So, digging myself out of an artist’s “block” is a full time job. I seem to be doing that more often than doing the actual art. I find, it helps to get to simple objects and a format and material I know. At least, it takes away a lot of decision-making… The simpler – the […]
I have a dream…
I store it all. And then, there’ll come a time when I sit down on my little island and write my book. The words will come to me and lay themselves down into lives, emotions, characters, destinies and stories. And spells. I’ll weave my magic carpet with secret symbols, and hidden messages, with rivers and mountains […]
Seagull
Today, I was looking at the seagull, who lives on top of the chimney 4 metres outside my window, and seeing it for the first time. It lives on it’s own. There is no room for another one on that perch. It was sleeping with it’s beak on it’s back, sitting so that a light […]

Billy Collins on TED
Another brilliant TED talk from a poet Billy Collins. The last poem which he read himself was a glimpse into what I, as well as almost every parent, do to my children. Laughable and so damnable, but how to help it?.. Great poetry and great animation! http://video.ted.com/assets/player/swf/EmbedPlayer.swf There is a website with more animated poems […]

Mirror on The Wall
This morning, after dropping girls off at school, I caught this song on the radio, which hit me like no other song did for a while. This is totally powerful.
