All day

Posted on July 21, 2022 by keishua

It takes all day I think it’s the piney woods in me. I start thinking about it a few days before.  Imagining the side dishes. The spices. Even the weather. In my imagination, it’s about 10 degrees cooler, but hey the ac is a good bridge to reality.  The day comes and I soak the… Continue reading

i like

Posted on July 19, 2022 by keishua

i like when i get up early enough to see the light become dappled and dancing on the left wall by the bookcases. i like when i get early enough to walk around for 10 or 15 minutes without dripping in sweat. i like when i hear the cicadas close by but not too close.… Continue reading

collage care

Posted on July 7, 2022 by keishua

this week, I’ve been very inspired by Laurie Kanye’s book, collage care. I ordered it last year or early this year and am just now taking it off the shelf. I was not sure what to expect from the book as I do not consider myself a collagist but rather a glue booker but maybe… Continue reading

Nourish your nervous system and dead flowers

Posted on June 30, 2022 by keishua

I love what my son calls dead flowers aka cut flowers. I realize this week that I’ve slowly been collecting them from every place I go. Like a touchstone. A prayer of possibilities. Flowers are tricky because of the matrix of industrial flowers and all that. I am not here to preach because the world… Continue reading

The daily flower

Posted on June 23, 2022 by keishua

It’s always a pleasure to remix older bouquets. I think we’ve had these for close to a month. I just trimmed them and put them in a new container. The garden flowers are coming in but they seem so fragile -cosmos and roses. Or maybe I’m being precious because they are mine in a way… Continue reading

Bloom

Posted on June 10, 2022 by keishua

More flowers And poems And little altars Grief And joy Under the sugar gums Feels like a landing A clearing Prayer Asking—- What will bloom from Here

Trees I have loved

Sometimes it’s a memory that puts you back in the frame of mind to receive The goodness and give thanks that it has found you again. Drawing imaginary worlds from real Hearts is beautiful Prayer.

It’s been what it has been

Posted on May 27, 2022 by keishua

I’ve been watching the sky, again. Picking slugs off greens Trying and failing to not judge People’s opinions, actions, dogs or lack there of. This morning I picked a line of carefully chewed bark off the steps… Gifts from the toddler Almost Caught in the rain But the wind reminded me of home And my… Continue reading

Making and loving

Posted on May 19, 2022 by keishua

So I have been playing around. With no expectation or goal. Just joy. And it works for me. I think no matter what I want my work to feel joyful like visual lemonade to my soul. Yes there are parts that may read like flavored cod live oil (my version of a bad drink) but… Continue reading

what feels good

Posted on May 6, 2022May 6, 2022 by keishua

Sometimes for me life says —to get off the internets make a life worth living no matter what. You owe that to humanity. Be creative with your energy and your attention. Somehow in this confusion Find a way to feel worthy to find what feels good. And if possible share it with someone. I like… Continue reading
