Color is a Means of Liberation

 "Color, even more than drawing, is a means of liberation."

-Henri Matisse

Sometimes it's a bit of a challenge to see the brightness in life, particularly as we dull our senses in order to take care of ourselves. Each day as I walk my sweet Ellie Mae around our new neighborhood, my mind wanders from things that weigh me down to being drawn to the deep greens of the enormous Douglas Firs overhead, the bright red of the autumn turning Maples, and near the end of my path, the Roses of all shades that I pause beside to take in the fragrance...every single time. Color is liberation.

Paths

As we navigate all that is involved in moving from a town I’ve lived in since 1968, we are carving so many new paths, avoiding some, seeing the brilliance in others, managing emotions (and things!) throughout.

The Serpent

 Throughout our beautiful and complicated world, the Serpent holds multiple meanings, many of them positive. A serpent represents rebirth, transformation, healing, wisdom, and the creative life force. We can see ourselves in the serpent. Time and time again we shed our skin and are born anew, we have wisdom far beyond what we can possibly understand, and creativity, well, Serpent, you get me and I get you.
