“True happiness is to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants nothing. The greatest blessings of mankind are within us and within our reach. A wise man is content with his lot, whatever it may be, without wishing for what he has not.” ―
To all that sent good issues to my brother, I thank you so much. All the good wishes and prayers worked. I am happy to report that he is doing much better.
Here is my latest project. I keep trying different materials and projects, to eventually find my voice. Perhaps I don’t have one specific voice.
This vase looks great on a window with the sun hitting it from behind. I took the pictures at night, so I added a light to achieve the same effect.
“Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8 color boxes, but what you’re really looking for are the 64 color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64 color box, though I’ve got a few missing. It’s okay though, because I’ve got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8 color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation. So when I meet someone who’s an 8 color type…I’m like, hey girl, Magenta! and she’s like, oh, you mean purple! and she goes off on her purple thing, and I’m like, no I want Magenta!” ―

YES, I can read your blog from my READER now. Yahoo! I was grateful to see your stained glass vase. Our world is in such chaos right now, and Spring is coming. When I saw your vase it made me think of Sister Theresa known as the “Little Flower.” Soon Spring is here and the flowers will be blooming. Also, your vase is just in time for Easter. It’s beautiful, a spiritual vase. ❤
