artandsoul: June 2011
http://artandsoul-writing.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 28, 2011. After a delightful ferry ride across the Bay of Fundy we meandered our way through New Brunswick toward Woodstock. We found a sweet diner open for lunch and consulted the map about where to cross back over into the US, looking for parts of Maine we hadn't seen yet. And what else was there? Why, an abandoned Customs House! With not a fence, or a prohibitive sign in sight. So, Joe pulled up (over my objections) and got out to inspect. I mean, why didn't they take their stuff? Shatte...

Monday, June 21, 2010. Go ahead. Sing it. "From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream waters, this land was made for you and me.". Welcome to my world. This little gem has been boring a hole in my head for days now. But I will take it, yes I will. Because there is something so majestic, so gorgeous, so ancient and so amazing about The Redwoods that my brain is a paltry sacrifice to such an altar! I'm not sure what it is that is different. And then we came to the Redwoods. I could not stop staring. He to...

Sunday, March 13, 2011. Sheesh. Who knew when they asked you "Better, or worse; sickness or health: richer or poorer? They also meant: Are you willing to act in amateur dramas on Sunday afternoons in front of strangers? My husband is taking a class in the process of becoming a Deacon in the Catholic Church. They have studied The Book of Job, and each class member has to do some Parish presentation on this book - and so we will do an adapted play. Curse God and die! Monday, March 7, 2011.

artandsoul: Second Question
http://artandsoul-writing.blogspot.com/2011/08/second-question.html
Saturday, August 13, 2011. Within each of your Groups do you see commonalities? I think the first commonality for me is that all of the items in all of the groups are specific to me. I had something particular in mind, even though I wrote a rather abstract word. I've been to each city, landscape and interior. and I wear those items of clothing, and am surrounded by those colors. The landscapes are all ones that are archetypal to me. Places I have been and that have swooned me. I can see the grand...And t...

artandsoul: February 2011
http://artandsoul-writing.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 14, 2011. Whose hand is this? I am sitting at a desk. Writing in a journal. Thoughts coming fast and furious, pen scratching across the page and I have an awareness of this hand on the desk. It is wrinkled, old. The fingers are stubby. There are freckles and age spots. The skin is papery. And did I mention wrinkled? Whose hand is this? It can’t be mine. My hands are strong and capable. They wash and carry and love and write and haul and choose and comfort and gesture. We have tales to te...

Red at the Golden. Alfred Molina (Rothko); Eddie Redmayne (Ken). London’s Donmar Warehouse Production. Golden Theater, 45th and Broadway, NYC. Alfred Molina makes a compelling artist. In the movie. What do you see? What do you feel? The ultimate temple of consumption? Who will attend these murals? The Rothko Chapel is far away in time and geography. In New York could use more silence. But there is much to praise. Written by Lesley Valdes. April 22, 2010 at 2:32 am. Tagged with Abstract Expressionism.

artandsoul: May 2011
http://artandsoul-writing.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 29, 2011. When we travel we try to stay away from chain restaurants. This is pretty easy if you stay on back roads, and go through small towns. In this area, Boone is actually the "big" city - but it's a college town so there are some really interesting, eclectic choices. Last night we ate at the Hob Nob Farm Cafe. It's a world cafe, and their menu goes from sushi to burritos to thai curry! We did not have pie. Saturday, May 28, 2011. We left Tallahassee on Thursday morning, determined to get...

artandsoul: October 2010
http://artandsoul-writing.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 30, 2010. Time and time again . Having just spent a week in one of my most favorite places on earth, I am reminded of the breadth of time and depth of inner space. I can forget about that when my world becomes compressed into the quotidian demands of a busy life. I'm struck by the great fortune of my life to be able to spend a week being still, yet moving; being silent, yet speaking; being . really just being . and in that place finding the grace and abundance of love that is.
