The View From My Art Corner

Finding beauty in the mess.

There are several months of scraps and things scattered around the space where I create.

It was like a path of memories over recent days.

Bits that I'd intended to use in art.

Quotes for art, or reminders for my day, inspirations, help for decisions.

I decided to really look.

To focus.

So I grabbed my focusing tool:  the Nikon.

And started looking.

Seeing.

Reading.

Remembering.

Sometimes I get so familiar with my surroundings

that I forget why I have it there in the first place.

So, I read and I think and I remember.

~ Kelly Rae Roberts print ~ Surrender ~

It reads:

Whatever you may be celebrating or grieving,

may you practice courage every day

and let it nurture your spirit

however weary or uplifted it may be.

There is hope in our celebrations

and strength in our brokenness.

May you embrace your own sweet surrender

with faith and courage along the way.
