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!

Crescent

The crescent moon
Doth speak to me
Shares its glow so eloquently
Filters down through branches and leaves
Ethereal lace born of the trees.

Darkest night, so tenderly
You beckon me to dance with thee
Twinkling stars adorn my fingers
With the only diamonds I pray to linger.

My lover is the night, you see
Arriving sweet and stealthily
Sneaking up as twilight opens
A world of magic, divine and holy.

The ever delightful and amazingly talented Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor. Wow! Show me a pair today who can cut a rug like this and I'll eat my hat!

Robin Williams 1951-2014

Thank you Robin Williams, for making this world a brighter place, for sharing your immeasurable gifts.   Thank you for all the lessons you offered us; lessons of compassion, kindness, love and laughter!  Thank you for encouraging us to feel, and to think outside the box.  You left our world too soon, and I will never forget you. "Fly and be free!!"

Grey Area



When forming an opinion, it is often wise to consider the following:  rarely, if ever, does one have all the facts, and rarely, if ever, is one privy to the entire account.
