playing with paints
(This is day 2 of 30 Tiny Moments for me - I am not pressuring myself to post to my blog each day, but I would like to try...but last night SOMEONE kept waking up and I laid down with him and fell asleep by 9:30...)
When my darling, beloved Michelle posted this poem, I left her a comment saying, "This is going in my new journal." There was so much that I loved about this poem, especially the line "become a student of grace" - everything about it was journal-worthy. In some small way, it gives me a sense of planting a seed for whoever finds this journal o' mine in the years to come - I imagine they will wonder, who is this poet? And hop onto the future version of Google and be led to Michelle's work - a neat, tidy Internet circle. It gives me a thrill. (Of course, she could be so well known that future Google is not even necessary...)
I did write the poem down, weeks ago, but yesterday I started playing around with simply doodling and painting my doodles in with watercolors. The page with the poem felt empty and blank, calling out for roses and life...
Beautiful.
