Friends with Glory
I am delighted by my Pleasure Embellishment project.
I wrote about it last week.
My family is in on the challenge.
We had a date with our girl on Friday to see “Secret Garden” at the Mac-Hayden Theater over in Chatham, NY. First we had dinner at our friends Max and Linda’s restaurant,www.local111.com, in Philmont where I saw this fab steeple. I could spend my life photographing, doodling swirls and drawing weathervanes and steepletops.
Then, my garden walk on Saturday morning before I had my tea and Rumi poem of the day- yeow. Am I ever glad I got out there.
Look fish, you are already in the ocean.
Just swimming there makes you friends with glory.
by Rumi
What embellished your day?
Love, S

Oh Dear Andrea! Thank you for stopping in! I use a great collection of Rumi edited by Coleman Barks titled “A Year With Rumi”. Isn’t that a fantastic line? I bet we could do a little collage each on that line. What do you say to an illustration playdate? I’d love to play with you! Love, S

Rumi is da Boss. And Hafiz is da Second Boss. You know Hafiz, right? We are in that big big ocean and you are a wave and I am a wave and…the waves are gone…we are just water, everywhere.

Kath! I am about to put out a tiny collage challenge for that Rumi phrase. Andrea from Canada/ABC Creativity wants to play. Maybe you will be in? I will post about it later. Gotta stir the apricot jam that is on the stove.
Love and hugs and maybe I will see you in person SOON! Love, S
