Fusing Glass Triangles

These stellar fusing glass triangles are an expression of the heart songs living within each woman in the Healing Arts Circle at the Center for Wisdom's Women. There is also a powerfully loving felt collage at the end.

A Fire That Cannot Be Ignored

 A Fire That Cannot Be Ignored

A fire that cannot be ignored;

The flame in your eye

burns through the sham... 

Creating patterns out of chaos,

cooled by spring water

but never extinguished.

Your pomegranate eye 

cradles the seed of darkness

until it bursts with light.

Healing Felt Collages and Wooden Plaques

Healing Felt Collages and Wooden Plaques made by the awe-inspiring women in the Healing Arts Circle at the Center for Wisdom's Women. The gorgeous felt was generously donated by Khaila Noel's Grandmother, Cyndi Black. The felt collages express places of comfort and the journey to get to these places. The wooden plaques express inclusion of the whole self: body, heart, soul, mind and spirit.

Something to love

Yellow Warbler

 Something to love

 

In each moment...

there is something to love

When the wind lifts your feathers

When there is lichen

to dig your claws into

 

In each moment...

there is something to love

When you see Great Crested Fly Catchers

building a nest

or a White Egret stretched out in flight

 

In each moment...

there is something to love

For Rob

Black Capped Chickadee

For Rob

Looking back

I find it touching that being 6' 4" tall

your favorite bird was a small songbird,

the black-capped chickadee.

You loved babies and songbirds.

You loved playing with your baby daughter

and then baby granddaughter in your pool.

You introduced me to classical music,

my favorite genre to this day.

As you looked out over your white collar

your gaze, far reaching, was much like this black-capped chickadee.

Baptism

 Baptism 

Baptism by water

Big feet and little feet.

Parents at attention 

Love bonding them to each downy chick... 

Green grasses reflecting

bless their passage.

photopoem by akiba & maryam mermey



Canadian Geese with chicks

I wonder what you are feeling...

Nesting Loon

I wonder what you are feeling...

Are you feeling one with all of life...

Concerned about protecting your brood?

Is your Mother voice calling out?

What is the speck beneath your eye?

Are the green grasses and lake water

reminding you of dreams

nesting beneath

your warm body?

Peach Glow

 

Baltimore Oriel

Peach Glow

There's so much I know

that can't fit

into the notes

of a melody...

but lives in the stillness

of green leaves

and the peach glow

of my heart.

Each Feather

 

Each Feather

Each feather has a story

of places I've flown...

of food I've caught...

of times I've stood on one leg

until peace entered my heart.

And when I loose a feather

I hope someone will find it

and listen to the story.

PhotoPoem by Akiba & Maryam Mermey

 

Heron Taking Off

Pushing the Envelope

Yellow Rumped Warbler

Pushing the Envelope

Let's me know

what's inside...

A still, small voice

and always a song.
