Hurricane Interruptus

Trying to write about something else today.
Trying all week to sit and write! To be honest my time was stolen and or lost.

I do want to stay true to the artistic conversation in this blog but the storm and 
what came from it kept gnawing at me, so I am sharing this.

Fury at the front door

New England was in Irene’s path on Sunday and as you can see from the photos, quite scary. 
We are back to normal now and have power. 
The water quickly receded once the rain seized.

Back to calm

This week I have been trying to get back on track back and on schedule. 
I was thrown off my game, thrown off center. 
When you lose a few days, as know, the to do list moves to the next day and so on. 
 The best-laid plans are tossed up in the air. 
I am here to say that in the end it was a great experience. 
It was right up there with a snow day. 
We stayed put for part of the time and enjoyed the quiet time and 
the silence of not being plugged in.

We had friends up from NY because parts of Brooklyn had a mandatory evacuation. 
I felt awful because they came up to our place only to witness flooding and downed trees. 
For future reference my house is not the go to house during storms. 
In spite of it all we had a great time. 
The kids played, we read mags ( favorite pastime for my friends and myself) 
had a few glasses of wine, enjoyed a nice meal and just relaxed. 
I just love that sometimes it takes a hurricane!

So, gift wrapped in chaos and uncertainty came an expected surprise 
to slow you down and witness joy and a few more things:

friendship

family

connection

silence

appreciation

conversation

slowness

refuge

smiles

and

laughter

Glad to be back at the desk, my new writing spot….

I plan on giving you some artistic food for thought next week and plan to share more art. 
I am also working on introducing a fun Friday concept 
centered around words and the paths they take. 
So stop back in.

Have a Superb Weekend • Stay Creative • Make lots of Art
