Sketching and Thoughts-with Cecelia Rappaport

One day I was sketching to the sound of the surf rolling in and watching many of the pebbles and rocks dislodge from the sand and roll back out with the surf. It was as if they came alive and were dancing out to sea.

 It reminded me of the love I have for my husband of 30 years.  We have made many great changes together and are now reaping the benefits of many successes that we can continue enjoying with each new day.  Life is fun and we can play together for many more years to come.

 My simple attempt at a Haiku:

 Two rocks buried deep
 Worked loose, freed by
     rolling surf
 Happy, chance to play 

Do you See What I see? with Cecelia Rappaport

Flipping through my sketch book, I found this doodle that I had created one afternoon while vacationing in the Caribbean.

I think my subconscious was really tuning in to my island surroundings.

However, I am not always the best at communicating which reminded me of one of R.D.Laing (Knots) quotes:

"Jack can see he sees

what he can see Jill can’t see

and he can see

that Jill can’t see that she can’t see

but he can’t see WHY

Jill can’t see that Jill can’t see”   

I guess it really is a wise idea never to assume that someone will see things exactly as I do!
