Life is no straight and easy corridor along which we travel
free and unhampered
but a maze of passages,
through which we must seek our way,
lost and confused,
now and again
checked in a blind alley.

On Dragonfly Wings with Buttercup Tea
Intriguing, sensitive, mysterious, loving, artistic and crackling with excitement for life is a pretty good description of who I am. I just retired from the world of art where I sold my Artfully Designed Handmade Jewelry for 28 years; although, art will always be a part of who I am no matter what venue I choose to express it in.

I forgot to mention — I love the new header (or new to me — my phone doesn’t always pick up such detail) — but my laptop showed me right away “there’s something different”!

It’s okay, Becca. I get dizzy, sometimes, about who I’ve visited and who I haven’t. I appreciate the fact that you found it and commented. ☺️
Thank you for the compliment on my header and new blog theme. I’m still trying to get a few more things together. I plan to link my photo blog soon. 😍

YEA YEA YEA — I generally have to find some breadcrumb in order to find your lovely photo blog — linking it would be easy-peasy (for us … or I should say ME!) 😀

That’s quite an intriguing combination of a beautiful picture and verse.
I am left wondering as to what is it each one of us needs to do to shift out of the ‘lost and confused’ state as we go through life? Put another way, what is it that makes us feel like a ‘thrown dice’, caught up in unfolding events, clinging onto the ways from my past but yet failing to call the shots? It is in finding answers to these questions that we could make the shift mentioned above.
Thanks

You’re comment opens up a great many questions. It’s a journey – no doubt about that – which way our road opens up before determines the struggles and the suffering we will experience. If we are seekers and search to learn how to be wise and travel the road of least resistance; perhaps, we can arrive at our final destination with the least amount of pain and uncertainty as possible. If not, we are forced to continue the heartaches that life puts in our path. There are no easy answers. It’s a question that even the sages can only speculate. But, they’re speculations leave us pondering from their wise words.
Thank You, Shakti, for your inspiring and thought provoking comment. Your visits are always a stimulation in my mind.
Namaste
Isadora 😉 😊

Thank you, dear friend. I guess I’m only semi-back. I returned to a great many chores that leave me with mixed emotions as I would rather be on here than doing them. My orchids were partying and have multiplied greatly. If I want to have flowers in the early winter I must re-pot … re-pot … re-pot.
I hope to catch up on your story. I start to read it but guilt drew me back to my responsibilities. 😘
Toodles and sweet hugs ❤
