Keep Your Promises.

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate, my sweet) i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of the tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or the mind can hide)
And this is the wonder that keeps the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

-E. E. Cummings

I have recently stumbled across this poem by E.E. Cummings. It is so simple, yet it says it all. It is beautiful and I cannot bring myself to stop repeating it.

So, "here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of the tree called life..." I am scared to death of taking the wrong step in my life and art. I am afraid that this is it. This is all it will ever be. I want more, but I am afraid of hurting you or afriad that I will not win your approval. I yearn for it and I do not want to disappoint. However, I am ready to say that no matter where I go or end up, "here is the deepest secret nobody knows...I carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)."

Moving on from all this sappy stuff. I made this promise not only to myself but others aswell that I was going to start a new sketch book, a drawing for everyday of the summer...HA! Yeahhh, that did not happen. I did not keep that promise. But I also promised myself I would start an offical blog and start an art journal. Both are accomplished.

So Life is good.
  • Emerald and Jesse's wedding was BEAUTIFUL! Photos I had taken turned out well.
  • Miss Michael Rose is AMAZING! She is so intelligent and just wonderful! It nearly broke my heart to leave her for the rest of the summer. I love neices.
  • I have some new staples for my wardrobe and my bridesmaid dress is in for April's wedding.
  • Mom and Dad are splendid.
  • On a much more sad and lonely note, my dog Blondie passed away at the end of May. R.I.P. Old faithful friend.

So Art is just getting started!

  • I just got back yesterday so I haven't even made it into studio yet.
  • I need to get a stretcher bar restretched.
  • I will finish building another set and get that one stretched.
  • GESSO!
  • Draw/PAINT!
  • Research/sketches.
  • Work on concept.
  • Oil Clay.

So I am just trying to catch my breath and get started. I have many more feelings and thoughts but for once I am keeping it all underwraps.

New concept for me, I know!

Keeping my promises,

-B
