Angel wings


 One of my tasks this week was to make angel wings, well here they are.  When I think of angel wings it stirs memories of my friends and family who have left this earthly realm.  Life would have been much duller if they had not touched my life.  Rainbows always bring to mind my friend Bronwyn she lived life with an intensity and force, pushing herself into achieving anything she set her mind to.  Angels of course bring forth memories of Ronda without a h, Robyn such a gentle soul, dad who on his day of the funeral filled  the skies full of angel clouds, John whose presence in life was a force to be reckoned with and many others who are now in heaven.  Today is a day of reflection as the golden tips of wings light up my heart with memories of you all.

Present for lunch

Image
 One of the final tasks for this week was to have lunch in a different place. Yesterday my mind jumped from one thing to another trying to decide where best to go for lunch, drive somewhere or maybe wander around my own town and find a quiet spot, I decided on the latter, to do a slow walk locally and to take a packed lunch, it was a great decision. I  found the perfect spot down by the river, private from the route of tourists and yet I was still able to observe  my surroundings.  I  love that sense of awareness that comes from being still, the texture, the scent, the colours and activities of the living world began to fill me.  I didn't need to drive anywhere all of life's greatness presented itself to me while I sat and invited beauty to unfold, no searching just observing.  I watched on as a young girl practised her dance routine, while another balanced on her skateboard, as I looked up I  saw a pair of galahs investigating a new home in an ab...

Peace and gratitude

Image
 I created this piece many years ago, I think I was living in Melbourne at the time.  I wanted a change in mood and energy after completing my treatment and this mandala popped up as I was looking for something new to display in my home.  Since having its energy in my living area I was compelled to bring in more pink to my living space and bedroom, out came the paints and stencils as well as a few  cushions and throws transforming the rooms.  I now have a tranquil setting in my living room and bedroom reflecting the inner peace I am slowly experiencing as the constant hospital visits slow down. I am eternally grateful for all of the support provided to me from family, friends, doctors and nurses now it is time for  me to take time out in my creative environment and breathe in the beauty each day brings forth.

Getting back to normal

Image
 Yeah today I managed a 3.3km walk down by the river something I haven't done since March last year.  It was so nice to get out and push through that lethargy left by the treatment.  I wasn't  sure how I would go but managed it, so pleased to feel like my life is returning to some form of normality.  Following up yesterday's writing on Geoffrey he would have been turning  70 this year I am wondering if there might be a commemoration happening for him and that is why he is on my mind, his birthday  is the 23rd of March, I will hold my own rememberance of him on that day.  Second day of the purple drug trial thinking I might do a liver cleansing juice 2 x a week to help the liver function better.
