Life in Transit#1, project participant, 2012
Welcome to ‘Following the Moon’ and a time to begin to take action to negate any negativity as you find it. There’s not ever been a better time to take and extend good care. The above image is from the public art project that I’ve designed titled ‘Life in Transit’…I’m working with women in domestic violence and homeless shelter programs for the next Moon/Months as they design images that combine poetry and art to display in the busses and trains here in our area…work in progress…I’ll share more as it all unfolds.
This week we move through the final days of the ‘Clarity’ Moon. From April 15 until the close of this cycle on April 20, you couldn’t do more good for your own precious Art/Life and the over all well being of the planet than to ask ‘How can I help?‘ and then take a clear action.
I’m heading out of town today for a week long Artist-in-Residence at the small college, 600 miles away, where I’ve designed the ‘Robert Calloway Memorial Healing Garden’. It’s my home stomping grounds so it will be an excellent time of seeing friends, old and new, and family. I’ll present the ‘Earth Day Eve’ Creativity Salon for students and faculty on Saturday, April 21.
Have you made any plans for celebrating our incredible Earth Mother?
BD and I received sobering news since my last post…our two Wren House pups, Ruby and Val, who are 13 and 12.5 years respectively…are both moving very much closer to the opposite shore…nothing is definite at this time but our little Valentine girl has been diagnosed with bladder cancer and Ruby, a sheer miracle at 13…her birthday was Wednesday…has an odd issue with the nerves in her throat that causes her to begin to suffacate when she gets too excited. We’ve had our ups and downs with these two rescues…as you know there are so many stories to tell when you live with 4 leggeds…love love love to these sweet girls.

That’s each of them this week…Val loves to nap in the sunshine and Ruby is all about her kibble ball…she demands that it be brought to her each and every morning.
I’m wishing you a magnificent week of creating the Art/Life you hold a vision for…remembering that this week you want to be able to savor the flavor of your days filled with all the goodness you can allow in.
Fox mom and kit, Drozda, today
It’s a bit fuzzy since I had to shoot the photo through the screen on the window…but look closely and you’ll see mama Gray Fox and one of her 4 kits resting just outside my writing studio. She remained peacefully curled up, basking in the sunshine (notice a theme) while her babes bounced in and our of the hedgerow behind her.

Beach,
Enjoy your residency, Donna–that sounds wonderful! I hope your girls will be feeling better soon. And I love that you have foxes in your garden!
Donna – So very sorry to hear about your dogs. My heart goes out to them, and to you. May you too have a magnificent week helping others to achieve clarity.
I have noticed during this phase, that as clarity begins to shine here – finally – the shadow spaces have also emerged, needing love and light – and clarity. Interesting…
Safe journey
So sorry to hear about your beautiful four legged friends. I know it must be breaking your heart. And I would love to hear more about your involvement with Life in Transit. Thank goodness for all your good work. It touches my heart and I’m sure you touch the heart of everyone you come in contact with.

Blessings to your little four-legged family. It is always hard when they are ill, because you want them to be well and happy. I, too, had a family of grey foxes when I lived way, way out in the country. They started out in the back of the barn, and ended up in a briar patch at my back door. There were four kits, and I watched them daily as they explored and learned their way in the world. A friend that lives on the next farm over told me that he now has the foxes under his porch, and that it is fun to know they found someone who nurtures their well-being.
