five things friday: artists, patience, cutting and pasting

Hello there,

What a difference a little break makes. Covid is finally in the rear view mirror but the broken tooth continues to be a painful journey. However, I am feeling much better resourced having chosen to slow down over pushing through. Giving myself some extra rest and time, not to mention the care of a doctor, dentist, and osteopath has allowed space for much needed healing and perspective.

I forget that sometimes the difference between frazzled and grounded is a few nos and asking for help. Maybe I should tattoo this on my forearm.

Here are few of the things catching my attention, imagination, and heart. I hope you enjoy them.

I've been seeking out stories of older women artists. Here is one on Eunice Parsons, now 106 years old.

I've been inspired to rip and paste and glue.

Worlds within worlds.

Living with loss (aka being human) looks like this.

Remember this:

It is now this!

The result of some patience is this gloriously deep red Saint John's Wort infused oil. Greater patience is letting another jar infuse away through the summer, but this one I have strained and am enjoying. Just looking at it makes me happy, and I can feel the potent solstice solar magic and healing when I use it. When I was a teenager I wanted to study herbalism. I sometimes wish I had followed through with that dream, but am doing my best to learn what I can now.

What in nature is calling to you? Do you have any former dreams are coming to visit again?

A blessing for your week:

(Justice/ Gladiolus from the Botanica Tarot by Kevin Jay Stanton)

May fairness and balance find you, may integrity guide you.

Until next time,
Sandi
