I’m not sure when the call first whispered to my heart. The voice, that unwelcome voice, the siren of burden. “You know what you need to do,” she said. Why me? Why couldn’t I just go through life with normal goals and aspirations? A good job. A loving relationship. A family. Weekend barbecues among loved [...]

There’s a beauty that never fades, endures all time There’s a divinity that pervades all beings, all things There’s a grace that characterises all movement, all art That divine, beautiful grace . . .                     . . . is Love.

Peter, et. al. I thought we could expand on our Divine Synonyms by listing synonyms for them.  It’s proving to be more difficult than I’d expected… God : Transcendance – the connectedness of all creation within which we all exist, can experience, can become consciously connected to, can become a giving part of. synonyms : enlightened, eternal, [...]

Staci… Why have you never brought up Helprin before? The passage you quote in Delusions. . . is scrumptious. Should I begin with Winter’s Tale ? Or Soldier ? A couple things about categorisation… You’ve categorised that post in both Beauty and Perfection . I think as far as the sub-categories go, we should pick [...]

[amtap book:isbn=0156031132] Here’s something for "Perfection ", Peter. It’s a superbly spiritual passage from Mark Helprin, a writer whose fiction I love, though whose politics I loathe.  Life hands out challenges like that, doesn’t it? Beauty is found in the most unusual places. Had I known his politics before having read most of his books, [...]

The butterflies are gorgeous, gorgeous. All of them, but I really love the monarchs and daisies. They’re special. I know you’ve already sold Tweet on the lonely butterfly, but …  if you’re going to go with butterflies anyway, those are stronger images. I do like Tweet’s avatar, though! Was it at all tempting to categorise [...]

Hey Staci, Found some more butterfly images to play with. I’m thinking about making them part of the site theme. I’ll have to talk to Tweet about the Twitter one. We’ve been having a little to-and-fro on that. I’m really liking two, which I think will work well: the one with the single yellow butterfly [...]

I love Passion ! Now that’s an inspiring gallery.  But sweetness, how ever did you miss this Chekirov print? Hmmm? Ms. Passionate Parisien? Yes, Paris is a date…Quatorze Juillet at the North East leg…and then after the Tower, we’ll find a wonderful little pension and while away the days as the French scurry all about [...]

Hmmmm. . .  feeling in the mood for a little passion today… I love the gestures, the embraces. I love the passionate, sensual energy captured in each painting, especially Chekirov and Martinez … Oh My! My imagination soars, crosses the ocean between us and you are here, embracing me.

A facebook friend challenged 16 of her friends, including me, to each write down 16 random notes about themselves, post it as a note, then ask 16 of their friends to do the same. A neat challenge. I didn’t intend to write the following, it’s just what came out. It’s not really what the challenge [...]
