hy art

no real explanation necessary. but you could order at least one box of cards from him....

take me away

i will be arriving in la later this evening. the itinerary includes a trip to southbay- manhattan beach, including at least one (possibly 3) amends left from the tweaking days. i have faith that my intentions are good and that i can withstand any direction these may take. i have support in place, too. then i will attend a conference for a couple of days including workshops and meetings. i will be afforded the opportunity to spend time with some friends, including marc the trash whisper, and then i want to visit another fellow blogger who has been an inspiration to me. he has a blog titled aids-write and spearheads an advocacy program for medical marijuana. his name is richard kearns. he writes poetry, he is an activist, and he is a long term aids survivor. hopefully i can interview him a little and i will try to post it on the international carnival or somewhere along those lines.

"what's next" is a question rolling around my head even through this lovely weekend. and to tell the truth, i honestly don't know what is next. i am trying to get right with that fact. that i really don't know and that no matter what, not knowing is okay. and not knowing is where i need to be.

i do have faith that something really wonderful is beginning to happen in my world. i cherish that idea and hopefully am making room for that to move into my life.

and truth be told, i have been immersed in one segment of my life the last couple of weeks. it's been pretty hard to really look beyond that little nano-drama. and this is something that needs to change soon.

this morning i'm thinking about my friend marc in la. marc olmsted started a new line of greeting cards to coincide with his hyrbrid art he has been playing with on his blog "the trash whisperer". He sent me a pack of card which i received last night. i love them. they are so cheery, no words inside (which I love) and they are small and mounted on white with white envelopes. Check out his art at cyber art.. these very cute cards will make a great way to tell folks i'm thinking of them.

of course i am following up a post that inspired a post which then inspired this post. the flow of the blogworld tempo is pretty amazing. marc olmsted has been working on an artform for a while now which he has christened "hy-art". it is hybrid art borne out of classic art and has its own vibrato.

i am a big fan of him. his writing, his hy-art, and his kindness. so i am happy to encourage you to take a peek at some of his creative spirit. i cannot tell you though, how much more impressed i am by the things that go on inside his heart.

when i say that recovery does indeed work and that the wonders it can bring are miraculous, i would definitely say that marc is a shining example of just that. if you follow him for awhile, i'm sure you'll come to agree.
