"if you want greatness, you have to put the time into greatness,

.. .i think the best thing that ever happened to me was that i was able to express myself, & find talents that i don't think i have.. .im drawing inspiration from my life, from history, from movies, from books, from everything i see.. .this is what i breath"
Ralph Lauren

from the 4:05 minute movie,  

& tender thoughts for Michelle & Matilda, always!!!

& for the the loveliness of blue{it took me a little while to find that :) }

loveliest thoughts

her meticulous regard ~

today is painting thoughts & forming dreams, bright & convuluted concoctions of whimsy & depth{a juxtapostition of the necessary with the daintily unfurling} & the solitary gurgle of the heart swimming upstream{so steep, achingly so!} but the tenacity for navigating life's precipice is found! & others i find, in crevices & down holes, left, lost, & forgotten, but nevermind, brush off the damp & help them climb out, finding light{little by little, since baby steps are best for building firm foundations} a heartful & caring emergence of warmth & eager capacity.. .this brisk & sparkling avidity, fervently abounds!



& oh i love her words, "walk slowly, and bow often" how perfect!

Augment & Burgeon!!! {bloom & grow}

today i wish i could sew words into bright jewels, shimmering mountains of the buoyant & blithe, outlined in silken murmurs of the heart's inner-self! i wish i could hyphenate moments with elastic happiness, the kind that reverberates into a crescendo of the truly sublime, swirling in an affable blend of the tangible &; the hoped-for.. .an ever-increasing graciousness sparkling into the sunset at eventide, when bliss is found in shooting stars & dreams are swung on the wind, heralding that verduous apothecary of love!!! Beware, my agile old nemesis Self-doubt, Move on, you unctuous & crippling Self-pity, for i am{we are, my dear friends?} still nimble & hopeful!! still ripe in the comforting arms of healing-balm, & Nature's own good grace!!!

& these images to express what my heart feels!!!
