artbeco: The world for women
http://artbeco.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-world-for-women.html
Seeking beauty in the midst of busy days as an artist, photographer, craftsperson, and parent of twin boys. Monday, June 02, 2014. The world for women. People talk about white male privilege, and how being a white straight male is the easiest road. Yet the gunmen who go on rampages and kill innocent people, students, little kids, are overwhelmingly white males. I can't claim to understand it. Writer Michelle Sagara thinks things through in a rational and cogent way. I see that easy sort of lack of gut-le...

Seeking beauty in the midst of busy days as an artist, photographer, craftsperson, and parent of twin boys. Thursday, January 31, 2013. Decluttering in the wake of passing time. And do I donate the dinosaurs? Out of sight, out of mind? I like to think that I would respect their wishes, and not just ruthlessly get rid of toys they love, but the bald truth is we can't keep everything, forever. I have intentions of reclaiming the space in the living room that is now filled with toy shelves, and re-hanging t...

Seeking beauty in the midst of busy days as an artist, photographer, craftsperson, and parent of twin boys. Tuesday, May 20, 2014. That little voice whispers, I want to create things. It's surprisingly persistent against all of the angry, shouting voices that ridicule it and try to drown it out. I'll die inside if I can't create something. It whispers. I don't want to waste this. What if my time is short? I was given a gift to be used. Life is slipping through my fingers. May 21, 2014 at 1:23 AM. Beckett...

Seeking beauty in the midst of busy days as an artist, photographer, craftsperson, and parent of twin boys. Monday, March 25, 2013. Life has been very busy with boy sports and school stuff and other obligations that we've taken on for various reasons. Like so we can eat, pay bills, let the boys do sports, those sorts of mundanities. You can go look. If you haven't heard or seen them before and you're interested. I should warn you that it's possibly triggery for anybody who's dealt with cancer and suc...

Seeking beauty in the midst of busy days as an artist, photographer, craftsperson, and parent of twin boys. Monday, November 11, 2013. My dad joined up when he was 17, though he lied about his age. He was young and cocky and a lot of guys were doing it; it seemed like the right thing to do at that time, under those circumstances. He went from this young man:. To this, taken shortly after he was discharged:. Links to this post. Monday, November 04, 2013. Changes in attitude, changes in gratitude. For whic...

Seeking beauty in the midst of busy days as an artist, photographer, craftsperson, and parent of twin boys. Monday, December 24, 2012. Little kids, first. That are fleeting in their own way. There's a lot to be said for enjoying the moment. Links to this post. Tuesday, December 04, 2012. I had this car. It was towed away (which we weren't told was an option) and it might be too late, but they'd give us the tow yard's number and let us see if we could get it back, though they didn't hold out much hope....

Seeking beauty in the midst of busy days as an artist, photographer, craftsperson, and parent of twin boys. Monday, May 18, 2015. Eduardo the Adventure Bunny. Taunya and I were driving to the art store down in San Jose because I needed some illustration board. It's gotten harder to find good art supplies around here since some of the better places have closed, but the one down in San Jose is pretty good, though it's not in a very good section of town. One fortune said: 'You have great physical powers and...

Seeking beauty in the midst of busy days as an artist, photographer, craftsperson, and parent of twin boys. Thursday, May 09, 2013. What is with all of the bullying? There seems to be a lot of it going on in the media, in politics, all around us. Adults in positions of power are doing and saying the most appalling things. It really makes you wonder what happened when they were kids. Where does that come from? Why didn't they learn better early on? In the future. The way this particular incident was h...
