(from) the two of us (h.n.y.)

we walked through this year

our feet caressing the earth 

new ground with each step 🦊❤️

As I look back on 2021, I realize that it has been the most productive and creative year of my life. A big reason that has been that way for me is because of  Yulan,  a truly inspirational guide and partner in making art, living, laughing, loving, discovering, experimenting and dreaming.  It’s been a very, very  good year - for the two of us. Happy New Year 🦊❤️

 

new year’s resolutions

like a drunk’s tattoo

forever pledges proclaimed

slowly fade away  🦊❤️

New Year’s Eve is a day away and we have some time to write down our resolution(s) for 2022. Will it be a big, bold proclamation of life altering significance? Or… will it be a silent, tiny spark of newness that can be fanned into a warm fire of personal satisfaction and accomplishment,  day by day throughout the new year? 🦊❤️

 

fine line

frosty and his friends

casting their fates to the wind

living for today  🦊❤️

There is a fine line separating “living carelessly” from “living freely”.  There is a fine line separating “fear” from “caution”.  

When fear is used as a tool to instill caution… carelessness will increase and freedom will be reduced. 🦊❤️

Well folks here is the last “your turn tuesday gallery” of 2021.  It has been a wonderful year of creativity on the part of the many submitters over the year. Looking forward to 2022 to see what new things might pop up. 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 🦊❤️

 

 

left behind

forlorn wreaths and trees

huddle on the special day

sending love your way 🦊❤️

There is a certain sadness that I feel when I see trees that did not find a home for Christmas. There is a story there to be told about life’s struggles and outcomes. Let’s have a moment of silence for all of the trees who sacrificed it all this Christmas season but were not successful in being adorned with twinkling lights and dazzling ornaments. We decorate you with our thoughts and love.   🦊❤️

  

 

into the dark

1:30 am

from my window i watch him…

go into the night  🦊❤️

Watching my kids disappear into the the forests in the dark of night at Ultra races is an experience that I still find challenging, even after many years of crewing them in some pretty spooky environments.  They say the universe gives you what you need to learn to deal with your discomfort and fears in life.  So it is that now my daughter goes into the dark of night as a police officer.  Yes… I think that is how the universe works… 🦊❤️ 

 

our christmas wish…

night before christmas

tommy waits for santa too

“meowy christmas all!”  🦊❤️

Our Christmas eve was made special by Tommy the trail cat. We sauntered up to his homestead to wish him christmas cheer and give him a treat. He greeted us, sat with us, gobbled his treat and then simply sat there accepting our loving pets. He looked here and there while sitting under the deep dark blue sky… waiting for santa to arrive. Merry Christmas to all… meow. 🦊❤️
