Artists Across Places And Time

This poem is a re-post from 2/15/2010 with one changethe word artists instead of poets is in this version.

As is true of all our blogs, people visit from many places.  Some are especially good at photography, others are painters.  Some like to watch birds and some are more drawn to flowers.  Many different kinds of writers–poetry, fiction, memoirs, inspirational essays, science essays, writing of software, teaching, caregiving, editing the work of others, and the list goes on! 

So in the Comments, please feel free to add a note about your blog and/or a favorite artist.

My Soul … As A Weaned Child Psalm 131

Today is the 8th anniversary of my mother’s passing.  I am full of memories, from all the years we had together on this blessed earth.  We shall meet again.  Love endures.

PSALM 131: 1-2 (KJV)

Lord, my heart is not haughty,

nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I

exercise myself in great matters,

or in things too high for me.

Surely I have behaved and quieted

myself, as a child that is weaned of

his mother: my soul is even as a

weaned child.

Haiku Registry – The Haiku Foundation

Billie Wilson, the Secretary of The Haiku Foundation, posted my page for the Haiku Registry.  She made it look so nice.  Thanks to Jim Kacian too for encouragement.

Here’s the link, if you’d like to view it.

Winter Reading

Winter is here and I am reading more than writing these days.  The winter poetry journals are arriving, and I have new books by my side as well.  One is Desire To Inspire by Christine Mason Miller in California.  I am enjoying it very much.  www.christinemasonmiller.com

The Haiku Foundation, founded by Jim Kacian, has a registry of poets worldwide.  This weekend I began reading it, from the beginning. There are short biographies of poets, along with some of their haiku.  This will be a good winter project and a great education.  www.thehaikufoundation.org
