today

Awareness is everything. Somewhere in the last couple of months, I got lost for a moment.

Yet going to a get together of the first job I had over 30 years ago propelled me back to now. Where did the time go? It brought back memories of my hopes and aspirations - I could, wanted to, do anything I set my mind to. But somewhere just floating along the currents of life, life just happened and here I am still wondering what am I going to do when I grow up.

Courage of your convictions is the hardest thing to maintain. So many choices - what we choose or let slip away defines the next moment.

Today my new moment reminder is to just make art - pursue my passion - mosaics and hopefully the rest will follow day by day.

“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” Mahatma Gandhi

A Now Moment

So here I am at the graduation waiting on line for the one bathroom available with so many people complaining about the long wait, griping about how ridiculous it was there was only one unisex bathroom - I chose to stay in the moment and took out my  iPod - a little girl was crying to her mom "I can't wait, Mommy!" - Her mother was trying to hush her -I surrendered to the moment and told the mother she could go ahead - she was so grateful - got to the bathroom enjoying a conversation allowing the now to take center stage - as I left I went to the gallery since the bathroom was in the art center - as I entered the art gallery, this is a photo of what caught my eye - the power of the present - what a wonderful now moment.
