Fall weather...the cool air approaches
and you can feel it hit your face
October
weather equals the month
of domestic violence
purple signifies the bruises which are left behind
and the invisible ones you don't see
like a gentle leaf which falls slowly by your feet
the slap and the fist
is strong.....and you wonder if you
will make it through the fall
you may and you may not...
the world out here is shallow
is there room...for one or two or three
and at times there is knot
when you knock on a tree
the answer rings hallow
but you realize you are strong and need to be
for you are important....and should take care of thee

| And Modern Day Impressionism Went to the local SAMA museum to checkout their impressionist painting exhibit I was really inspired by the colors, the gloss and the amount of paint and brushstrokes on canvas Also, comparing one painter with another and how they interpreted almost the same landscape Decided to walk around and saw people enjoying themselves....after covid and the flowers in bloom And I am working on the CF ray quilt Can hardly wait to put the batting and begin hand quilting it and moving on to the next project I actually cut out some pieces to a small storage bag and working with plastic for the first time...will take photos of that project in order to continue with my journal Reading and reading....reading RBG one of the biographies on her plus her little penguin dissents book, which is a series I started on a Alexander Hamilton biography as well watched a dvd on Mrs. Lowry and Son I may have been the last person to watch this film I really enjoyed it...except for the abuse poor L.S. Lowry had to endure Lowry really loved painting...his story inspires me It is very hot..over a 100 degrees...I look out the window and remember the snow that was there only four months ago Things really change rapidly |
