Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

On a personal level as well as noting things happening outside in the world, I am cognizant of all the things that we humans allow to divide us. The labels we give each other are divisive. One wants to be singular, different and unique and DNA proves that but we are also all human...the grand tribe ...

I suppose I should put together my memories too-- photos, writings, drawings, home movies, even voice recordings from decades ago, a lot of it scattered in various places in the basement... Yep, ya should...! Just the act is cathartic, at least it is for me. And no matter who the person is, whether...

You did the right thing... as you know... taking care of family first. Don't know Alex but I think I would enjoy the read. Never seems time for that pleasure anymore...time is short and I try and spend it outside, when I can, in the garden. Cec and I were sitting and discussing this little version o...

Absolutely... I totally agree Steve... Nate's journey has taught me so much and as he tells me "I'm the master of you..." How can one argue? We all need healing, we all need solace and we all love and appreciate each other on this journey. Yeah, that little anonymous poem was the inspiration for my ...

Gosh... I could quote a lot of your poem's lines but will just say...it pierced me. Applause!

in the garden
my love blooms
he is still here
now

...

water cans
overflow with
liquid gold

...

sunshine, moonshine
quench my thirst

...

along the path
a wandering beetle
searches for haiku

...

dead baby bird
a casualty now
ant food!

...

before noon
before heat
water rites

Damn fine story mnaz...damn fine...

We could sure use some of your "duck feet" right about now so the sacred beans, squash and tomatoes will bloom and fruit. Come do a rain dance with us...I'll play the drum. We don't have a pacifico but would a really cold tecate or negro modelo do?

"Save your memories if you can" is a lesson I have learned as the years stretch and one approaches the close of the last chapter of my book of life. Being present and witnessing the passing of loved ones (more and more every day) and then knowing my life too will end is an awe inspiring trip. Those ...

He fell asleep sitting on the chair next to me on the front porch after we enjoyed a lovely summer night with neighbors together. Fell asleep and didn't wake up. It doesn't seem real. Thank you again. It is always too soon to say goodbye but if I could pick my exit, I would like it to be after a lo...

Social media means words travel fast and bad news even faster. Thinking of you Doreen in this difficult time. Sudden loss is...so sudden... But I can tell that you have a lot of people that care about you. I know I do. My condolences on your loss my friend. My you find peace and comfort soon in this...

Thanks for reading and the response. Some things seem to never change..because it is still relevant today altho like I noted, young women artists now are not dealing with, nor accept the strictures that was the norm in the past.

Flirtation, and even not as a trifling matter, this game of love is only the most boring people in the world will do. If nature really, seriously do a kids picnic, called hero martyr. Friends of righteousness, justice difficulty in changing word. _[/url] Honestly lullaby...I tried to understand exa...

Thank you Arcadia for the response. I am sure that, especially in this day and age, teaching is one of the most challenging professions there is. Keeping their attention with all the distractions available means you must be captivating (which I am SURE you are!) De nada mi amiga...

Thanks...it was great!
