yellow, the solar plexus chakra

Defining oneself
By yellow--fire element--
Heat and light or fear?

the color palette


The color palette
Of flowers reflects light to
Create subtle change.

flowers of summer


Flowers of summer,
Visibly too lush, welcome
Droplets of water.

the wind / apple blossom / bleeding heart


Here the winds blows west ~ Fire, scorched, parched, hot to burning ~ Still a flower grows.



It's cherry pink and ~ Apple blossom at twilight ~ The breeze just wavers.



My heart is bleeding ~ In pulsing red-pink drops, out ~ On a line to dry.

feng shui - kitchen


My kitchen is located in the extreme northwest corner of my home. This position corresponds to the number six and represents leadership, achievement, and helpful friends. It is assoociated with the head of the household and autumn. Its element is strong metal (all those appliances!), and its colors are white, gold, silver, and gray.

Look for the Daffodil

Every now and again take a good look at something
not made with hands--
a mountain, a star, the turn of a stream.
There will come to you wisdom and patience
and solace and, above all,
the assurance that you are not alone in the world.

~poem by Sidney Lovett

2) Spring - creativity (orange)


2) Spring - creativity (orange)

Delirious on the crest of a wave,
Gliding in the midst of a cool, delicious current,
I luxuriate in a soft lofty breeze.
I smile. I laugh. I delight in my own renewal.

The renaissance which is spring
Cleanses the rigidity of winter:
Trees and flowers unfurl buds and leaves
Wearing the orange of creativity.
