For some people it's not a pleasant prospect on varying levels, for others its a pleasant thing. We each have difierent histories when it comes to our Mums.
Just do your best!
Here's a couple of quotes to bring a touch of levity to this somewhat commercialised event.
"I want my children to have all the things I couldn't afford. Then I want to move in with them" Phyllis Diller.
"If evolution really works, how come mothers
only have two hands?" Milton Berle
So what are your thoughts on the Mother's Day event?

Had breakfast with my lovely man sitting outside basking in that early
morning warmth, watching the sun-diamonds dance madly on the slate blue oceanic dance floor symetrically ribboned in white. Mist swirled languidly along the surface adding sensuality to this glorious mystical dance. I wish it could be captured on film, but it simply has to be experienced! I never tire of this magical sight.
Here's an interesting quote:
"History shows us that the people who end up
changing the world – the great political, social, scientific, technological, artistic, even sports revolutionaries – are always nuts, until they are right,
and then they are geniuses.” – John Eliot
hmmmm! Thoughts?

Such an earth-shattering event. A cataclysmic shift in the entire universe centred around 3 days at Golgotha's bloodied hill.
"Oh Aslan! You're real! You're real! What does it mean?"
"It means that though the witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still. If she could have looked a little further back into the stillness & darkness before Time, she would have known that when  willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor's stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backwards." (The Lion the Witch & the Wardrobe)

 Ah well: every season has it's positive elements and Autumn in full sun is one of them. Sooo looking forward to experincing that!
Here's a quote by George Elliot
"Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a
bird  I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns. "
So what's your thoughts about this strange season where dying in vivid firey shades and inevitable decay provides an embryo for Spring?

To my shame I haven't been for one swim yet! I know!!
Actually I'm quite contect to sea-gaze for now. I love the constant movement,  moods, uncertainty, the ebb & flow & intercolour changes of this horizonless ocean that occurs on a daily basis just outside my door.
May I never take it for granted. Lterally and figuratively.
"For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:14

While perusing through my art scans I came across an image I was commissioned to create for a business that included body piercing.
The brief was to create a mysterious other-world being incorporating selected jewellery pieces that were then literally pierced through the image/canvas!
I just loved creating this creature! I have an inkling that our Creator didn't just stop with lil' old earth when it came to producing life with all its myriad forms. There's an entire universe to play in!
Check the image on Facebook and be delighted! ]]>Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:20:36 -0800http://www.paulanovak.net/1/post/2012/01/post-title-click-and-type-to-edit6.htmlHere we are. 2012!
Is it the end of the world as we know it or the beginning of a new one? Regardless, let's look at making this year one of renwed heart-friendships, brand new encounters, innovation, challenge
and enlarging our God-space.
I'm working at pursuing all of the above, especially RAK,s.
A challenging quote.  Selah.
