"Love is indecipherable. Perhaps it is easier for us to write about power..because its force field is tangible and its outcomes may be hooked onto the ends of our pens. Maybe it is more straightforward to find good words to invoke integrity or truth..because they shine through those things that oppose them or deny them. Magic can be caught in the clever twist of a sentence..and the many fluid expressions of sadness might be laid with little difficulty into a phrase. But how is it possible for us to adequately describe the simplicity and complexity of love? Our emotions are drawn by the tides..responsive waves of feeling that are small and immense..brilliant and tender..potent and wild. We are oceans created in many harmonizing and churning layers by our emotional deep waters. Here is the salty pitch of our longing and here the soft tone of our compassion. Here is the pale whisper of our bewilderment and the dark timbre of our anxiety. Here are the cold high notes of our clarity. Each one of us is a watery choir of feelings. But underneath all this noise there is something else going on. This full-bodied swell is underpinned by a single rhythm that steadily resounds along the perimeter of our awareness..a constant beat that may rise into a resonant crescendo or pulse gently behind melodic confusion. But it is insistent..strong and always present somewhere in the mix. That sound is love..indecipherable love. Love which rouses..impels and gives purpose to the drumming of our human hearts.

Too Great to Bridge
image by nancy holly
"what need we humans have
a species
lonely
and
lacking in
love
its no wonder we turn to
animals
for love
the distance between one
human
and another is often too
great to bridge"

It's About Your Heart....
the keeper of my heart
this piece stands 8 ft tall
there was so much more i wanted to do
carve a face
intricate designs
but it kept saying
no
that love isn't about beauty
or having fine things
it's about your heart
and how looking at the one you love
causes you to forget human language

My MM

asking why i was looking at him
like he was crazy

the sight of him
fills me with
such love
i
sometimes
forget
human
language

Messengers of Love...
my afternoon meditation is usually outdoors...
even when the cold causes me to bundle warmly...
but today my old bone's protest led me here...
to be seated in supplication
upon sitting i noticed seven brilliant red cardinals
in the bush directly out this view...
more in the curly willow tree...
even more perched on the lady banks...
i have often heard it told that cardinals herald
the visit of a lost loved one...
if so... i had much company today
as usual..i spent this time sitting quietly...
open eyed...
drinking in life with all my senses...
accompanied the entire forty minutes
by these messengers...
i was truly blessed to be surrounded this day
with so much love...
and i
thank
YOU...

Black Moon in Libra: Set Intentions for a New Life or Love.
September 30, 2016
The Libra Black Moon occurs on September 30 at 8:11 pm ET here in the Western Hemisphere.
A Black Moon is the second New Moon in any given calendar month, and it carries a supercharged and enhanced New Moon energy with game-changing possibility.With this one occurring right at the end of the powerful September eclipses and all the shifts, changes and endings they have ushered into our world, this Moon is opening a portal of unimaginable potential.
Black Moons bring the energy of second chances into our world. They bring about closure of the outdated, opening of paths going forward, innovative solutions and new beginnings. This is the perfect time for clearing away old stuck energy to allow for the new to flow in.
Black Moons are a time of letting go of old beliefs that no longer serve us for good, for resetting, for healing, for big change, for surfacing of deep truths, and for new things, like love or deeper connection, to flow. They bring an intensified energy, which makes things manifest quickly and brings huge power to the intentions that we are setting now and what seeds we are planting into the Universe.
This Black Moon is in Libra, which is bringing us into a deep dive on the subject of partnerships, union and harmony. This is a very powerful time to set intentions for deep, lasting, committed partnerships and relationships.
This Moon is opening up a potent relationship portal, and asking us to look within the deepest parts of ourselves and at what we are wanting in regards to real, true union.
This Moon is asking whether we are ready to choose the love that we have been desiring. Are we ready to honor ourselves with self-love and move away from the places that we have been settling for far too long?
Libra is ruled by Venus, and she has been responsible for opening our eyes over the last few years in regards to our relationships, the issues and blocks we have, where we are no longer in alignment, where we are deserving of more, and what our hearts are truly desiring.
She’s not done yet, and this time she wants to remind us that it is never too late to open ourselves deeper in relationships, or to begin a new love or life elsewhere. She reminds us to tap into our feelings and own them, not to hide them in the shadows. She whispers of the power in our desires and our emotions, and to use them as a compass on our journey forward.
This sign rules marriage and deep commitment, and Venus wants us to dig our roots deeply where they can be harmoniously nourished, not in toxic soil. It’s time for letting go of any of the areas where you are selling yourself short and settling for less.
This is echoed with the last lunar eclipse, which is pulling us out of the old way of thinking how relationships need to be, and into a place where we are ready to redefine and embrace what truly makes us happy.
This energy also highlights divisions among people, and the areas where we have come to a fork in the road. This aspect can show us where we are needing to leave behind and sever old relationships once and for all, ones that do not feed us and are doing us more harm than good.
This Moon asks that we don’t fall into the trap of indecision and cling to the old ways out of a need for safety. There is better to come when we open to it, and there is so much more coming for us on the road ahead.
This is a time of opening ourselves and realizing how much we deserve. Venus reminds us to aim big here and ask for what we want. Dare to dream, to love, and to give yourself full permission to go after what you really, truly want. Don’t swallow your truth, insist on it.
This Moon is asking you to believe and to trust there is more that is unfolding and about to flow into your world. Anything is possible; never forget that.
As with all New Moons, set your intentions, write abundance checks, enjoy a sacred Moon bath, or use this time to smudge and clear yourself or your environment for the upcoming lunar cycle.
For the time of the New Moon in your area, check the Moon Phases in the Lunar Calendar.

He Said Her Name
"it's been an ugly day" she said
"tell me something beautiful….."
and he said
her name
i read that somewhere….maybe pinterest
and thought it was beautiful.
i opened this image (an ad for fake
freckles from style.com) in Brushstroke app:
and gave it an oil painting effect with a tinted overlay:
next i took this image to Procreate app and did a few
brush strokes in her hair and painted over her face
and freckles to even out her skin:
in photoshop cs5 i added the stains
and the quote:
i finished by adding the scratches in
Analog app... as seen in the first image.

Monsieur Pepe Le Pew
Look what a fine fella has moved in to the neighborhood.
My daughter added this new rooster to her flock…a Polish.
I call him Pepe Le Pew with all his chasing around
of the girls. They haven't warmed up to him yet and
kind of do the Penelope Pussycat thing when he
tries to get jiggy with 'em. I feel sure that will change
soon.
"What is this? Oh, but of course. This little one wish to commit
suicide to prove her love for me. What a sweet gesture.
Nevertheless, I must prevent it."

Feeling Blessed…..
I love to greet each day on my porch..
coffee in hand…listening to the feathered
ones chittering amongst themselves as they
prepare for a new day. I sit…wrapped
in a blanket against the chill…
feeling blessed…
