Art For the Month of April Pt. 1
Yesterday was our monthly C.cada ( one of the local artist communities I am involved in) meeting. We met remotely of course by Zoom. It was our first attempt at it and we managed pretty well with the first time tech use. We had a devotion at 9 like usual and an emotion check-in. Then we all went off for four hours to do our work. At 1 P.M. we gathered back together to show everyone what we had done.
I shared a poem I had written entitled, “Moving A Season” . You can check it out by clicking on that link.
My sister shared a drawing she had done along with a short written prose poem. Isaiah Lewiston shared a song he had begun to write. Bella Lewiston shared two paintings she had finished over the last six weeks and another one she started. Betty Knowlton shared some of the bead paintings she had been working on and Ken Knowlton shared two graphic pieces and a photograph he had been working on.
I did not share any of the sketches I had been working on so over the next several posts I will share those.
Here is the first one. It is a cartoon cat creation I was experimenting with.

Moving A Season
April 17.
Spring
Was called for almost a month ago.
Flowers
And Showers
Are supposed to be our lot now.
But
I Am
In the storehouses of the snow.
This place
Says, “no”
To the new.
Old
Wineskins
Die hard,
Even in the temples which worship new growth.
When
The Mystery gets used to what was
Spring
Cannot find its Space.
But
I Am
Not
Staying in the storehouses of the snow,
Insists
“Wine flow,
In
Daffodils
And lilacs.
Survive.
Crack
Those old
Casks and finally
Burst Forth!”

Share Your World From 4-13-20
Well I am only three days late IN SHARING MY WORLD. This is the challenge where our hostess, Melanie, asks four or five questions. In answering them we, her contributors, share our worlds. Get it?
Anyway you can find out more about Share Your World by clicking the link above and going to Melanie’s site.
Here the questions and my answers:
What do you do to get rid of stress?
I pray a lot. I guess that means I must carry a lot of stress. Oh and I nap. I love naps.
In the past people were buried with the items they would need in the afterlife, what would you want buried with you so you could use it in the afterlife?
I am planning on getting new everything in the afterlife so I won’t be needing the broken stuff I had here.
What’s the opposite of a koala? (this is strictly for fun. I know what I came up with as an answer, but it was nonsensical. Alaok. See? It’s okay to pass on this one too if you want)
Let’s see Koala’s look warm and fuzzy so……
What’s the creepiest tech out there? (My interpretation of “tech” is app or program. If you know what “tech” is supposed to mean, hey! Great! Educate us.
This looks really good for the purposes it describes, but the idea that all our currency and economies will be controlled by satellites owned and operated by who? Well that just sounds very weird and super Terminatorish. I am glad they did not call it SkyNet.
GRATITUDE IS AN ATTITUDE
What method are you using to find your smile right now? Please explain in detail so others might utilize the same ideas. Some bloggers have shared a daily (weekly sometimes) method that they are using to keep their spirits up right now. I’d love to hear from anyone who does and is successful at it! Have a great week and stay safe!
As I said I pray a lot. I am also connecting with a lot of people on line. Finally I have planned myself a fairly rigid schedule of activity: praying, exercising, housework, church work, art and writing….and of course eating.
If that doesn’t work I watch these:
