It's been Many Moons since
my last journal. Writing class, Penland Auction and teacher work-days are
all over. Finished my first week with learners at Chowan
University. One week down and 15 more to go -- The Count Down Begins!
Baking this weekend helped
me clear my head and focus on "What I want to make today!" I
want to make color! Color, color and more color. The high point of
this semester is my teaching Oil
Painting Methods. Teaching this class at this moment in my life is a
blessing from Creator. God did
this! I know beyond a shadow of doubt
that God did it. I’m so broken and I've
missed oil painting. It's a jealous first lover that warms me in hue,
value and intensity.
I'm a Blues Warrior
traveling the original Blues Trails on Hwy 301 Business and Highways 97 and
258. I'm content and at peace with the circumstances of my life.
God's plan is a perfect plan and much better than what I could come up
with. I'm guilty of chasing a Waterfall of a man who talks God, has a
sharp tongue and lashes out "to rip you a new one." The Holy
Spirit delivered me. Looks can be deceiving.
So, it's just Jesus and me
on this two hour to and from journey each day. Patricia is my NDN art
sister, the first I've ever had. Patricia and I are cut from the same
remnant of humanity; were like fraternal twins. Libby Lynn is my love
child. I thank God for the blessings of
friendship and my connections to people and places. It brings me joy as I drive on Algonquin
homeland.
