After a long bout of inactivity, I have finally broke through a low period in my life and can feel the creative child whirling, once again, with excitement of discovery and wonder at the art of making things.<br />

<i>Pine AZ 2015</i></div>
<br />
All it took was a walk in the tall pine trees in Pine, AZ and allowing the silence to surround me. I closed my eyes, breathed in deep the smell of the earth and listened to the still, small voice of my soul tell me of my deep desires. I am a gypsy soul, a wild child of nature who weaves the influences of nature in her art and lives to make things with twigs, shells and sea glass. My inner voice has been whispering to me my entire life and I couldn't hear it over the obligations and duties I was taught by well meaning adults and society. I am I child of wide-eyed wonder who gets excited by the way the light falls on a leaf or the way the clouds reflect the setting sun or by the sound of a drop of rain hitting a tile roof. These are the things that set my soul on fire.<br />

Dream collage by Virginia Robert</div>
<br />
I have decided to give myself a 30 day creative challenge. For the next thirty days, I am going to make art every day. At first, I thought I would complete a project a day but given my full-time job I decided to complete projects as I go but create art every day and document it on my blog and Instagram, Pinterest and Tumbler. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Day 1:</b> Today, I am creating an <b>idea jar</b> out of a mason jar which I am going to decorate and fill with strips of paper, each with one of my many hundreds of thousands of ideas that I have written in my journals over the years. This way, I can pull out one idea and work on that one instead of being overwhelmed by ideas. I am doing baby steps to begin this journey, otherwise, I tend to get overwhelmed and give up. I have done that way too much in my life. Every night I hear the voice<br />
of my soul tell me to begin your soul's journey now. So now it is!<br />
<br />
Anything creative goes with this challenge. Poetry, drawing, journaling, doodles, crafts, etc.<br />
<br />
If anyone wants to join me and post on your own blogs, come along with me. It's going to be fun. Eventually, I may even start a private Facebook group to continue the creative challenge, but I am getting ahead of myself. Baby steps!<br />
<br />
I will post my updates on my projects each day on my blog.<br />
<br />
I'm excited and look forward to this journey that is long overdue.<br />

<b>Waiting For Rain</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hear the silence of the desert,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
dry winds blow me to dust</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
time and silence,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I strain to hear my own voice</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am desert landscape</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
seeking refuge </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from an unforgiving sun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anonymity among the cactus,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mirage of heat rising</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at the edge of my vision.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sweat, dried like salt crust,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
hard cracked skin,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Still as stone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wait for rain</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
quench my eternal thirst.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wrap myself </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in silence.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My whole life,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a whispered voice,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a message</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
grows so faint.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wait for rain,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for life giving moisture,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
fill my soul.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
on writing </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
what I will say </div>

and loved my whole life.</div>

try to remain</div>

composed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as I explain that</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
even though my father</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
lived his life </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in the guise</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of an</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ordinary man,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
he was really</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a quiet hero; </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my hero</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and my life</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is richer for having </div>

him in it.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

and face</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
everyone and tell them</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am broken wide open by grief</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but I am honoring</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my father's life</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
by living mine</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tomorrow,</div>

I will begin the healing process </div>

his journey.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>As her hands traced her body,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>gathering her soul through her skin,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>she held the glowing sphere</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>up to the sky, drew in all her breath</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>and released the stagnant air held</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>within her lungs.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>She emptied everything inside</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>until she was an empty shell.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Holding her soul in her outstretched palms,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

And the earth wept as rain upon the land,</div>

life sprang from the soil and the sun shone upon her soul.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She knew she was perfect just as she was. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
An amazing creature of light. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She knew she was loved eternally</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<br />
Sunday morning. I'm sitting outside with my second cup of coffee and enjoying a rare morning. <br />
<br />
It is a beautiful, cool, spring day and I have off from work. This combination is quite rare, indeed!<br />
<br />
Recent rains pushed through the state, leaving cooler air in it's wake. It will warm back up quickly this week, so I put aside my grand "to-do" list for sitting on my porch and enjoying this splendid morning. <br />
<br />
I observe a pair of Western Tanagers flitting about in the mesquite tree that shelters my porch and delights me every time I look outside. The pair of birds don't seem bothered by my presence but continue to move about the branches feeding on small insects. The Tanager is a beautiful, bright yellow bird with a patch of orange on top of it's head, black wings and tail. It is migratory, living in the high country most of the year.<br />
<br />
I always consider it a privilege to observe wildlife outside in nature. It feels as if I'm being given a gift from the divine universe, a reminder that there is beauty and amazement all around us if we are willing to be still and open to truly "see".<br />
<br />
The bees cover the branches of the mesquite, collecting pollen from it's fuzzy, pale yellow flowers. <br />
I can see hummingbirds hovering high above the pine trees across the courtyard. There is so much activity this time of year. Everything is blooming. It is a time of growth and renewal.<br />
The cool breeze mixes with the tones of my wind chimes as I sit here writing in my journal.<br />
<br />
I spend so much of my life inside man-made structures that it is nice to be outside. It is a reminder to myself that I must make time to hike in the woods, to look up at the night sky, to walk upon the earth and observe the palpable silence of nature undisturbed by man. The silence of nature has a presence that demands, quietly, that we pay attention.<br />

I am grateful for this morning's gifts. It is truly a beautiful day!Virginia Roberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05218422913028849395noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036477760633083717.post-59639948975940856532015-05-15T09:34:00.002-07:002015-05-15T10:06:14.456-07:00This one's for you, dad.I wanted my first post on my new blog to be dedicated to my father, who passed away on May, 5, 2015, after a two year battle with cancer.<br />
<br />
He was a great role model and my hero.<br />

<i>Excerpt from my journal 5/4/15:</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Today, I shall be sad. Stepping out of time, watching my father's labored breathing, the rattling sounds coming from his chest. The signs are there of his inevitable passing from his physical body.<br />
My father was present for my birth into this world, it is only right that I be here for this. How do I say goodbye to someone I've known and loved my whole life? I've only known my life with him in it.<br />
<br />
Today, I shall be brave, for my mom, for my family. Help them do what needs to be done. I am wrapped in grief. It drowns every cell in my body with it's keening. I love my dad and will miss him more than words can express.<br />
<br />
Godspeed, dad!<br />
