Morning Collage Page




I've been spending a few minutes each morning 
creating a digital collage on Polyvore.
It's kind of the same idea as Julia Cameron's suggestion
to do Morning Pages, only with images instead of words.

What I'm finding is that I'm drawn to certain images, 
colors, and themes and tend to return to them
 again and again.


Circles, for example, and blues and greens.
Birds. Botantical images. Asian-inspired things.
Doors. Windows. Textures.

But then again,
I guess I already knew that.

When we create in this way,
are we tapping into our unconscious?
Perhaps even exposing hidden parts of us?

I think so.

In fact sometimes things get downright hard and cold and unforgiving. Not at all what we expected. Do we stay and make the best of it or fly away to build a new nest somewhere else? Sometimes the most valuable lessons come from learning to see the beauty right in front of your eyes. Sometimes we bloom most gloriously when we learn to thrive just where we are and come to love just what we have. Maybe each of us is exactly where we need to be, learning lessons custom-made for us.

Haiku My Heart: May the Fourth Be With You

Haiku My Heart i invite you to imagine living in peace one day at a time I have to admit that I'm finding it hard to celebrate the birthday of my country having declared its independence from Mother England, when the country was founded on institutionalized slavery, the idea that white men were created equal but but black men were less than and women weren't even considered. We tend to glorify the "all men are created equal" phrase without looking at the reality. We can do better. We must.
