journaling ...

"to move

to breathe

to fly

to float

to gain all while you give

to roam the roads of land remote

to travel

is to live'

~Hans Christian Andersen~

Even though it is snowing outside,

October and November's  art journaling pages have been filled with light houses,

 sandy beaches, sea shells,

sea glass, blue skies and mermaids ...

I'm still thinking of the wonderful time spent in Cape Cod and  those thoughts

are spilling out into my art journal.

"traveling is more than the seeing of sights;

it is a change that goes on,

deep and permanent

in the ideas of living"

~Miriam Beard~

beach walking/combing no matter what the weather

my journal is a spot to write down songs I've  practiced playing on my sweet Ukulele (oh how I love playing the Uke) … and a spot to write down "songs to learn"  which is ever growing 

"Let the version of yourself that you were, teach you.

Let the version of yourself that you are currently, comfort you.

Let the version that you are becoming, inspire you.

You are the version that you need 

and needed to be 

in every phase of your journey"

"You must understand the whole of life,

 not just the little part of it.

That is why you must read,

that is why you must look at the skies,

that is why you must sing and dance,

and write poems,

and suffer,

and understand.

For all that

is 

life"

 ~J. Krishnamurti~
