The ups and downs of the weather have me fighting with my sinuses again-the weather is crazy! I hope you are feeling well~
My horoscope was rather odd today! Yes, it happens once in a blue moon-the words seem to suit you! I know it is the law of physics, but this was especially unique~
"Poetry might be defined as the clear expression of mixed feelings," wrote W.H. Auden. If that's true, then your job is to be a poet right now. You seem to be awash in a hubbub of paradoxical inclinations, complete with conflicting desires and mismatched truths. There's no shame or blame in that. But you do have a responsibility to communicate your complexity with honesty and precision. If you can manage that, people will treat you with affection and give you extra slack. They might even thank you.
Try this: Prime your connection with spirit by focusing your attention on tones and shapes you usually miss: reflections in windows, the sky between the oak tree's branches, the shadows on the water, the two different emotions in a friend's eyes and mouth.
What makes this even more bizarre is-the art I created yesterday! I followed the advice of Alex and Sherry!! Thank you~ I have been playing with creating visual poetry. I was inspired by Emily Dickinson's poetry. The woman ended up a hermit. Her nickname was 'The Myth'. It is written she had a penchant for white and was often seen peering out her window. I recently saw this book, The Gorgeous Nothings: Emily Dickinson's Envelope Poems- I was intrigued. I created art representative of her envelope poems. I am getting ready to mail my art in for an art challenge. I wrote the cover letter and in it I mentioned 'reflections in windows'.
Over at dVerse,, Grace was talking about the time change! She told us she is thankful to see the sun on her morning commute. The time change makes me crave light, even though I do love the night-my time alone to write. How do you feel about the time change, the lack of light?

Enlightened Mysteries
I crave trickling honey
caressing my hair
playing hide n' seek
black box catches it
adjusting for freeze fast
I lock in and capture
expose it
thread it through my day
and hope tomorrow
it bleeds and seeps
into my soul's
enlightened mysteries
like lightening bugs
dancing on paper

dani
agree with the other voices, that your art is intriguing and hopefully will see more
Taurus; I know it well!
gracias
I specially like capturing luminance & threading it through my day ~ Such imagery, I love it ~
Alex-Thank you! The thing is I have been doing it-but not on my own accord. I am creating art I think the magazine wants. Here I am creating what I want and maybe it will fit one of their challenge and maybe not. This is where I need to trend-you n' Sherry reminded me of this~ Thank you *smiles* Off to finish my IWSG-is it really November?! augh...
Mary-Yes, those lightening bugs do glow in our dark worlds. Hopefully our poems offer someone some light!
Thank you~
Grace-I love that you are a Taurus, too. We are actually gentle creations who would love to bask in the sunshine and blossoms of the day. The myth about the china closet is so not me. I bet it isn't you either...
Thank you so much~
Nene-Thank you! Yes, we do recognize the descending light and try to capture it! Thanks again...
dani-I am so sorry! How sad-okay a few edits, but it sounds like they wanted to change who you are?!
Tough call, but I'd say you made the right one~ (((hugs))) xo
This makes me sad...
Vandana-Thank you so much~ *smiles*
Brian-Thank you! I am going to try this medium out~ It is intriguing to research poets and see what inspired them~ *smiles to you*
Helen-Me too! It usually takes me a few weeks to adjust~ Some states do not "fall back"-I have lived in a few~ Thank you so much!
You make me want to paint again, but first I have five art pieces to complete~ Thank you so much! I wanted to represent her white world and envelope poems~ @>-------
Laura-Thank you so much!! I know-I had so much fun creating it~ @>-------
Gabriella-It does feel this way, when those words jump out at us!
*smiles to you* Thank you~
Bjorn-Thank you! I know I feel the same way-I like the night, but need the day light to inspire~
Thank you!
