Sharing Light

crossing the threshold from winter to spring

they honored the moment by sitting.... 

heart to heart

forehead to forehead

in a silent sharing of energy

Equinox blessings to you! 

(Dragons have my attention these days)

Lovely Equinox to one and All ~

 

the ink drawing from the previous post

inspired this watercolor

in honor of Spring

on this first day of spring

half way between the shortest day of the year

and the longest day of the year

i woke to fresh snow!

(yes this is home sweet home)

one of my favorite spring

and summer 

breakfasts:

Fairy Food

1 serving:

1 cup homemade almond milk
honey or agave to taste
1T + 1t chia seeds
1T. dried fruit - cherries or whatever you like
1T. dry coconut
sprinkle of spice, your choice: cinnamon, ginger, cardamon, vanilla

place in jar with lid and shake

a few minutes later shake well again

place in refrigerator over night

(if you don't shake it well, you will get lumps of gooey chia

seeds. Fairies would never eat that!)

enjoy

Nearing Spring Equinox

I came across a photo someone took of me

at Hearst Castle

this is such a fun dress to wear

usually i make up the characters in my art

not even looking at photos

it was so much easier drawing from this photo

 Sweet Week to you!

Spring Equinox is nearing

Spring

Winter into Spring

her friends say

I went to the wilderness (NW Montana) for the last day of winter

the first day of Spring

here we do not have green grass and flowers yet

but the snow melts daily

and 

then snows  again

then rains again

a slow awakening

but we do see signs of life waking up from a long winter nap

and 

the days are longer

equal to the nights

~

i stayed in a tiny 

beautiful log cabin

made by a friend and many of his friends

no running water

no electricity

but it does have a wonderful wood stove

this is my sketch of it

it turned out to be a silent retreat

simply because i did not see anybody

i felt as though time slowed down

with no electricity

my days were full of skiing along the river

walking in Glacier National Park

drawing and painting

yoga 

simple eating

and of course

tending the fire

it was a beautiful way to say farewell to Winter

and a warm hello to Spring

~

wishing each of you a lovely Spring

warmly,
Tammie

Within, a Universe

 

like a faceted crystal is my spirit

made of friends from many realms

we blend and flavor our

thoughts

words and deeds

together we are

summer autumn winter

and yes

spring

we breathe bloom

and flower

laugh cry and share

when you meet me

you greet 
our universe

~

 

I was so surprised how spring like this piece came out, simply because I have been submersed in winter's spirit for so many months. 

Nice to feel in sync with the season.

I sat down to draw the other night, simply wanted to draw a girls face, something familiar, nothing new to learn, something I could be a little mindless with. 

Then all these faces showed up one by one. 

They felt as though they were aspects of the central person. 

Then the poem came.
