Bittersweet Days

The moving finger writes; and having writ
Moves on; nor all your piety nor wit
Shall lure you back to cancel half a line
Nor all your tears wash out a word of it.
Omar Khayyam

bittersweet days since Ron, husband of one of my favorite altered artists JoAnna Pierotti (better known as Mossie of Moss Hill Studio) has been diagnosed with brain cancer and she is enduring so much as it is. not only did she lose her mother last year but she had breast cancer herself and is now hopefully all better. so this new bucket of cold water seems a little too much for one family to endure. i have thought of her all day since i found out, feel impotent to help since she lives in Sutter Creek quite a drive away from my area but not impossible. i will wait for her to contact us if she needs help. in the meantime, for all of you who know JoAnna, Creative Souls has set up a chip in account for voluntary donations for Ron's surgery since they are without medical insurance and the surgery is very costly.

my inner peace comes, ofcourse, from newfound artistic experiements. i am in the process of creating a fabric fat book and experimenting with more acrylic paintings, just playing for now, but really enjoying the results.
