How Green It Is

The green hues in Vermont have been breathtaking (it’s not called the “Green Mountain State” for nothin’). Add the blossoming trees, tulips and fields filled with dandelions — well, you can only imagine how this delights me after a very long winter. The beauty often brings me to tears.

This is my latest painting — “Green I”. It’s not for sale at the moment — I’m not ready to let go of it quite yet.

And I have to laugh at all of this end-of -the-world talk today. If this isn’t heaven, what is?

Enjoy the green.

What’s An Intuitive Like You Writing Poetry?

or…what’s a poet like me doing in an intuitive place like this?

As a Gemini, I have been blessed with an embarrassment of creative riches. Writing, speaking, painting, photography. The arts come easily for me.

But like any Gemini, the matter is really whether I choose to use them or not.

Painting and photography are especially easy and fun because I don’t think about it. I just pick up the camera or brush and begin. And when people enjoy the end result, I’m pleasantly surprised and thrilled — but don’t really put effort into gaining approval.

Writing, on the other hand … hah. More »
