It has been wonderful to share art and thoughts and words across the miles and the languages - i always hope I have left comments in the right place - and to see what we each do far far away from each other, we still sneak peeks into the studio. Yay.

How fortune are we to live in world of connection in this way, where the meeting in person is the exception and yet the ties that bind and hold us all are those of kindred spirits. One of my favourite things is the way you add words to my words - you find brilliant quotes that speak eloquently and pertinently to the something brother Iw as trying to explore or express - you add much to my pondering! Hopefully we shall meet again somewhere; but in-between times we meet at the well by the blog...go well FFiona Dempsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275413906419343228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-57750121774329655942019-06-23T17:27:19.802+10:002019-06-23T17:27:19.802+10:00hi liz, thank you for your lovely thoughts...it ha...hi liz, thank you for your lovely thoughts...it has been one of the joys of the interweb a and the blogging world that hearts and minds and kindred spirits can ind each other across the miles...it has been so enriching to 'meet' you this way! I still think blogging is like the slow food movement - it takes more time and goes deeper than drive thru takeaway, and yet I understand why folk have moved to a world of Instagram and photos not much text. Your writing and thinking has always been so valuable to ponder, to read and to better understand, and I am so glad you have found a permanent and safe place for your blog and words, and hope that we can continue to chat across the miles...go well F Fiona Dempsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275413906419343228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-42343794457225741342019-06-21T03:25:25.607+10:002019-06-21T03:25:25.607+10:00congratulations on your 10th blogging anniversary ...congratulations on your 10th blogging anniversary !

The synchronicity of your art and writing with that of Rustnstuff is of a piece ... of a peace<br /><br />It's hard to single out but one "lovely moment of kindness" that I have experienced, but it's easy to single out the source: you yourself<br /><br />So I followed your "Peace" label ... scrolling through years of your artful offerings to the world ... the most recent five years so familiar, the earlier years (before I found my way here) a trove yet to be explored<br /><br />Our home has been graced by "too many poppies too many deaths" and "imagine peace" and "let peace be a conversation" and "keep on believing" ... more importantly, my own way of going in the world continues to be inspired by your generous example and thoughtful encouragement ... in short, by your incredible kindness <br /><br />Thank you for that inspiration and for your faithful presence here ... long may you continue to write and create ...Liz Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03397660873950991774noreply@blogger.com
