some letters I have received from art buddies in 2012
"At the center of your being
you have the answer;
you know who you are and
you know what you want."
--- Lao Tzu
some tags I have received from art buddies in 2012
"In the end, only three things matter;
how much you loved, how
gently you lived, and how gracefully
you let go of things
not meant for you."
--- Buddhist saying

The hands know,
the materials too,
quite apart from your imaginings,
less or more than your intentions -
following the pattern that emerges,
the story as it tells. -- Jane Whitely

You see, I want a lot.
Perhaps I want everything:
the darkness that comes with every infinite fall
and the shivering blaze of every step up.
-- Rainer Maria Rilke
image by Donna Watson, fabrics, fibers, waiting for inspiration
There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening
That is translated through you into action,
And because there is only one of you in all time,
This expression is unique.
--- Martha Graham
