GRACE and SERENITY
By T Marie Mason-Nolan (DC Urban Pixie)

Today I was thinking, today I was observing
The people, the sounds, the office, my surroundings
In my personal musings, I pointed
I pointed to people places and things and in this moment a phrase 

A phrase repeated itself over and over
"I am that, I am"
I pointed to the sidewalk, to a child, to a tree
And in that moment I pondered over the beautiful God or higher being 
that made me
I realized there was no above and below
But rather an inside, outside, and all around.
It was then another phrase burst through to my conscious from my subconscious
"I found God in myself, and I loved her, I loved her fiercely."

These words may not mean much to you 
But as for me, they mean everything
They help me to realize the beauty in myself and all that surrounds me
They help me reach a state of grace
A state of....Serenity

and so I share another poem today from "For Colored Girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf"

Enjoy and leave your thoughts.



A Laying on of Hands 
from "for colored girls who have considered suicide | when the rainbow is enuf"
by Ntozake Shange

i waz missing somethin
somethin so important
somethin promised
a layin on of hands
fingers near my forehead
strong
cool
movin
makin me whole
sense pure
all the gods comin into me
layin me open to myself
i waz missing somethin
somethin promised
somethin free
a layin on of hands
i know bout/layin on bodies/layin outta man
bringin him alla my fleshy self & some of my pleasure
bein taken full eager wet like i get sometimes
i waz missing somethin
a layin on of hands
not a man
layin on
not my mama/holdin me tight/sayin
i'm laways gonna be her girl
not a layin on of bosom and womb
a layin on of hands
the holiness of myself released

i sat up one nite walkin a boardin house
screamin/cryin/the ghost of another woman
who waz missin what i waz missin
i wanted to jump up outta my bones
& be done wit myself
leave me alone
& go on in the wind
it waz too much
i fell into a numbness
til the only tree i cd see
took me up in her branches
held me in the breeze
made me dawn dew
that chill at daybreak
the sun wrapped me up swingin rose light everywhere
the sky laid over me like a million men
i waz cold/i waz burnin up/a child
& endlessly weavin garments for the moon
wit my tears
i found god in myself
& i loved her/i loved her fiercely

What I do with days off! ^_^

Calm Beautiful Chaos

 Newest.
Acrylic to 16X20 Canvas

As evident, this one is inspired by my napkin art. I listened to Eric Benet's song "News for You" while painting it.

I call it Calm Beautiful Chaos.

FINALLY! Painted the cover to my sketch book.

FINALLY painted it. Will eventually post some of the sketches. I don't feel they're worthy of publication JUST yet because I had stopped doing sketching for a while so, I'm getting back into the practice. Lot's of pages to fill but I like how the cover came out! I squeal with excessive amounts of Joy. Also...if you didn't notice I'm in some sort of weird pink phase. ;)

Love them Anyway...

  

  
A couple of lessons I have learned about people: 
1. Insecure people will work double time to try to make you feel just as insecure as they are, but love them anyway. 
2. A person who has no problem hurting themselves, won't have any problem hurting you, love them anyway.
3. So many people will tell you that you can't do something because they feel in themselves that they can't, keep doing you and love them anyway. 
4. The most sensitive people often have the biggest walls. I have realized walls are for cowards, open hearts are for the brave.
Welcome to Day 2 of 2013. Make the most of it, it is a page of a chapter of the book of your life. Have a good day everyone! ^_^

The Blue Lady

The blue lady was born on a day in which I found myself in a state of melancholic limbo. i was trying to release my negativity and focus on something more positve and therapeautic. As I painted, it was as if she leached the sadness out of my body and took it into herself as she took form on my canvas.

The Blue Lady.

Labor of love

Just realized that my hand cast a shadow on it when I too the photo. Will retake and repost eventually.

Wishful Thinking

Suppose it was just wishful thinking
Suppose it was just a dream
Suppose it was just a reality
Suppose it was just my imagination

What ever it was supposed to be...I am thankful for it nonetheless...

Let me know what you all think!
