OUT OF TOWN

Good day, my friends.
I just wanted to post a message to let you know I am out of town and will be updating my Blog late Sunday or early Monday. It always saddens me to go to someone's Blog and find nothing posted for a long period of time ~ and here I am guilty of just that. Life does get in the way of Blogging sometimes, doesn't it?
I am in Virginia painting walls in preparation for our move back here into our dream home. Once back in SC, I will be heavy into packing as much as I can in order to get this move underway. I am SO excited to move back. More on this another time. Just know that my art and my Blogging is suffering because there is so much to get done for the move.
Please don't give up on me. In time, I will be posting many pictures of the beauty of Virginia, and my thoughts on the same. The Fall season is outstanding here ~ I almost can't wait. But, Spring too, brings much beauty to the Roanoke Valley!! I will definitely share that beauty with you.
Back to the wall painting..........
Have a joyful day!!!!
Audrey

I AM A "SEARCHER"

"I am one of the searchers. There are, I believe, millions of us. We are not unhappy, but neither are we really content. We continue to explore life, hoping to uncover its ultimate secret. We continue to explore ourselves, hoping to understand. We like to walk along the beach, we are drawn by the ocean, taken by its power, its unceasing motion, its mystery and unspeakable beauty. We like forests and mountains, deserts and hidden rivers, and the lonely cities as well. Our sadness is as much a part of our lives as is our laughter. To share our sadness with one we love is perhaps as great a joy as we can know - unless it be to share our laughter. We searchers are ambitious only for life itself, for everything beautiful it can provide. Most of all we love and want to be loved. We want to live in a relationship that will not impede our wandering, nor prevent our search, nor lock us in prison walls; that will take us for what little we have to give. We do not want to prove ourselves to another or compete for love.

For wanderers, dreamers, and lovers, for lonely men and women who dare to ask of life everything good and beautiful. It is for those who are too gentle to live among wolves."

I am THE LOVERS Tarot Card

Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse. THE LOVERS represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made. Originally, this card was just called LOVE. And that's acually more apt than "LOVERS." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that you have or will come across a person, a career, challenge, or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.
