- I am a contemplative artist, combining traditional mediums and digital technology to create unique images. I have two blogs: A Magic Mom and Her Mandalas, dedicated primarily to the art form of the mandala, and The Sacred Alter, which focuses on what I can only describe as "art birthed from the soul." I hope you will enjoy visiting both.

self-blessing
hmmmmm
perhaps that is a way to reteach of ones loveliness
"reteach a thing its loveliness" was a quote i found and put on the very first vision board i ever made. it resonated with me, although at the time i had no idea where it came from. then one day, i came across the kinnell poem and said, "aha!" the fact that it talked about a sow was a bit of a bonus, as pigs are among my most favorite animals.
it's a great line
i haven't had much to do with pigs, and it kind of strikes me as funny to put pigs together with it
i guess if a pig can be lovely, there's hope for all of us :)
have you ever read "charlotte's web?" i had a crush on wilbur. :)
