The Rose That Decided to Stay, One Cut Flower’s Story
This dainty, lovely rose is the first bloom from a special plant. This was a cut flower. It took root in the vase and so was transplanted. After a few rough patches, a new season is in bloom. Here is the first budding flower, of many more to come.From A Cut Flower With Odds Against SurvivingTo New Beginnings And Some Tough Times TooNow With Steadfast Roots Blooming Among Friends
Originally from The San Fernando Valley, in Los Angeles, I now live (mostly) in San Francisco, California. I found my artistic voice meandering between my early career in recreation and a later career in hospice as a Chaplain/Bereavement Counselor. Through my own personal journey of renewal, and through the companioning of courageous grieving souls (of whom I am ever indebted), I have come to realize how important artistic self-expression is to our spiritual development, growth, and healing. Expressing ourselves is healing. Witnessing another human being's journey through self-expression is also healing. Art heals. It just does. This blog is to assist one another in the artful journey of renewal and healing.
My passions, some of which include photography, gardening, painting, and woodwork, are naturally my favorite sources of inspiration and renewal. I fully embrace the lifestyle philosophy of re-creating the mind, body, and soul through self-expression - and play! Nothing is more descriptive of play to me than creating art. Each of us enjoys the opportunity to - and faces the responsibility of - exploring and implementing our own means of self-expression. My hope is that we can share, and grow, and companion with one another along the way.
