The Secret Society Of Oaks - Sunlight



The storms and heavy rains down here have an uncanny characteristic, they don't last long and the sun always penetrates even the thickest clouds. There is nothing that love cannot heal. I know I've said before that sometimes love is not enough, but you know what? Things get better with love. I like what my friend Deborah, my lovely tall oak nymph sisterfriend told me... love always wins. When I am sad I write, paint or draw. I started the above drawing last night and the constant stream of good and loving thoughts chased the dark clouds. Life is good. I like to think that.

To all my beloved sisterfriends, thank you. I know I am being vague but the details do not matter. I was sad and you comforted me and for all your loving thoughts, thank you.

...of pachyderms and brain farts and little nymphs hiding in trees.....

Ces said...

Hah!
...and fast dogs chasing kettles!
...and No.9 playing Mozart
...and little divas serving honeysuckle tea!
...and a brainiac bespectackled bird watching!!!

Lisa Holtzman said...

Glad you're feeling better. Yes, life is good...why think any other way?

Lizzy Frizzfrock said...

Beautiful drawing... I'm glad the sadness left you. :-) Lizzy

Silke said...

I am so glad that love is making things better for you!! And the art you make while you are sad and anxious shows the beauty and love underneath all that... Love, Silke

Manon Doyle said...

Another freakin' fantastic piece twin sisterfriend!!
I believe what Deborah says.... love always wins when you open your heart and let it in!!

Anne Huskey-Lockard said...

Love is always there for us; we have to reach out sometimes, and perhaps stretch a bit but there is always a heart that has more than enough to share.
(shaking some extra out of her big grumpy, lumpy heart to send to Ces, Anne harrumphs about losing her Punk image with all this being nice stuff.....and yes, life is GOOD.)

XXOO!!
Anne...the nut

Deborah said...

YES! My Cessalicious is back on her game!!! YIP YIP YIPPEEEEE! Vague is good a lot of times...If you can't be kind, at least be vague! Oh sisterfriend, I could tell you so many stories about a difficult time in my life...would make your head spin and pop off! I have learned that the human heart can accept anything but death. Point being, all the love we put into little nuts eventually blooms, but in God's Time. In the end, only Love remains. And oh how I love you Ces...obsessed with your Cessisnous! **kisskiss** Deb

Glad to know that art heals the soul almost as much as love.

Is this me?! I like my hair long and black tita Ces! Maybe you should make me the King Nutjob holding that lone mouse in the previous post surrounded by nuts!hehe But I don't mind if you draw me like a nymph, if that's part of the initiation to be a member of the secret society.haha I'll leave that up to you.

By the way, thank you for that inspiring message you left in my blog. It made me smile and realize that I don't need to look further for inspiration. I have my friends.*hugs*

About the ouija board, haven't tried playing it. But if I have the chance, I'd give the spirits a hard time moving the planchette.haha

Caroline said...

Good that things are brighter now. By the way I like what you wrote on your banner too! Thank you again for the ultimate in ATC exchanges!! I am soooooo lucky!!! Can't wait to share them with everyone else so will be blogging about them soon.x

Arija said...

Ces my dear, I too have been sad, today would have been my elder brothers 90th birthday. He had such a hard life, I still often cry when i think of him.

So glad your storm has blown over.

Renee said...

Dearest Ces remember the world is full of love and it is aimed at you.

Love Renee xoxo

Deborah said...

Good Morning dearie! I so love how this piece is coming along. I see Bella back there and the elephant, and a few other things my wrinkly old eyes cannot make out since I cannot enlarge it...precisely the thing that drew me into your art from first my eyes glanced upon it. Wishing you a peace-filled day, my sisterfriend. **kisskiss** Deb

Tammie Lee said...

This is a lovely drawing. Quite wonderful that good and loving thoughts flowed through~

Marie S said...

If they told us the terrible two's really means two digits, we would be prepared. Well maybe not!
Just love, it is all you can do!!
I am so glad you are feeling better.
Love and hugs.
Madi sends big hugs, too!!

Baino said...

Aww Cesicle. I hope things are looking up for you. You are being vague as a violet! Except with your drawings which are clear as crystal. Big virtual squeezes from down under.

BT said...

Another beautiful and detailed drawing from the lovely Ces. I'm so glad you are no longer sad - maybe mad but not bad....

Love and hugs
BT
