Lyn's a Witchy Woman

In response to "Memories"

Wow, this is an interesting read. You were very fortunate to have exposure to art. I hope you're still painting.

In response to "My Take"

Love this!
Your muse is literarily enjoyable and amusing. A rare find, I have to say.
Then, I, too, learned to cook after I was married, thanks to my mother-in-law. Before, I wasn't even allowed into the kitchen. Later, I didn't burn any house down but I might probably have come close to it, but my goof-ups weren't enough for severe burns. I can now cook just about anything.

In response to "THE FOUR LAWS OF A SHAMAN "

What beautiful and inspiring words! Thank you for sharing! However, be sure to also share where you got this from as I ran it through a plagiarism checker and you know what I found.

I'm not saying not to post things like that. It's a very meaningful thing to write. I'm just saying to be sure you post where it came from originally, even if you added some of your own and/or had AI write a good bit of it for you (which should also be mentioned). And, naturally, be sure not to enter things like this into contests.

Anyway, thank you for sharing this! I hope you post it on the Newsfeed (with a disclaimer, of course). It may help someone in need.

In response to "The Burning House"

I needed this a few days ago, yesterday, and already this morning. Thank you for it. For no particular reason I clicked on Blogging. My entry is good also. It is right below yours.

In response to "The Principle of Abundance"

I need to be reminded of this "This story is all about life. It teaches us that We must GIVE before We can RECEIVE Abundantly." when I write a poem for/about someone. My meagre words may have meanings even I don't recognise.

Recently, Rosemary thanked me for a poem I wrote for her years ago. And then within 24 hours I received a review for it here (after years of few views and no reviews).

Rosemary for memory

A short poem for Rosemary Sinniger from 2011
#2170648 by Kåre Enga in Montana

Is it a great poem? That only matters to Rosemary and the few who have read it.

I gave without expecting anything in return.

In response to "THE FACE OF THE STATUE OF LIBERTY"

I did not know this. Thank you. Men matter in American history. Women? Not so much. Their stories didn't always make the history books.

In response to "Creator of the universe"

No life is perfect but happiness comes to those who can be grateful for what they have and can let go of the rest.

Memories

It is easy to forget now, how effervescent and free we all felt that summer when we were young.” -Anna Godbersen

Let this quote inspire your entry.

Parasol , Agrigento , La Scala di Turki and the lovely Sicilian Sun :

I love things .. random things off random places .. even things that I have come across in paintings . I was in middle school and art was one the subjects that I was passionately in love with . Though there were art lessons in school and our art teacher being the most timidest of humans decided we were better off learning art on our own . Which looking back … I felt was quite the best thing she could do .. Art classes were fun , as we dabbled in paintings , colors and crafts we talked a whole lot .. movies , places , films , boys and off course rock stars . Our universe was not limited to any confines and it was here I did most of my dreaming ..
But , Art lessons in my house was different .. my art tutor being quite a celebrated artist decidedly knew that I had to know techniques, history of art and the great masters . It was then I had my first encounter with Monet and one of his most celebrated painting -Woman with a Parasol . I simply loved this painting .. the translucent sensuality of Monet’s style even in the thick brush strokes that defined the Impressionist style made quite an impact with me .
My Art master ..to induct me into learning various techniques had me copy that great work . I remember being nervous and edgy but when you are young .. you are most impressionable..nothing matters much !you learn to let go of your inhibitions and limitations and plunge right in .
I finally finished the work and .. though it cannot be anyway near, as it can’t be .. cause there can only be one Claude Monet ! But .. my cousin who had quite an eye for art and art objects purchased the painting! It was the first I would sell of my art work .. though I was happy to give it as a present he insisted on paying for the work . Well what can I say .. even cheaper copies of Monet still sell as well as the original themselves !!!
Yes coming back to Agrigento.. years later I find myself in the Sun soaked land of Sicily among the almond , olive trees and Hellenic ruins .. I found the Sun so hot that a refuge in the nearby tourist shop let me to find the very same object I was looking for since a very long time ago .. a Parasol .. the Parasol in Monet ‘s painting .. the one I had painted years back !
Happy with my purchase and equally happy to be off again in the Sun I charged myself on exploring the beautiful ruins and posing in very many pictures .
The beautiful cascading Marl cliffs of Scala dei Turki made an excellent backdrop for me with my treasured Parasol ! What are we humans … if we cannot hold on to our memories and Parasol !
