My patch of Earth is hard and soft,
the wavy fragrant blades
a forgiving green ocean
inviting me to spill my dreams.
My patch of Earth is hard and soft
like my heart
when it was young
plump, fertile, and teeming with activity,
yet time became my teammate
And together we pushed its air up
and its life deep.
My patch of Earth is hard and soft.
It pines patiently for aeration
roots for nutrients
churns for love
advocates for attention,
a tender shoot
alive
and infinite in years.
My patch of Earth is hard and soft.
It begs to cultivate something,
and I lie on it
flat out
fertilizing
nurturing
sun shining on my face.

- I adore the period in our cultural and creative history cultivated between the 1880s and the 1950s, particularly the Aesthetic movement, Arts and Crafts movement, Art Nouveau movement, and early Art Deco movement. I have a deep appreciation for the arts, design styles, architecture, fashion, music and all creative modalities that emerged within this magical segment in time. I love to write, dance, paint, and embrace the creative process in general. This blog is my attempt at merging my chosen forms of self expression with the beauty of the present moment, and the beauty of the past. All work is written or created by me unless cited as otherwise, and protected under copyright law. Bon voyage et bonne chance!
