Welcome to Songbird's Nest and Starflowers!

Here it is safe to relax for a bit,
but also to be vibrant and intense,
like the birth of a new star!

The dichotomy of living an authentic life
is always thus, to balance between the
calm and peaceful safety of our familiar
and feathered nest, and to fly out to the
limits of our imagination to discover,
create and redeem this world from
the darkness that pulls at the light.

The night's darkness, the winter's
darkness ~ these are good and holy,
but the darkness of a damaged
beyond repair, destructive, greedy
or completely selfish force must be escaped.

Escape velocity must be reached, and
then safe landings must return.
No wonder we are all spinning like
the colorful musical amazing beings
we are. We must.

Sending love to every soul, every friend
who finds me here. Peace and love.

My, oh my..

The temperature is unbelievable so I won't bother writing it down.

Occupying my thoughts today is the question of how to prosper financially through creative endeavor. I have been working on my etsy shop
http://www.etsy.com/shop/starflowercreations
and I also am keeping an artfire studio
http://www.artfire.com/users/StarflowersCreations
to find the people who will recognize me. I have been making new objects of beauty and adornment, and I am blessing the work and the medium, and expecting a positive return.

Please share my links with friends whom you think would enjoy beaded art and jewelry, little knitted quirkeries, and the out-of-print or extra craft books I will be offering in more abundance soon. I would so appreciate that bit of passing along the smooth and shiny stone I am passing to you now. If you are of a similar nature and have ideas or suggestions that work for you, please write me a comment?

I also want to make this blog more reflective of the chaotic beauty in my head, and less sedate, but I need to learn much more about how that may be accomplished. Helpful insights are welcome as resources for my learning.

Thank you for coming over to visit. I am seriously resolving to spend more time working on all creativity in my life, and I will be sending you notes of music, art and literature. Please invite your friends to join us here, where we may even discuss topics of incredible importance to us as a race of sentient beings! But for now, let it suffice to speak of beauty and art and the desire of my heart to prosper through the creation of my honest hand work.
