the inevitable low
following the high

while in boston
i was thrilled to learn
of a dale chihuly exhibit
at the museum of fine arts
enough with the running
time to indulge
the creative spirit
and bask in the genius
of chihuly

a bit of pre-marathon excitement
and yes, i took the time to shoot this picture
and still met my goal
of finishing in under 30 minutes!

although the extended weekend
was tiring
i would have to protest
and declare that
boston was no drain
at all
but rather
quite a delight!

if you should happen
to drive by dick's drive-in & dairy dip
on merivale road

the boston marathon
on april 18th
he never told me
i'd see his name in lights...

a treasured find
at st-vinnie's today
a table runner

run on my table

it should be hanging on a wall
like art

a little neighbourhood humour
goes a long way
on a day
when the creative energy
seems fleeting
(as i approach my first 100 days of this 365 project, i am painfully aware of being in a total slump - and i need to let that be ok...)

when the day is done
and i realize
once again
that the creative flow
barely trickles
i am reminded
that this current state is impermanent
and that
i
am
buddha-full

starry, starry night.
paint your palette blue and grey,
look out on a summer's day,
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
