Gathering snipets
So fellow travelers, I have downloaded the five hundred plus photos from our west coast adventure. I “should” be completing the blog series from my journal notes. Instead I find myself weaving a different thread of writing this morning. And I am ok with this. A while ago I discovered a secret. The choice to […]

Window Shrines of peace and love
So fellow travelers, one of my favorite photo “threads” running through the Bedlam Creative Group page is the window sill galleries. Jon Katz started the series a while back, honestly I don’t remember when but they struck an immediate chord. Soon all sorts of wonderful gallery photos began showing up. There is something spiritual about […]

City in the Mist

It’s rooted in past experiences ( as all anxiety is) which I wrote about last year ( https://dhrahalski86.com/2013/09/08/all-good-things-vol-1/ ) The poem appeared out […]

One from the Heart
So fellow travelers, about a year ago author Jon Katz started the Bedlam Farm Creative group on Facebook. Say what you want about social media, this group, after a period of sorting out some housekeeping details, defied all the pervasive negatives and grew into a creative force beyond anyone’s (including our leader’s) expectations. The support […]

Every little thing
So fellow travelers, if one could post background music for an entry, this one would have the song from Disney’s Little Mermaid that goes “Don’t’ worry ’bout a thing, cause every little things gonna be alright…” This is my favorite picture from our daughter’s wedding. Puzzled? Mmmm I understand. No bride and groom, no artsy […]
