow i have been feeling..
letters... await to take flight intothe air. Who knows where is the wind shall blow and take me next...i may still be lying there under that tree...where once i was woken by a stranger... we sat and talked about my art and poetry..how i miss those days of being so free. Who stops me? I stop me. Its these twisted state of my mind. Trying to balance the dark and light . It all crashes down around me, somewhere far off i hear a dolphins voice and i close my eyes and dream im standing in that sea.



when is it we learn to breathe its like waking up to nature.......


beautifully.


now that i am enveloped in a sea of stars mantled like a child to the cold..

i wish thee a good night

update

Today i have been feeling a stack down. Its been a while since ive written here.. oh well. Thought id blog today. what has been happening:

*made heaps of cards... for the market stall. Only sold under $10 worth. I am going to continue going to the yarragon one. Including one held at the school.

*started a herb garden... they all look tiny but it will look great once in full flourish. Basil, thyme, garlic, chives, mint, peppermint, catnip, tansy, majoram, corriander, flat leaf parsley, curly leaf parley,and sage, oragano, varigated oragano so far... they are all small.. ill have to watch the mint so it doesnt take over the garden..same with the cat grass. Id love to grow some lemon grass and a few other herbs that i dont have. Its a big ;patch.. ive lost the book i had.. i was going to plant them in some kind of order.. i lost the paper that i had it written on... plus Im growing some of them from seed.

*Growing flowers from seed too.. enough to run a small flower stand i think.. dad asked if i was going to open a florist shop with the amount ive got. Some have not come up yet, though i seperated the chillies and have 14 plants.. some of which i shall give away.

*went to my uncles wedding. Which was great brigette looked a million dollars in her wedding dress. It was a great day too. I helped cater for it.. made 80 mini cup cakes. Decorated them all.

*went to the city

* spent a lot of time drawing put a folio together.

*helping to paint the house at weekends with mum... fun fun fun. Got to have it done by the time nicola gets here...ergh deadline!

*nicola, trond and roman are coming out here for christmas.

*looking forward to a holiday by the beach too.

and thats about it for now. I have been experimenting with markers and watercolours lately. Thats my pet project. Anyhow... will write more later alligator.
