Good Morning -

It's been a close loop of blog, Virgen, blog and I'm ready to get my schedule back such that blogging is morning and Virgens are night.

This Virgen was made after I wrote last night's blog and directly before I headed off to dream time.

We know the struggles I've been having trying to approach the Virgens with a specific idea in mind. I was in no energy level last night to mess around with flipping through tens of magazines, so I went with gut.

I chose my most recent mag (the same one that gave the great Diversity image a la an ad for a new hotel in Vegas. I get so many miles out of those Vegas ads...) and flipped quickly.

I remembered a butterfly image from when I made the Diversity tile and was going to just go with that - because what home doesn't need that transformation energy in it? - when I saw this picture.

It was a full page ad, so you really got a sense of the snowy route. I think it's an ad for Subaru, but the car is not (or barely) shown. I don't remember (so bad ad, good art) - but was pulled full into the image of a snowy road lined with snow covered trees.

I need scenes like this around my home. I need for there to be undeveloped spots that will never turn into ticky-tack homes or strip malls or giant malls or any of the like. I want to have a back roads route to my home that involves scenes like this. I want to be able to walk this route without constantly getting pushed over by the car after car driving down it.

And in return, I will work to make sure it stays a back road route. I will walk it and love it and spread the peace I feel from it throughout my community.

Here's to that. Here's to walks through the back woods and the peace they bring. Here's to spreading that peace to all you meet.
