I thought I’d found a reason to live / Just like before when I was a child / Only to find that dreams made of sand / Would just fall apart and slip through my hands / But the spirit of life keeps us strong / And the spirit of life is the will to carry on / Adversity what have I done to you / To cause this reclusive silence / That has come between me and you / And the spirit of life oh-ho remains in light / And the spirit of life oh-ho remains inside / I never thought it would be quite like this / Living outside of mutual bliss / But as long as the veins in our arms still stand up / The spirit of life will keep living on / ‘dead can dance’
This art work was inspired by a wonderful friend and wonderful artist, Kym Breeze. Kym once asked if you could describe your life as a song what would it be. The song “Better Days” by the Goo Goo Dolls always comes to mind for me. Thank you for the inspiration Kym, and may we all find better days. :-) Visit Kym’s Gallery: Kym Breeze / ____________ Better Days Video ______________________ BETTER DAYS And you ask me what I want this year / And I try to make this kind and clear / Just a chance that maybe we’ll find better days / Cuz I don’t need boxes wrapped in strings / And desire and love and empty things / Just a chance that maybe we’ll find better days So take these words / And sing out loud / Cuz everyone is forgiven now / Cuz tonight’s the night the world begins again And it’s someplace simple where we can live / And something only you can give / And thats faith and trust and peace while we’re alive / And the one poor child who saved this world / And there’s 10 million more who probably could / If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them So take these words / And sing out loud / Cuz everyone is forgiven now / Cuz tonight’s the night the world begins again I wish everyone was loved tonight / And somehow stop this endless fight / Just a chance that maybe we’ll find better days So take these words / And sing out loud / Cuz everyone is forgiven now / Cuz tonight’s the night the world begins again / Cuz tonight’s the night the world begins again GOO GOO DOLLS / © Dave Moilanen 2008

/ “Moondance”is in the Landscape collection...it is a new painting based on a winter scene I had posted earlier… Watercolour on Arches Paper… Well, its a marvelous night for a moondance / With the stars up above in your eyes / A fantabulous night to make romance / ‘neath the cover of October skies / And all the leaves on the trees are falling / To the sound of the breezes that blow / And I’m trying to please to the calling / Of your heart-strings that play soft and low / And all the nights magic seems to whisper and hush / And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush Michael Buble Music / / Well, I wanna make love to you tonight / I can’t wait ‘til the morning has come / And I know that the time is just right / And straight into my arms you will run / And when you come my heart will be waiting / To make sure that you’re never alone / There and then all my dreams will come true, dear / There and then I will make you my own / And every time I touch you, you just tremble inside / And I know how much you want me that you can’t hide. ..Van Morrison
Forgiven: Luke 23:32-34 “There were also two others, criminals, led with Him to be put to death. And when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified HIM, and the criminals, one on the right hand side and one on the left.

Oil Pastel And Acrylic On Wood (With Minor Digital Enhancements) All of us need HOPE in our lives and these are some of my favourite quotes on that :D “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars” – Oscar Wilde “Hope is the dream of a soul awake.” – A French Proverb “The very least you can do in your life is to figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is to live inside that hope.” – Barbara Kingsolver (Know of someone who needs the extra “lift” in his/her life? May this be a card of encouragement to that someone you care) You can view and buy my other “Hope Lifts Me Higher” creations from my Zazzle Gallery:
This Chickadee decided to fly away the moment I took this photo. / / Captured on Christmas Day 2008 with a Canon Rebel XT w/ 75-300 zoom lens. / This is my most popular photo with over 2000 view. I’ll Fly Away Some bright morning when this life is over / I’ll fly away / To that home on God’s celestial shore / I’ll fly away I’ll fly away oh glory / I’ll fly away (in the morning) / When I die hallelujah by and by / I’ll fly away When the shadows of this life have grown / I’ll fly away / Like a bird from prison walls has flown / I’ll fly away Oh how glad and happy when we meet / I’ll fly away / No more cold iron shackles on my feet / I’ll fly away Just a few more weary days and then / I’ll fly away / To a land where joys will never end / I’ll fly away Author: Albert E Brumley MY BUBBLESITE / /

I have not stopped thinking about the works of / LisaG and her newest piece called Sad Tree it got my mind and heart juiced up! SAD TREE _Beside a waterhole / a sad tree was planted seasonally / it leaned forward in a spirited attempt / to soulfully drench an act of love it did it all / without shame smoke often filled the air / the sad tree / was the last of its breed it had seen a fair amount / it had danced the last dance all that was left was to / take care of its bounty no more travel / c’est la vie a railway line sang blue / as the willow / spoke to flesh and blood flesh ran / to the rose bush without bud / asking for no reason why must I hang my head? It was the truth a bird floating from the heavens / hid / behind / the mercy of the burning / sad tree twisted ivy / seeded / in the minds / of blank onlookers the sad tree / discovered redemption / in the brushing of a cross in the hope / of / never truly knowing in the rooted earth / of / every lasting life in the ache / of birth turn your head / give away your perfect suit pick up your roots / be gone understand / black as coal / light as the few_ By Lisa G. 2009 ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
