In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. so thanks to those rekindlers!!!
(Another posibility for Artday Monday's weekly theme of "supernatural". This is an excerpt from yet another endeavor. It started as a statement told to me by a small child years ago (he graduates from high school this year.) I didn't know what to do with it until my niece died. Then the story and images just seemed to fall onto the pages. That was three years ago...I guess I'd better stop sitting on this one and get it published.)
...Each pulled out a list. Each checking it twice. Each saying a prayer for the naughty and nice.
...They talked about the old names and names that are new. Discussing each one...
...So watch what you say
and be careful where you walk.
May you be alittle wiser,
for you now know...
"supernatural"...so many ways to go...
(Artday Monday theme for the week.)

Art by committee entry...Gurney Journey blog.
"Stone emitted a kind of bark -- ha! -- and showed his teeth again."
"It may have been a castle, but it was unlike anything you'd see in history books. An alien hand had drawn the blueprints; I was willing to bet on that."
James Gurney's Art by Committee blog challenge...for last week actually. I didn't complete it on time to enter, but I wanted to finish it still. It's must visit blog, especially if you like science fiction.

“The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.” James Allen quote SEED...entry for Illustration Friday. The original is small. I'm considering enlarging the drawing and adding more detail to the tree for an upcoming colored pencil exhibit. I did this last fall and it's been on my mind lately. Funny how it fit this week's theme.
