The First Ladies...

 

a new book.

I lived across town
from Bethune-Cookman
in Daytona.
Curious to read how
these two ladies helped
each other.

Independence Day...

 

... a
long
time
ago.

bye, bye June...

 

maybe next year will
be more of what you want or
less than what you got.

Georgia O'Keeffe point of view...

 

Georgia O'Keeffe on looking closely at, what Jim Harrison calls, the "small gods" ...

A flower is relatively small. Everyone has many associations with a flower — the idea of flowers. You put out your hand to touch the flower — lean forward to smell it — maybe touch it with your lips almost without thinking — or give it to someone to please them. Still — in a way — nobody sees a flower — really — it is so small — we haven’t time — and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time. If I could paint the flower exactly as I see it no one would see what I see because I would paint it small like the flower is small.

So I said to myself — I’ll paint what I see — what the flower is to me but I’ll paint it big and they will be surprised into taking time to look at it — I will make even busy New-Yorkers take time to see what I see of flowers.

A journal.  There is no more important tool to carry everywhere you go.
