See how nature~~trees, flowers, grass..grow in silence
see the stars, the moon, and the sun how they move in silence
we need silence …
to touch souls.
~Mother Teresa
Dear hearts forgive me for I have been remiss in writing. I hope all is good in your worlds. Not much to say tonight. I am mulling over things…we have some things going on in my family. Serious life and death things.
Life is so precious…this life as we know it. I feel like this painting…sort of sparse and bare like the trees in it. Reaching for the light though…trying to understand…the mystery of it all.
I have been silent..walking around within my own heart…does that make sense? All of you coming here have touched this gypsy heart of mine..you’ve made me smile at times..and other times I found myself nodding my head in agreement. I am sorry I haven’t been by to read your words..I just felt “I needed to move in silence” for a while. I wish I could say I have been painting..I have not. :O
I will though….I will paint and paint and paint…and I will live and laugh….
My message to you tonight is one of love and light, NOT sadness….don’t hesitate…seize the moment…in love, life, and laughter!
I’ll be around to see all of you soon! In the meantime, I hold up my glass of wine to toast all of you..
for you have all touched my soul!
So here’s to you…Wishing you love, light, and laughter!

Ps A butterfly came by today
and
she whispered
“all will be okay”
(butterfly wisdom..eh?)
UP DATE: (Monday May 12) GOOD NEWS!! All is fine with my sister!! What an emotional roller coaster! I am so relieved …she was/is my first best friend in this life time! Thank all of you for the good thoughts, prayers, and candles of light!
Now I can get back to my crazy gypsy-heart self. hee, hee
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Evening Dearest Gypsy-Heart~
Beautiful piece!
I totally honor and respect your need to move in silence. I’m very much the same way, so I understand.
It’s funny, because yours is the second post I’ve read this week, that has shared the words of Mother Theresa. Isn’t she wonderful?
And I so indentify with her words here.
Whenever I’ve taken a four-day retreat, it has always amazed me, that even though I was in complete silence…the conversations that went on within my soul…were very audible!
Thank you so much for sharing your message, to…seize the moment…in love, life, and laughter!
Happy Mother’s Day to you…and I wish you a day filled with beautiful butterflies!
Thank you Ron, dear heart! You always make my heart warm!
… AND YOU HAVE TOUCHED OUR SOULS, DEAR! :-)
Lots and lots of cyberhugs to You! – and yes, life is precious and that can be very scary at times. Let’s just live it, eh?
Anni dear~ I hope I have touched souls in a good way! :)
Yes we need to just live it, it is so precious and can be scary…but oh how sweet!!
Hugs back to you!
While you are mulling and family stuff is going on… we’ll do that thing we do for you and yours.
RPS
Preacherman I thank you and yours for the positive things you did..the energies worked. :)
When you are ready to wander back we will be here to feed you, hug you and wash your feet. Happy Mothers day!
Ahh…Heather you touched my heart and soul! Thank you!
Yes, Happy Mothers Day Gypsy!
Personally, I need my solitude. It is clearly not something that warrants an apology.
Thank you Glenn I need mine too..thus, the hermit life. :)
omg happy mothers day and hope things are alright there!
Thank you kaylee. All is pretty good. I hope the same for you. I will by to visit you in a bit to catch up. I do hope you are feeling much better now!
…& paint & paint & paint whilst moving in silence: Oh – do! (instantly) ys, René
Yes! I do believe you do my painting friend! :)
butterflys are pretty wise
they figured out how to ride the skies
and their colors inspire and hypnotize
yes, butterflys are plenty wise…
I love it Daz thank you for sharing it..what a sweet little gift to find! :)
ohhhh…What a Beautiful piece!
Much Mothers Days Love to you *smile*
Thank you for your kind words Rosa!
We all need the silence as much as we need the music and laughter. Sending you lots of cyber hugs and energy, dear!
So true fox..so true!! Thank you for the hugs and energy and I am returning the same to you! :)
The landscape is surrealistic. I find it looks a bit desolate with a burned quality. Very emotional. Somewhat disturbing to me. It is an accomplishment as an artist to move others with your work. You have.
Thank you Sandra you I value your words of encouragement and insight!
My heart is most happy if in some way, my work moves someone. :)
Thank you. :)
Ahh…’tis I that thanks you C. :)
A nice dream piece. I’ve been looking at my expenditures and think you need to marry a few more – lots and lots of life and/or divorce insurance then we can talk about getting together. I know you have been wanting to support me and Mango in a better style. I have been worried the stress of you worrying about our sad condition has been giving you dreams about trees (for Mango, of course).
Bill~ Thank you.
No more divorces…three times was a charm for me…sorry. :) Now I may think about sharing custody of Mango with you. hee, hee.
“Dear hearts forgive me for I have been remiss in writing.”
My dear, you don’t owe anyone an apology, not a one. Like a friend of mine pointed out on her blog last week, writing is not a “have to” but rather a “want to” experience.
If my mind isn’t flowing freely, than I am not in a writing state of mind (no relation to a New York state of mind).
So give yourself a break.
Thank you Glenn…you are so sweet…I am so happy that we met! :)
I’m so relieved your sister is ok. It’s so hard when someone we love is in danger or sick. What a relief!! I like your dreamscape painting though. Echo is the word I get from it…not sure why.
Thank you Rhea it was a scare…and all you can do is wait until the test results are done. :O I do so appreciate life..but such times make you appreciate it even more..especially those that walk it with you…eh?
Hmmm….Echo….I can see that too! :)
Yes, I think its necessary to move in silence once in a while.
I’m happy that you’re sister is now ok. :)
My sister is my good friend too and now that we are grown-ups, we would laugh at how we use to fight like cats n dogs before. lol.
I started to practice painting again :) thanks to you.
Hello Enya! Thank you….yes, those fights..hee, hee..we had a few too. We fought against the world together too though…we are survivors my little sister and me! :)
I am so happy to hear that you are painting again..I look forward to seeing your work! I am even happier if I played a small part in your returning to those brushes again!
GYPSY…. my dear friend, I am so pleased your sister is better…
I felt your emotions in this piece. The funny thing is, with all the craziness around, you still managed to shine. I felt sadness, but never despair. I felt woe, yet there was something somewhere which let me know you will be alright… there is a strength in your soul which radiates into our souls…
You are an amazing one. You truly are… I hope you know this…
Enreal I think you may be right..we knew each other in a time past!
I thank you for your sweet and comforting words…and I say the same to you dear heart!!
Gypsy, I am so happy that all turned out well for you and your family and your sister. Life can be such a roller coaster sometimes; it is often in these valleys that we learn to appreciate life to its fullest. Thank you for sharing of yourself to genty remind us that we all are human.
Peace, Light and Love, CordieB.
Thank you CordieB and I SO agree…what a wonderful ride though! :)
Such reminders we all need from time to time…eh?
Peace, light, and love to you too!
I love the words and imagery and title of this post, and of course, the outcome. All wonderful, peaceful, joyful.
Thank you for your kind and inspiring words yb!! I had hoped my words would not be a “downer”..and thank goodness the outcome was a happy one!
Gypsy-Heart,
Big ((((((((hugs))))))))). I’m so glad your sister is okay and so sorry for the stress you’ve been under. And yes, sometimes the silence is what we need the most.
Thank you April dear heart…my heart felt those big hugs and I am sending you the same. :)
