The Gathering
30 x 40 Oil on Canvas
““With freedom, flowers, books, and the moon, who could not be perfectly happy?”. Oscar Wilde
This past week I moved into painting something soft and brushed with the colors of my heart. I am pretty sure it is done unless I unleash on it next week once it is dry for a second time. When I think of bringing in a neutral off-white to the painting, it seems to puzzle me on why... I still may do it. I am rather drawn into this soft colorful hydrangea painting.
Meanwhile I was up till after midnight struggling with something that kept me awake, but nothing I could grasp easily. I pulled out my spiral and began writing. Four pages later, a peace began to fill my mind and my body began to relax.
We are all a product of our environment. We are affected by computers, ipads, phones, television and more. I heard on the news the new Iphone 11 is causing cases of Tripophobia. I remain speechless on that one. We are a product of insanity and fear it seems. What ever the media wants to shove at us affects us, or rather some of us.
For me it was the craziness of sliding this 13 year old blog into a new template for a cleaner look, but with it I found myself giving up the comfort of what I knew... into the "Oh my stars, what have I done?" I am thankful for the blogger gurus, but still not content with what you see today.
I was trying to go to sleep last night with the knowledge I had messed up something comfortable to me and it would be in this mess until morning. Throw in staying on the computer till very late... I do not recommend that any more.
Meanwhile I came to the conclusion that Terry and I are too invested in media of all sorts and appliances that go with them. No wonder we are agitated and bossy. I prayed last night to find a peace in waiting on the Lord to resolve the obstacles I seem to be wrestling. I need to hand them over... to Him. Next I want to be a better woman, daughter, wife, mother and grandmother. In addition I should always find something positive to share or say. (Back to my Dad who taught us if you can't say something nice, do not say anything at all.) It is just not setting the example God wants us to set, it is living the way God wants us to live. Do no harm. Focus on what is right there in front of you and do not worry about tomorrow. Always love and lift up with positive affirmation the beauty and purpose of everyone. Happiness is not in the 'getting' but in the giving.
God's love is unfailing. His patience with us is unending. Be patient with yourself and with others in your life.
