Flying Wishes

Available at Springville Museum of Art

Like a night bird

Lately the only time I can work on my paintings is late night (really really late night). Life became so busy for me I don't even have time to think of all the things I would like to get done during the day. I just go day by day and finish what I can, so I wont be frustrated with myself. Today I was drawing on the floor (my desk still full of unfinished projects) and at my left a purple unicorn lying on the floor reminded me of happiness. She is now my muse. I paint, and read and look, and draw and erase until my mind stop wondering, then I know it is time to go to sleep. While turning the lights off I am eager to see her face, sleeping peacefully with the little penguin she calls "papa" on her side. I am not excited for the morning to come .. until I hear her laughing...then an energy coming from no where refreshes me and makes me smile. I am up again playing, feeding, cleaning, reading... and all the "etc"s in between. It is when the sun hides when my mind stars flying again like a night bird hold by a red string (just in case someone needs me).

Happy First Birthday Happiness!!

Happiness is getting old and wise...

She is even more precious and loving everyday. Her eyes still remind me of a moonless night and her smile is all... all before... all after... all eternity.

It is been twelve months, a lot of kisses, a lot of smiles, a lot of blessings and since then I have praised God every single night for letting her in our lives.

As all things are filled with my soul ...

- I Like For You to be Still
by Pablo Neruda

I like for you to be still: it is as though you were absent,
and you hear me from far away and my voice does not touch you.
It seems as though your eyes had flown away
and it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth.

As all things are filled with my soul
you emerge from the things, filled with my soul.
You are like my soul, a butterfly of dream,
and you are like the word Melancholy.

I like for you to be still, and you seem far away.
It sounds as though you were lamenting, a butterfly cooing like a dove.
And you hear me from far away, and my voice does not reach you:
Let me come to be still in your silence.

And let me talk to you with your silence
that is bright as a lamp, simple as a ring.
You are like the night, with its stillness and constellations.
Your silence is that of a star, as remote and candid.

I like for you to be still: it is as though you were absent,
distant and full of sorrow as though you had died.
One word then, one smile, is enough.
And I am happy, happy that it's not true.

Cool Vintage at Provo!

Last Friday we run into this store. ..Well kind of, I had to go see an art show at the Gallery Stroll. I have heard of Coal Umbrella before but never really got my attention until i went there and saw what they have. I am pretty exited about it I keep thinking of driving to beautiful Provo just to tour this boutique again. They specialize in hand picked vintage clothing and have some records, art works, and hand made stuff. I am not a super vintage fan but I love their T-shirts and artwork. If you are a vintage fan you definitive have to go and if you are not you should check it out you may become one!

the sweetest ride

Tonight Camila couldn’t sleep.

My husband and I tried putting her in our bed, the music box, and a few more tricks but they had no effect on our super girl. I usually request my husband's help in these times but tonight he was very tired and almost unaware retrieved early to the dream world.

I very hopelessly, placed Camila on her little car and start pushing it around the house. I suddenly saw her little hands, the ones I carefully check for five fingers nine moths ago, and realize she holds on pretty good. She turned her head and giggle at me…

She is happy.

She drove and I pushed around the house tonight for a good hour, we only stop to pick up some little things to put in the little car’s compartment.

While pushing the car on my knees I had a sweet thought…

I took a deep breath as if I could disintegrate the scene and save it somewhere…inside.

I figure one day I may not be able to sleep and I will happily exhale this moment and feel like I do tonight.
