I am sitting here waiting for the guys to get here so we can play.  I made notebooks for everybody so we can made a few notes as we experiment.  There are 50 different pieces listed in them.  I think we have enough material for a while.  The secret decoder rings are on back order. 🙂  Now I need to go get some wine and order some pizza.  It’s hard work running a band.  But somebody has to get the wine.  Be Groovy! 🙂

For my metal flower maker – Her art above

She is an artist

A worker in metal and word and plants and light and sound and children

Hard as the Iron she bends to her will.  Soft and gentle as the dandelion against her baby’s skin

Hear her rage against the dross which threatens her young men.  Her fire burns bright and white hot against it

Hear her soft cooing, the tender touch of love words and sounds spoken as a blessing over the little one

She is fierce in love and in war and in her wanting of what Ought to be, she tastes the Truth and will have it

Strong immovable is she, even in her weakness delicate braided steel undergirds her being, and in her bending there is no break

Yet the soul of her is a child, wondrous, playful, alive.  Circumstance batters and buffets and bullies but does not overcome

She practices the art of love and beauty on the medium of life as it comes to her

Beauty calls and quickens her. Consummate artist, driven to create.  Her life a poem, exquisite and unique among women

She flings herself into what Ought not be like a blunt hammer at times, shifting the shapes to suit her vision

The music of her will repeat through the ages now.  Rise lovers of her!  Stand at attention in awe and wonder, desire her

Praise the form and soul of her.  Honor her fierce tenderness and loyalty to her craft.  Love has now lifted her, casting now complete, shackles of circumstance broken and brushed away

Breath rushes, pulse quickens, as the many facets turn in the light of her.  Veil now lifted and we know that the true masterpiece was, is, and shall always be her, revealed, glorious, triumphant

Finding Her Groove

Standard

Sun and Moon Jackie

 

The baby is finding her groove.  She seems to like folksy funky stuff.  She is such a cool human being.  She was working on jewelry this morning.  Said she was going to start an Etsy business (if that is the correct spelling).  She is good at putting together outfits from the thrift store.  So she can be a personal shopper – poet – artist – jewelry maker – vet – travel blogger – and folk singer. It is a big world and she can make her’s like she wants.  She is most Groovy! 🙂
