A New Online Art Class

an Outdated and Obsolete Method....I hope so

“It is my belief that whereas the twentieth century has been a century of war and untold suffering, the twenty-first century should be one of peace and dialogue. As the continued advances in information technology make our world a truly global village, I believe there will come a time when war and armed conflict will be considered an outdated and obsolete method of settling differences among nations and communities.”

His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Rumi for the Soul & Beyond

Something opens our wings

Something makes boredom and hurt disappear

Someone fills the cup in front of us

We taste only sacredness

~Rumi

I have a cold today so reading his words are so comforting.

It is gray again today...yes that is what it is like living in Portland

I hear spring is on its way...

The Sun Came Out Today--

And That is a big deal in Portland; everyone outside running, walking, smiling, driving, looking, hugging, you name it...it feels like we are living under a giant green/gray leaf and then someone removes it for a few hours and we all run outside....a blue sky to boot! Sitting in the car with the windows down to breath the fresh air...starting to see tulips coming up...spring will be here in a few weeks...I actually feel like I am getting a cold so that is not fun....hope not! But better now then on my vacation to Az in a couple of weeks.
