may the stars that gave ancient bearings be seen, still be understood

Me imperturbe, standing at ease in nature
master of all or mistress of all,
aplomb in the midst of irrational things, imbued as they,  passive, receptive, silent as they,
finding my occupation, poverty, notoriety, foibles, crimes, less important than I thought,
to confront night, storms, ridicule, accidents, rebuffs as the trees and animals do.
Walt Whitman

new songs

My wish for you is that you continue.
Continue to be who and how you are,
to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness,
continue to allow humour to lighten the burden of your tender heart.
Maya Angelou

and also stronger

I've taken my wool wife apart
and am stumped about how to put her back together
so as to include her erotic inner self.

hope floats

today:  make a star shape from a square

which orientation?

 

Making myself be loved.
This is the purpose of my work.

Louise Bourgeois

environment, women's issues, art and Canada

Reading about Joyce Wieland.
For her, the environment, women's issues, art, and Canada are all linked.

In 1971 she had an exhibition entitled True Patriot Love at the National Gallery of Canada.
