Apologies for my absence. Between moving and health issues it was a hard month and a half. Hoping to get back to posting regularly soon! Hope each of you has an awesome day! A beautiful bouquet made by a friend

This was the question for the week in our music channel.

Peace at last, the noise died down.

Gloam turns to gloom
The sunset

And a bit late

shrill the bagpipes skirled in tunes

Morning pauses at the edge of the trees,
dew clinging to grass like unspoken hope.
The forest keeps a held breath,
light waiting on the leaves
to decide how softly
it will arrive.

Make a plan - but tomorrow!

Meant to do this yesterday!

She drifts out of shadow,
a face made of breath and green-tinted light,
half remembered,
half still dreaming herself into being.

Her eyes carry storms
that have already passed,
and a quiet that has not yet learned how to speak.

Open iron gates leading to an ominous walled pathway. The stone gateposts have signs for catacombs and cosy cats childcare.

We stopped in this bustling place.
Full of people.
But no children. At all.

"Where are the children?" we asked.

"Ah, you'll find them in the catacombs. When I say find, they went in but never came out."

This is so lovely!!

Mother Giving me space and support to Embark on my own journey, Not just following in your wake. Teaching me as I blaze my own trail, Loving me when I get things wrong. Experience learned through every mistake.

I love the wedge shape of this!

Today, I asked the Cafe what do they keep near by that brings them comfort? The answers were so amazing, so cafe, so us. We had squishmallows, stones, books, pets, stuffies. So now I turn the question to all of you, what do you keep by that brings you comfort?

Today's painting...I am a survivor 💛

Question of the day:

What brings you comfort?

Meet Gary and baby Gabby. My stuffies I sleep with every night

or my sister, Lisa. @poetrylvr81.bsky.social
A quiet place of roots and blossoms —
where love keeps watch and you are always safe.

Completely blank white page in my spiral-bound watercolour sketchbook. Or my next work-in-progress....

If poetic licence is describing things the way you want them to be not how they actually are.

And if artistic licence is the same but visually rather than verbally.

Then #abstraction is leaving out details for the message.

Perhaps I went too far?

Morning wakes in color
A butterfly learns the sky
Sun laughs with the flowers

this is a chill, good vibes place to hang out and be creative < 3

"Where the Land Softens"

A place where the hills breathe and the sky holds its quiet weight. This landscape is less about the view and more about the feeling — a soft, familiar presence, waiting.

Hmm it should. But here it is

After 30 years, I’m returning to painting—this time, digitally. "Out To Sea" is my first piece in decades, created with Adobe Fresco. It feels amazing to rediscover the joy of creating art. 🌟

#TheCommunityCafe #Painting #DigitalArt #Art

Writing and poetry have always been my go-to form of expression. But today, I fell in love with art all over again. It's been years since I've painted. This piece feels like a new chapter in my creative journey.

Stars

The stars, in their infinite wisdom,
call my name—
light crossing the sky
as they play gently with the moon.

And I,
caught in their soft knowing,
stand still,
learning what it means
to be small
and unafraid.
