What has happened?

I am gone.  I have only just returned. Time unraveled and the spool of it all was too far out to reach.  I have been gone too long.  I love it here.  I am gone for too long. I have lost my wrinkle in time.  I am happy on my carpet ride, but, I look longingly back here to my wondrous place, this faerytalespace and all it does for me.  I will always live here.  You can feel my light, even when I am gone, n'est ce pas?  I wish to go on adventures around the world, you know.  I have since I was little. I will make a  promise to myself that I will visit all the sweet and remarkable places in my heart's longing.  But, wait, until then, I can travel by visiting you! Bless you all for that. 

Closing my eyes, I remember...

I love the night. The imagination appears once we close our eyes, have you noticed? The fairytale begins.

How often do you remember hearing someone say, "Just close your eyes and imagine..." to you? It is where we can see ourselves in the brightest light this tight-eyed night. I close my eyes when kissed with such grace and gentleness. The kiss, the delicious, the deep. These are when eyes close and feeling is allowed. It is poetry to feel this way. It is poetry to feel this deep.

Velvet dark. I embrace.

I close my eyes to see a face.

I take me there

just a

blink.

I am there.

Fell.

Feel.

Must.

Trust.

I am there.

We close our eyes when we completely trust. We close our eyes when we wish. It is a resting to find the night in my eyes when the world has been so fierce. It is arresting. A stop to close them. A beginning to close them. The dark, the blue, the lights in you. Stars. A faerytale, its true.

We close our eyes when we are taken to another world with a simple touch.

"Eyes Be Closed" by Washed Out

Inside your voice resounds,

Your thoughts realign

Your words recall to mind

Your short sweet life

Hear voices all in time

Hear the words calling

Feel the wave form now, ride the foam,

See the world clearly now

Rising up you float outside yourself

Find the source of light

You fly home,

you go closer now

Rising towards the light...

I

am

from

the world

of other.

I love people... all of them.

"A Wise Woman Puts a Grain of Sugar Into Everything She Says..." ~Helen Roland

I understand people only in that they sprinkle themselves everywhere.

Some are glitter.

Some are blues eyes and devilish grins.

Music in the air.

Some leave lovely motes.

I leave what I feel everywhere.

I want to let it all in... so I let it all out.

I am.

I throw it into the air.

I am listening to Pink's "Glitter in the Air"

I always feel so much when I do.

Call me "Sugar."

"A wise woman puts a grain of sugar into everything she says to a man,
and takes a grain of salt with everything he says."

See my pinterest board titled, "Call Me Sugar."

YAY! I'm painting again!!!!

"Water is life's mater and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water."

~Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

After quite a dry spell, a busy world and some down moments with flu, I actually felt like pulling out some paints and brushes and I made one of my favorite subjects (you may recognize the subject in my banner, above) pink fish in a water lily pond. I made a new one, today, because the weather gave us so much beautiful snow that the light from the windows was sooo bright, it called to me. I know bright sunshine and white snow has an intoxicating way for me. It makes me feel so cocooned and inspired. I was glad to see my energy return and my watery little paintings are just the start of many more to keep my spirits up and filled with warm thoughts of dissolving into a perfect watery bliss. I hope you are all well and this post gives you a little light!

"I am home when I see love tucked in all the corners of my heart." ~Amy Sperry Faldet

Tenderness... beauty... light reside in the heart and shine when you step in the house and say with the greatest lilt in your voice, " I am home."

I am an only child. Even when I walk into my house and it is empty, I never feel lonely.

I understand my place in the world.

When, I say "home," it is a place in my heart. I speak to the solitude whispers with just as much love as when I speak to the rambunctious ramblings of my big family.

Home is sweet.

If I could tell a child one thing, it would be, "Love yourself," for that is the time when you are truly home.
