Ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that, because what the world needs is people who come alive.
Howard Thurman
Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.

Stunning collage Karin. Such beautiful, uplifting images. I love the tiny details - like the multicoloured eyelashes that make your pieces so magical. Beautiful. Pen x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous ... !!
ReplyDeleteThe eyes ... always, those eyes of sanctuary -- the Tibetan eyes; your third eye in "time turns" ...
I wear an Eye of Horus around my neck ...

ReplyDeleteOptimism and grace? Yes, I care to join. Love the piece and I can't believe you're working in spite of swollen hands - you are my hero!
ReplyDeleteOh...this one went somewhere deep deep inside me, Beautiful Karin. Deep breaths and tears right now...
ReplyDeleteI love you and that incredible spirit full of grace and optimism, that listens and knows so well. You amaze me.
Sending those big soul hugs to you, and feeling them returned.
Girlfriend! Anything you touch is AMAZING! LOVE your collage!
ReplyDeleteThank you Pen, I think I can get lost in those details!! I had to stop myself, or I would have been at it all night :) but they do add depth and beauty. xox
ReplyDeleteHey Jaliya, well looking at your time stamp, I was awake, but not online :) I got a good sleep in this morning though - ahhhhh, rest! Yeah, there is something about the eyes - they pull me in. xox
I would really love that too Robyn - maybe we can try Skyping sometime!?!
thanks Corrine and Stacy :)
Let's hop on that optimism/grace train together Patti :) Collage is more user friendly for my hands - other people's images and words, me and my glue stick, is pretty relaxing...
Oh, thank you Kim. Sending you soothing, peace filled hugs. xox
Ha! thank you girlfriend!! Love your enthusiasm Liz, I feel re-energized :) xo
Hey K

ReplyDeletegood posting.. i like this.. because it related to my research
ReplyDeleteWow. There is so much in this collage. I love the way you separated it into pieces. At first I though it was many collages and I was amazed. Now I am amazed that it is one.
ReplyDeleteI am so drawn to the I AM piece.
Wishing you all the strength that I feel here, more rest and beautiful thoughts.

I am crying at this moment...thoughts about death...we all have a journey and we can only use each day to the fullest and attempt to understand ...there is not understanding....but maybe recognizing and seeing the gift of the moment...the day. Hugs and Kisses for a dear sister. Imagine and Live in Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart ...beautiful image and very important details :O)
ReplyDeleteKarin, Iona (merci33) introduced me to your blog as a window into vision boards, a process which I've been using recently with a patient in our childrens' hospital. Your collage is exquisite and points to a focused optimism that is truly inspiring. Thank you.
