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 […]

One

So fellow travelers,  sometimes one sign is all you need.   There is only one but it is beyond perfect faith now visible        

SOS

So fellow travelers, this came in response to a few SOS ( some direct, some implied)  I picked up this week.  The source of the orb image is a photo from fellow Creative Group member  Denise Gainey,  a gifted writer and musician.  You can find her wonderful blog The View From Here  right here : http://denisegainey.wordpress.com/ […]

Disillusioned

So fellow travelers,  life can change in an instant. One phone call can send us plummeting from a high to low point,  a conversation can shatter our hearts. At times like this I am mindful of the teaching I strive to live by: it’s not the events but how we react to them that determines […]

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 […]

Crossroads of the heart

So fellow travelers,  life’s passage has brought me to a bittersweet moment, as our daughter and son-in-law set out for their new life across the country.  This is a good beginning, one they have diligently saved for and worked hard to reach.  They are excited to be setting out on a trip of a lifetime, […]

Unspoken

So fellow travelers,  recently in both my online and “inlife” communities people have shared some deep feelings driven by major events beyond their control.  The responses of support have been a moving reminder we are not alone; if we reach out there are many hands are extended to help.  I strive always in my life […]

The Lay of the Land Part II: What lies beyond

So blessed readers (and blessed you will be indeed should you opt to explore the link I will post here shortly) having a few days off to catch up on projects, both domestic and creative is shaking many words and images from the rafters of my artistic attic.  Several posts on the Bedlam Farm Creative […]

The Lay of the Land part I: What lies beneath

So blessed readers, there is no doubt this winter has been hard on much of the country.  Even the huge avalanche that cut off the city of Valdez Alaska last month was considered extraordinary in an area not easily impressed by snowfall or for that matter avalanches.  Ironically the Valdez avalanche was caused by the […]

The Eye of the Tiger

So blessed readers,  my topic is anger.  A recent post from a Creative Group member got me riled up. Without sharing personal details, I will simply say this writer recounts with sometimes brutal honesty of the struggles to rebuild a life out of addiction and self destruction. The amazing humor embedded in each post draws […]
