Love is the place where another heart finds peace.

And the peace I found beside that heart

escapes from me as quiet breaths of calm.

If those gentle breaths could reach

the distant mountain peaks,

they would whisper softly—

nothing but songs of love.

'Till Death We Do Art
There would be nothing divine in this world without art. Nature may surpass the divine to all intents and purposes, but like everything it absorbs and is absorbed by, it remains here, stuck on the surface of this world, ever-present, physically bound to the universe.

Bead stories 2.
It was 1996, and we, my wife Jme and I , Wildthingsbeads, were going to the Czech Republic to find beads, bead sources, factories and antique shops in the bead town, Jablonec nad Nisou. A coetomer who owned a bead shop in Washington gave us some prized lampwork beads that she owned, stating they were rare, vintage, very old, and that we should be on the look out for them. However, she said we probably wouldn’t find any, or at least not in a large enough quantity to resell in a meaningful way. She asked that we not lose her beads and give them back to her when we returned. So we left for Europe with a fairly large stash of sample beads which we needed to keep an eye out for. It was exciting. We were on the hunt. Jme had strung a temporary necklace of all her own beads that she wanted to find, not a real necklace, but a sample string of beads that she wore like a necklace for ease of carrying . Every bead factory we went to admired her “necklace” and probably thought she had no experience in assembling jewelry, because they didn’t match in shape, style or color. But then she explained, and they all understood and thought she was clever. Because language was a barrier, so by showing the factory sales person the samples we were able to find what we wanted to make.

Loud laughter leaks from the lunchroom… door sitting slightly ajar. Surely today will be different. As they say, “Today is the start of the rest of my life!”

Arms
I hold myself at an arms length from emotion until they, like furious waves, crush me taking me under their tide and holding me down.
