best wishes for the new year

Posted in Inspiration, tagged , , , , , on December 31, 2016| 5 Comments »

Happy New Year! No doubt it will be an interesting one.

Best wishes for peace and prosperity and an awareness of the beauty in the world around us.

Strength and courage will be necessary I suspect. As for New Year goals …

… I’ve made none, not really, except perhaps a commitment to continue to pause and to pause without expectation. These photos I took while pausing inside Trinity Church.

It has been my pleasure to photograph there many times over the years.

Each time there is always something new to see in the tower, on the walls, in the windows and even on the doors.

We’ll see what 2017 holds. 🙂

there is no deeper meaning

I simply needed to move. To get up. To get unstuck. And so I rose and walked over to the flower vases. They sit upon one of the small tables in the kitchen. I am a very lucky person … they are currently full of flowers.

I selected a stem and tugged free a few petals, arranged them on a plate, in no particular order except for the order they formed upon falling. More flowers I picked …

With the motion eventually came a bit of creative release. And joy at the beauty I have before me.

I am a very lucky person. 🙂

in an age of uncertainty, hope versus optimism

Posted in Inspiration, tagged , , , , , on December 26, 2016| 3 Comments »

In the words of Rebecca Solnit, “It’s very important to say that hope is not optimism. Optimism is a sense that everything’s going to be fine no matter what we do. Hope is something completely different. The kind of activist hope I believe in is that, although we don’t know what will happen, that uncertainty still means there’s grounds for intervening even without being sure of the outcome.”

An excerpt from a very thought provoking piece that is well worth a read: https://blog.longreads.com/2016/12/22/we-have-to-resist-rebecca-solnit/#

orange simplicity … with sprinkles

Posted in Inspiration, Kitchen Inspirations, tagged , , , , , , , , on December 12, 2016| 2 Comments »

If you follow my blog you may know that there is a young baker whom I’ve challenged (quite by accident) to produce expressions of culinary simplicity. Her first expression involved dark chocolate and cinnamon. The second was a shortbread cookie … with a center of soft rose-colored guava paste. The third expression was probably the most on point  … a macaroon with just four ingredients, like a little sweet cloud with a crust. And for my birthday out of nowhere appears a bag of sweet morsels, still simple, just colored orange ’cause that’s a favorite color I mentioned one day, and just a few sprinkles to brighten the day. I’m a rather lucky person, I have to say. 🙂
