a vast emptiness...

photos from my Joshua Tree trip this past weekend...a very special place filled with mystery and much beauty!!

Our task must be to free ourselves... by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.

 progressing on my commission...the sand isn't as hard as i was expecting! that's good news!! so far i'm very pleased with how everything is going. but now i'm getting ready to go on a short vacation with my amazing girlfriends to joshua tree, so i may not get a whole lot more completed till next week.

 i am making some progress on my commission, but in my sciatic condition, sitting and drawing seems to be slower than the line at a DMV!! altho i am extremely grateful because even a week ago i couldn't even walk...so i am recovering, just not as fast as i would like!

my youngest daughter and i traded services...she made this "gif" of obama for me and i made her pasta. she finished way before me!!
