A little haiku on Forest Wisdom: Solidarity Sappy Source of Seasoned Strength Surrender, then Seed The Grünewald Guild will celebrate 40 years in 2020. We now turn toward living into this time together. Community Sourcing: What are the writings/music/art on forests that have moved you? #vondadreesart

Lol... well, tried something different... And... Not at all surprising, nature brings me more joy. #vondadreesart

musing on some simple lines and a theme of continuity #vondadreesart

My dad used to love seeing trilliums along the roadside. He’d say, every time, as we drove by them, “Look! Trillions of trilliums!” Maybe this is one-in-a-trillion trilliums... just for you, Dad. #vondadreesart

I read a Daily Good article this morning featuring an interview with Bronnie Ware, the author of The Top Five Regrets of the Dying. I’ll paraphrase them in their wish form: to live true to yourself, to work less, to express your feelings, to stay in touch with friends, and to let yourself be happy. Next, the interview turned to her book, Bloom: A Tale of Courage, Surrender, and Breaking Through Upper Limits. I found it intriguing that the journal page I had turned to, the other side of a page done three years ago, was a visual opening for me to understand the article. There is something more here, I can sense it. #vondadreesart

In a quiet place, the heart notices love’s call to participate. #vondadreesart

Painting takes a longer creative breath than my usual journaling practice... And so, I am grateful for this reminder, this memory from my friend, Mary: Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only [s]he who sees takes off [her] shoes; The rest sit round and pluck blackberries. Elizabeth Barrett Browning #vondadreesart

Although I underestimated the tomato, it still feels good to be back in the oil-paintin’ saddle. :) #vondadreesart

I’ve been waiting for creative reorientation, for some undeniable catalyst, for the wellspring of wonder. There are plenty of things I could do. What will flourish? “Imagine designing spring.” -Janine Benyus #vondadreesart
