Cutandpast

Words, words, words. This is where I was all last week. My feisty guy came home yesterday and found me on the living room floor with scissors, computer and THE WORDS. He snapped this photo of me in mid-edit. I’m proud to say I am still in balance. I walk everyday, sometimes twice a day to keep my head clear and my body happy.

I think I am drinking a little too much coffee, but I still have to have some vices! I forgot about this photo. I took it in the Cincinnati airport while waiting for my flight back to CO. I noticed the sign and loved the quote, "Life happens over coffee, enjoy a YUMMY honey!" Hmmm….. I didn’t realize the expression on the woman’s face until I saw the image in my photo editing program. The line was VERY long, I was feeling much the same way that morning, because it was a mad and I mean MAD dash to the airport, nearly missing the plane, as the cab company forgot to pick me up!

Labyrinthtoni

My friend Toni and I went down to visit the a labyrinth that we created a couple of years ago. Toni was the architect of this Feisty project. It was actually created on city land Guerrilla Girl style. Shortly afterward we confessed to the town. I am happy to report we were not arrested and the labyrinth still stands. It was lovely to see the grass growing up through the rocks we placed and notice the paths worn down. It is somewhat hidden in the park, so you have to stumble upon it. It’s beautiful to see her dream come true.

Back to clients this week, with words scattered in-between….

  1. Hi Shayla,
    Thanks so much for stopping by! The labyrinth was really a wonderful project. I know Toni feels blessed that her dream has been embraced by our community.
    I am heading over your way now for a much over due visit!

  2. I went to the labyrinth last night to honor my Mom who would have been 75 yesterday and to center myself after a week of swirling. It is such an incredible place – so modest and yet sacred. It was a beautiful evening, finally a taste of spring, with the sun setting in a full array of pinks, oranges and reds to the west casting a pink glow on the heart of Mt. Sopris to the south. The labyrinth was peaceful and yet so alive – the blackbirds were carrying on and the echo of children’s laughter floated across the meadow from the nearby mesa.
    As I walked across the meadow on the way home, I was filled with the words that life is short in so many ways, I’m in! And I knew exactly what that meant to all of the chapters of my life. I’m in.
    My heartfelt thanks to Toni, Sheri and the rest for their vision and courage. A birthday wish to my mom whose spirit carries on. A prayer of hope to a friend who is undergoing a medical procedure as I write. For me, the landscape continues to surprise me in its ability to offer that which we need most.
