Shaky days

 

Comforting myself

 

My art - Your art

 

A spark

 

Emotional Release

 

MEEeeee!

 

Love

 

Reach for the sky; Reach for your dreams

 

A ball of light

 

Staying in the loop; Staying clear-minded

I'm gonna make "good trouble".

Feeling rushed!

What does my heart need right now?

 

Giving myself a hug

 

Peace of mind

A loss

 

Ruben, the maintenance supervisor in my apartment complex, is leaving. I am upset and sad. Ruben's been the head of maintenance here for 15 years. He made sure it was easy and convenient for me to get repairs in my home.

After the slumlords I had in my last apartment who often refused to do the repairs I needed, Ruben was a breath of fresh air.

I wish I knew the person management will get to replace him will run things equally well, but I don't know for sure. I can't go back to having to beg to get a clogged toilet or a leak repaired.

Ruben was not only a wonderful supervisor, he is a good, kind, caring, decent man. Those don't come around every day.

I will greatly miss him, his enthusiasm for his work and his friendly face. 😍

Loss is hard, whatever form it takes.

Seeing ME

 

Art is resistance

 

Art is life: Life is art

 

Achy hands, Achy knees, Achy neck Achy ME

 

Surrounding myself with love : Dispelling loneliness

 

Afterwards

 

What's on my plate?

Grumpy, cranky, moody, meh

 

This is how I am feeling: Grumpy, cranky, moody, meh. Locked up tight in my body so my feelings can't flow. This is what I know:

These days are dark. We are all waiting for someone - some ones -to come forth and stop the madness. Who is going to stop it? Will it ever stop? Where are our leaders?

I say, "Impeach!" Is anyone listening? Is anyone taking action? As my teacher, Amy Ferris wrote, "Democrats, grow a spine!" "Be like Al Green!" Act NOW!

Oru world is collapsing. Who is going to catch it? Send in the Light Brigade! Or S.W.A.T.!  Those with guts and power, step up now!

These days are dark, but if we band together, maybe,  just maybe, there will come light and ease. Put the brakes on the madness!

I..., well,  just I. I spsak. I am. I hope. Even in the dark, I hope.

Monday, Monday

 

Balanced

 

It's very important these days, to do whatever you can to get back to balance when thrown off-balance. We want to be clear-minded, centered and grounded so we are able to see what' really happening in our country (USA) and do what we can to fight back and stop it - the chaos, the madness and the dismantling of our government and democracy. Keep your eyes open and forge ahead.

Ease

 

Politics as it is today

 

Loving ME

 

Lean

 

A solution

 

Support

 

Enraged. Angry. Outraged.
