Lemon, 2014 

It could have been better, but isn't that always the case? I just wanted something out there. A small piece of myself.

Why? Am I afraid of being forgotten? Maybe.

It was simple. Simple things speak to me. Simple isn't the problem.

Unrefined is the problem. But crude can work, on occasion. Usually not.

And I'll do it again. I know I'll do it again, and again, and again.

    I love seeing pieces of you. Unrefined, refined, all of it. You exist, and do it beautifully.

  5. Afraid of being forgotten...I know that feeling well. Seems to be increasing as I age. Same for you?

  6. my friend maggie has a wall covered with her images of pears, sketches, pastels, drawings, oils, all ways--the form speaks to her and never ceases to intrigue her. so yes, yes, to again and again

    1. Pears can be so beautiful. I recently saved this beauty: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/37928821836062733/

  7. On the other hand, I expect to be forgotten after awhile. Even so, there is a kind of quiet nobility in obscurity. And I will leave behind echoes to find.

  9. I'm glad your lemon is there. And I like simple too; but too often I over-complicate. So a lesson there too. See? You're needed...

    1. I fear I've been doing a lot of over complicating lately, but maybe it's just enough complicating. It is so difficult to know.

  10. This little rant was in response to some feelings I was having about social media, but it seems my last minute thought of adding a sketch of a lemon is what's received all the attention. It proves my point, unrefined/unedited writing is often unclear. Thanks for all the lemon love.
