“There is something delicious about writing the first words of a story. You never quite know where they’ll take you.”

-Beatrix Potter-

. . . Here’s a drawing of where the words have taken my story. Savoring the possibilities. Thank you for letting me share my creative process with you. Hope you’re having a delightful weekend. . .

“I ask not for any crown

But that which all may win;

Nor try to conquer any world

Except the one within.”

“Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influence of the earth.”

-Henry David Thoreau-

. . . The changing seasons influence my artwork. A sunset observed a few days ago inspired me to create this tree silhouette. It will become an illustration inside Volume Two and the original is for sale. Still need to add small butterflies. Thank you for letting me share my creative process with you. Grateful for your interest and support. . .

PERSPECTIVE MONDAY

July 30, 2019 Cynthia Tosh

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”

-Rainer Maria Rilke-
