If I had to choose
a color
to describe
Bliss,
I believe it would be
the color of maple leaves
in the Autumn sunshine
dancing in the breeze.
They delight my senses
with their bright
and joyful display.
Until Spring…
when the color of Bliss
is again the color
of the maple leaves
even though that color has changed.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

I needed it too! I had it scheduled a from a few days ago and wondered if still appropriate as I was watching television last night, and thought – must stay positive – must move on – we – ourselves – have not changed 🙂 ❤

Exactly! We haven’t changed at all, and the true tragedy would be if we allowed these results to change us. We just have to be strong, I think.

Even though I’m living elsewhere; my eyes are always trained on the States. And I believe, yes, this is ‘the Time’ for us artist to really buckle down and do our art. To create. To express and communicate hope as well as meaningful productive steps forward now through our arts.

Interestingly, it is what I turned to while watching the election results….. At midnight – I chose to paint.

Hiya Jodi > Love that idea, especially as I’m a lover of winter. Everything about Autumn is about transition. Even the light is about change ans its easy to bliss out during this time. BTW I saw you on Carolina’s page so thought I’d say hello. Love your work 🙂
