One day, Dad / I’ll have hands just like yours / One day, Dad / They’ll be as strong as yours / One day, Dad / I hope to be a man like you / Loving husband / Caring father / These tiny hands of mine / So new to the world / Can feel that Love and Gentleness / Of a real man / And, one day / when you’re old and frail / These little hands / Will be there for you / The one who stood by me / If I could choose my Dad / It would still be you / For this I know for sure / I couldn’t have chosen better!

STALKING TIGER Slowly through the grass / The tiger stalked his prey / His movement long and languid / In the middle of the day / The sun was high and bright / As a vivid burning orb / His body moving slowly / Less heat there to absorb / Gazelles were moving fitfully / Around the waterhole / Nervous eyes were flitting wildly / As the world they did behold / A movement in the distance / And the animals did jump / The nerve ends all a jangling / Each one with quivering rump / Then like avenging angels / The tiger now does pounce / Gazelles are scattering wildly / With a death like spinning dance / And one of them is slower / No longer held at bay / The tiger now triumphant / As it finishes its prey Phil Sanders (aka Brummieboy) / 5/4/07 Thanks for the wonderful poem Phil!
I read this quote from Rachel Naomi Remen, MD who for nearly 50 years has been struggling with Crohn’s disease—a painful digestive condition, in an article from Oprah Magazine, April 2002.

I’ve Seen Her I’ve seen my love; I’ve seen her pass, She walks with such a grace. She turned and smiled across at me, The sun upon her face. And I could swear I caught the scent, The fragrance of her hair. Could I believe – should I believe, Her spirit blessed me there? Her eyes so bright, they shone with love, No pain to cloud them now, And when she laughed, no line was seen, Across that perfect brow. Oh love, if you would only wait, Beyond the tears and pain, We’ll walk together, hand in hand, In love, In peace, Again. David George
Heartwood is the dead wood at the center of a trunk or branch of a tree. Although it no longer sustains the tree’s life by conducting water, it does supply support. / I find wonderful symbolism in the definition of a tree and what characterizes “heart”as giving strength and support. A peak inside the heart of this old tree shows an interesting curl. Almost as if it is embracing itself.
Oil Pastel and Acrylic On Paper Concept: This is one of the many in Ophelia’s Love Encounters Series, it’s her experience of many facets of this wonderful thing called LOVE.. This is what she has to say about love today : ” Love makes you feel larger than life, gives you the courage to conquer all odds at hand.” This is a full size version with its night sky, I love the cropped one as well as it emphasises on the “large-ness”. Love in many of my quotes and paintings is open to personal interpretations, doesn’t necessarily mean love in the romantic sense. You can view and buy my other “Love Makes You Feel Larger Than Life” creations at my Zazzle Gallery:
this picture says alot to me.. i’ve lost alot of people in my life… and anybody who has lost someone knows how it feels…. / even though it feels like things wont get better, they eventually do. / i call this photo “in loving memory” because the single rose reminds me of the people who have left this earth, with such grace and beauty. if you care to share a story of a loved one you’ve lost, feel free. You don’t have to.. but if you’d like to, i don’t mind.

In honor of the efforts of Kathleen and her groups’ Art Blog for Peace, where we blog our hearts out for 2009 in Peace, here is my contribution… “Peace has to be created, in order to be maintained. It is the product of Faith, Strength, Energy, Will, Sympathy, Justice, Imagination, and the triumph of principle. It will never be achieved by passivity or quietism.” Dorothy Thompson My Peace Blogs: PEACE CANDLES Writing4Peace Alliance for a new Humanity Tribute to Peace MUSIC Happy New Year – 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I am so excited to announce that my dear sister carlotta peacock and myself have just launched the Group – Sisters in Arms – WooHoo!!! Just finished working on this mandala last night and wrote a poem, so besides our logo this will be my contribution to a launching piece… Libran stars arisen as destiny called my chosen birth / Bloodlines from two worlds collide as I seek self worth Atlantean division between bloods’ continental divide / Bridged with similar Nature spirits, as divinity’s guide Celtic roots predominate with Gaia’s inner red glow / Certain myths resonate a fire inside – this truth I know Tsalagi is a true blood path, as I walk upon homeland / differences the same, I feel – relating to a scheme so grand Deep within, DNA’s sacred spiral of lineage spins / likened to sisters inside, two souls and colors akin Balance and Healing the key in this peaceful merge / while accepting these tribal characters, as they converge Related in mindful choices and affective change – in hopes / Of Aquarian consciousness awakening love’s kaleidoscope. tkrosevear 2/5/2009 You raise me up
this is a commission I received from someone who wanted a Stonehenge picture without anyone in it… / here’s the result. Hope it’s alright… / So everyone is aware – this is a photomanipulation – not an actual photo that I took…. / I manipulated sky, grass, clouds, colors…. :) to give it a fantasy feel… Peace, Claudia
For all beloved sisters
i was originally going to call this Savaged but decided to call it Survival because thats what women do, they survive against all odds and this is a tribute to those women who stand tall and proud and make this world a safer place for their sisters and daughters….....this work was influenced by the style of Francis Bacon.. sketched in corel painter and then painted using artists oil brushes textures added….......

the sounds of life / sing a song / to bring me near… / in quiet nature / as we / feel the sea / touch the wind / hear the sound / of beating hearts / and laughter… / while singing songs / to dance.
we are life, / here and now / no male or female / no black or white / no young or old / no wrong or right / no weak or strong / no ballad of the opposites / or questions urgent for answers / no time no distance / we are life / here and now. this is one of my favorite peaces of wood..every way i look and see another story another smile. or tears that need to fall..we all have a story ..a place we are from.. things to remember as not to forget. i will be putting up images of this peace of wood… / in a series called ….......wood, you dance.. / second in the series / third in the series / fourth in the series as i smile…. /
My Website Thomas wrote a lovely poem for this image I created. Please go check out his work. / Thank you so much Tom !! :) Tracks of Life At times the tracks of our lives lead us on a path through the darkest reaches of our minds. / The mist covers the memories of moments we need to pass, let go of, move on from. / Our fears scream from the darkness, clawing at our souls, grabbing at our hearts. / If we pause we are lost. / The journey takes us through the darkness into a light filled with hope. / Rays of security fill us with warmth and / the strength to drive forward into a world bright with love Thomas Simunsen
