The desire to BE inspired by a theme trumps my unfortunate inclination to BEcome overwhelmed by it.
At least this is what I tell myself…
Having the freedom to DO whatever I want with “Only connect”
is brilliant.
It sent me on a delicious errand exploring quotes, wandering
down sideroads that beckoned, and letting the words others have spoken or
written settle in round me, like besties at the campfire.
I love the challenge sewn inside Photo
Art Friday. How it encourages me to stretch just a little BEyond my reach.
It used to BE that I got brain cramps with the digital
fiddling piece, yet over Time that has shifted.
Imperceptibly.
Like when I had
learned to read enough to just keep reading…
Remember that?!
Therein lies connection. From TRYing to DO to BEing
in the flow of a thing.
For my daily
Gratitude posts I have an entire process of digital fiddling that is like
the peanut butter and jelly part of making the sandwich.
The PB&J just dance there Now.
Like breathing.
DELICIOUS.
Now, without further aDO, the past week of my poeming + digital fiddling from I Love You, Currie...

Absolutely beautiful - thoughts and images! I particularly like the gift of quiet....You've done a great job with these.

BEautifully written, processed and presented, Currie!
I have missed your sense of humour & wisdom ...
Therein lies connection. From TRYing to Do to Being in the flow of a thing - I love that Currie, and love your quotes and fiddling, wonderful!
Incredible images and thoughts Currie. So true...that magically moment when we go from 'trying' to 'doing' with sufficient success that we can embrace it and enjoy it fully while still continuing to develop our skills.
Such a cornucopia of creativity and beauty... thoughtful and thought provoking...and absolutely wonderful! Thank you for sharing - this is a post to return to and contemplate...!
your talent flows and your words too! Love your image for connect..

Wow, these are powerful quotes. Great collection for connections.
Wow you did a great job with your "fiddling" as you call it. These are really nice.
The gift of Quiet and The Gift of Prayer were my favorites. You are really becoming quite adept at these challenges.
o dear, I don´t even know where to begin. So I better not. You are very connected. :)
Very interesting indeed! I find the gift of respect and the gift of unconditionality extremely worthwhile.
You have been producing so many beautiful pieces. I love your backgrounds witht he beautiful color combinations and textures. There is a beautiful flow in your work.
These are wonderful, Currie, both words and art! I'd love to get to the place where you ARE.
Lovely edits.
Love all the quotes, Currie. And the their presentation is wonderful, so creative and thoughtful.
Oh, Currie, you have quietly exploded into Being yourself ... and the exposure to yourself of who you really are is a gift to you and to all of us. I long for the peace you are finding and I admire your courage in seeking it out. This was a wonderfully revealing post ... thank you!

Yes, Precious compositions, I really like how you've been these beautiful textures, good job.
Nicely done! I very nearly forgot the prompt (I'm trying very hard to play along each week), then noticed I had a couple of pieces that would work.
It is wonderful to see the fun you are having creating these pieces. It is good for the soul. Valerie
Wonderful that you connect your stimulating thoughts with visually stimulating backgrounds. Super way to connect with others!

i love them all but find myself drawn to the sincerety image the most.

Wow, you did an amazing picture series! It is fantastic! - I also like your little prompt of TRYing to DO to BE ...
Additional I hopefully have some good news and possibly lots of new followers because I've been awarded a Liebster award this week and I have to nominate 5 blogs to pass it on to...and I've chosen you as one of my 5. You will see all of the details on my current post.
I hope you'll accept??!?!
And of course I became your follower too :)
Such beautiful thoughts, Currie...and you present them in a lovely, artistic way. Your "gift of respect" quote really resonated for me - that's always a hard one, isn't it? Thank you for sharing...by the way, I also love wandering down sideroads that beckon. :)
Thanks for the connection, nice to read your thoughts and yes I agree.
Have a lovely week of Being.
