MORE GOOD WORK AHEAD...

i've been working really hard, painting, writing painting writing...lots of writing in stephanie's journaling class and much excavation there.
and in misty's class we are sketching, painting and writing. so, please forgive me for not reading your blogs...i will later for sure...i just want to get and do as much as possible while there is time in my life.
the painting below is one of my favorites that i have kept and am going to frame some day. it too, has a poem on it, fairly similar to this one.
this poem is our latest written prompt from misty..."i am the.." . i just posted on our private fb page, joining others with their special poems. i feel so connected to many of YOU, my blogging friends and supporters...so am honoring you as well in this poem at the end, "thee" is YOU. XO


i am the:
THREAD that holds family together
i am WOVEN with many colors...
many kinds:
cotton, nylon, mesh, satin and embroidered by the cement in my life

i am the:
knotted, curled, crocheted, and straightened threads that add ccolor to other threads
sometimes wet--sometimes dry
filled with static--smoothed out evenly
straight, crooked, crinkled, flat, bumpy, sparkly and surreal

i am the:
THREADS tied and untied
wound around a finger or a spool,
on the sewing machine or laced between rows.
sometimes, i am sewn into pretty french knots
and sometimes i am found on the floor as a remnant

i wrap myself with me
i have control of where i'll be
but never the same on any given day!
i am the many colored threads of THEE...

THANK YOU ALL FOR DROPPING IN, LEAVING ME WONDERFUL NOTES FROM THE HEART, LAUGHING WITH ME AND SUPPORTING ME!!!
