Shedding Darkness

It is that time of year when the light in the sky shines a little bit longer each and everyday...
Shedding the darkness...darkness...
Looking back into the darkest moments of time
Understanding the now...the reason you have stepped
into this life with me...fully understood...probably
never...I do not know...
How can one know another if they do not even know themselves...
At times only music and art can express the moments...
Flowing like a river with many river rocks at this moment
Soon the river will flow faster and more fiercely the rocks
will turn to pebbles...the sky will stay brighter for longer..
the break will come and the shedding will be complete...
the darkness will become warm and brighter...each day...
step by step

Drawing till she Moves

I started a new series of drawings...
I will draw my daughter while she is sleeping ...
When she moves I will finish..
This is the first one

What I see changing...

In my life...36yrs...I have seen alot of things change

I don't remember seeing a Starbucks on every corner.. I
only remember the
McDonalds and Burger Kings...they seemed to dominate the
factory food...

I don't remember recycling...until I was in high school...
I do not remember seeing strip malls on every corner until
college...

I DO REMEMBER SWIMMING IN FAIRLY CLEAN LAKES IN WISCONSIN
WHEN I WAS SMALL..

(TAKE NOTE) THE ONLY REASON I AM WRITING IN CAPS RIGHT NOW
IS BECAUSE I ACCIDENTLY PRESSED SOME BUTTON ON MY JAPANESE
COMPUTER AND CAN NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT BACK TO
NORMAL..

OK...

I DO REMEMBER OPEN FIELDS LOTS OF THEM IN THE NORTHWEST AREA
OF CHICAGOLAND...

I REMEMBER DRINKING TAP WATER EVERYDAY WHEN I WAS A CHILD

I REMEMBER WHEN FOOD WAS NOT LABELED "ORGANIC"
I ALSO REMEMBER LOCAL FARMERS IN THE NORTHWEST AREA OF
CHICAGOLAND...

I REMEMBER WHEN EVERY RESTAURANT HAD A SMOKING SECTION

I REMEMBER WHEN SHOOTINGS WERE NOT A COMMON THING...

I REMEMBER WHEN "GLOBAL WARMING" WAS NEVER TALKED ABOUT..

I REMEMBER WHEN MY COMPUTER SCREEN WAS JUST BLACK AND GREEN...

THERE IS ALOT MORE TO MENTION..BUT NOT AT THE MOMENT

I change U change

If I don't change...how will anything else change?

I have a question for my readers...

What is your definition of Change?
