Truly miss

Settling in. School has its ups and downs for sure, but mostly things are going pretty okay.
I've been doing some watercolors and plan to paint some canvases when I get my studio in order - which is really an excuse I guess haha. But I'm just liking aquarelles now, and I had planned a small exhibition at the church we live next to -called Water and Light - but I think the exhibit just got really tiny and I may only have space for the photos I printed on aluminum.. as we have a few dozen new neighbors at the church, refugees in temporary crisis shelter and it of course affects the church space as a whole. The official refugee centers are overflowing.

In case you are wondering what the handwritten text says, it's some random thoughts and basis for what I'm working on right now:

Dry land, scorched by the sun,
thirsts for rain.

For a moment the cold sprinkler water refreshes a child screaming for joy,
and the wilted grass.

The child names her cat Light.

My studio heats up too much, I say and pull the curtains over the windows.

Mommy, I'm afraid of the dark, the child says,
even though it's barely dusk.

Nothing to worry about, mommy is here.
Let's turn on the corridor light.

I am thirsty
Thirsty for God.




A song with English subtitles for you "Ikävä - Truly Miss".

I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart, for following my blog, though I have been posting so little.
I do have things I want to say, to talk about, pictures and words to share.. just send them out into the wold and pray they find whomever they were intended for.
