What do YOU need today?

I've been thinking about hopelessness and dispair in the last couple of hours. Reading my FB feed it is hard to avoid impassioned posts about injustice and pain; devastating acts of one human against others. At home and abroad. We are victims and we are perpetrators.

 So I came into my studio looking to work through some of the feelings using form and color. Listening to music softly enough to also hear the incessant Portland rain, I saw this little figure emerge. Serious, intent stare, and holding a balloon with the word hope. 'Here. Give what you need to get,' she seemed to say.

I guess this could be an expanded version of the golden rule. Not so much about how I want to be treated, but more about what I want to experience in the world. What do you need today?

Hi Consu! It's Beth in Ohio. I am still not on FB but Laura told me about your new blog. I was so excited to read it and catch up. I'm so inspired by your artwork and your stories. xo

Oh, Beth, it's great to hear from you! I saw your pretty smiling face with Kirsten hiking in AZ and asked about your cyber-whereabouts! Facebook is fun, but also 'just an option.' Thank you for coming to visit me here at the blog. I have been working on making more art and putting it 'out there' since the start of 2013, and, so far, it's been a lot of fun. Please let me know if you have anything online of your own where I can peek at your work/life. Sending you a warm hug! Hope you are well!!
