Ferm Living: Some Fresh Stuff

Here are some treats from ferm LIVING, I like the contemporary sensibility of these items. Clean and fresh.

Draw Unto Me: The Magnetics of Waiting

So I am in this new energetic balancing act: Draw to, await arrival of, think of it and bring it to you, and any manner of feminine, horizontal, round and magnetic wiles. All of this is versus go forward, move ahead, plan for it, masculine, structural, cognitive and linear.

The image I provide here is one of openness, emptiness, no expectancy or associated word games or puzzles to figure out. Sorry, even this posting lacks a framework and I just don't care. Seems to be fine just as it is. At least I will spellcheck.

Can you imagine yourself sitting and waiting, for what, you don't know? It is NOT passive, don't get confused with that. I know some of you know EXACTLY what I am talking about. And for others, this is 100% lost on you. Yup.

The Goods of Slumber

I saw this image and was reminded of the pile of books,magazines and Washington Post Style sections that adorn the top of my nightstand. Buddha is there too. So much can be known about a person when taking in some one's space visually, even in snippets of the whole. I am a Slumber Champion. That means I am all for setting up the conditions for good rest. For me, that is reading novels, non-fiction and the Style section lying in view of Buddha who rests so peacefully. My itty bitty son sometimes walks up to him and says "Hi Buddha". Ahhhh, good slumber buddies.

Charging up my Imagination: Time for a New Owlet, I Mean Outlet

Handmade Owls by Lulu Detwiatkowski

The word 'gestate' is close to the mouth movement and ear catch of 'just sit'. I just realized that. As a former pusher, defined here as someone who pushes herself along life's road, I am now called to gestate. Or just sit. And you know what? That's all I feel like doing anyway. What are you being called to do?

My toddler son likes owls. He likes the visual 'O' in particular. He'll say 'hoo hoo hoo' when he sees the likeness, and pronounces the word with respect.
Lulu's TrailofInspiration blog is full of the good stuff of life and she took a snapshot of her own handmade owls that I have posted here. Give her a visit.

I Wanna Up the Fabulous

Carleton Varney's version of Tobacco Leaf

Check out Jennifer Boles's blog The Peak of Chic. Sometimes it just does me good to look at fabulous things and learn about the people who conjured them. It reminds me that my imagination is limitless and that those ramblings can often take form if just provided the room and focus.

From another angle we certainly do conjure that which we spend the most time focusing on and this is an often writ universal concept. I'm just saying.
