The Glory of Love


Please listen to the music on youtube.


Beautiful faces

have them

via




via




via

special spaces 

are adorned 

  with them



via



via



via



as well as 

objects 

of great interest



via



via


and intrigue.


via


CRACKS

are like the worn rhythm




via


of poetry



via


for they sing

the story 

and tell






And of all the pages


upon which they are inscribed


via




it is through 

the human heart

where 

 eroded dreams issue out 

the  most lyrical 

of harmonies

because


 

Embrace the light

because it

could be the greatest story

you'll ever tell.



THANK YOU DEBBY STEELE

for the new blog design!

  1. Glorious! Love the new header, and the message . Beautiful faces, indeed! Do you know the book, WISE WOMEN? And another one, SANTA FE ORIGINALS? I think you would appreciate the photos in both of these books.

  11. Hi sweet friend...I finally made it over here...it has been one crazy week with school prep happening. I have missed you so much. Once the first week is behind me I am hoping things will be back to normal. Will you be in much this year? I guess it just depends.Hugs and love for a great weekend and......
    Lets embrace those smile lines of ours...

  12. I'm feeling better each week Anita and the lbs are falling off faster than I can believe.It's truly a wonder.My kids are in amazement.Thank you for asking Friend.

  13. I wish our society
    {and media} would
    view wrinkles in the
    same beautiful way
    that you have expressed
    here, Anita! I guess
    it should start with
    us as we guide the
    young 'uns around us.

    Have a lovely weekend!
    Looks like it's going to
    be a great last hurrah
    of summer.....

  14. You new blog arrangment looks great Anita.
    Great post...about beauty.
    I loved the faces the most...such storys written in those eyes, and lines of the face.

    I always have thought the the OLD creamic dolls they used to make had the most gorgeous little lips and teeth. I love them still.

    I will try and look for beauty today. And every day.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Ahhh...the light...you know how much I love it. You have shared it beautifully here, my friend. You always do.
    I really loved this from beginning to end, including the divine Miss M's video who is one of my favorite singers, and this is one of my favorite movies AND songs.
    Love the first image of that golden yellow dress too.
    Shine on, love.
    XOXO's,

  18. Anita, I LOVE what you and Debby have done to your blog. The images are wonderful and when mixed with your poetic wisdom tell us all a story that needs to be told. It is not in perfection but through our brokenness that others can be drawn to that one good thing that resides inside us all. Thanks for reminding us that those cracks are a way to shine. I love what you stir inside by your words!!! Have a much blessed day, Lisa

  23. Anita, It's the light that's important, not the cracks it comes through. But, they ARE needed to let the light out.

    I love your new blog design. And as usual, your words are comforting and stirring.

    Have a great weekend! Hope you're not sad about not going back to school! God has wonderful things planned for you! Just watch!

  36. Anita,
    I designed my own blog and have done Kim at white whispers and Kim's Bella Rustica's and others...I am getting the bug to recreate something new and soulful for my blog site.
    I am working on a web catalog now,
    I will be over soon to visit you and your grey, and the grey of your studio where everything is possible when you sit and listen to what the room tells you to create...

I've been taking photos, editing all the time. Lately I have volunteered to work one day at the office in church a week, too. I love to do that!!! Now I have had a little break from photo sessions, but this week it's time again. Can't wait! Have a lovely day!!!!

  48. Oh, I love this, Anita. There is so much beauty in this post...from the old age, the stories we tell, and even from a broken heart. You have such an eloquent way to tell something. I wanted you to know that me and the girls think the world of you. You have become an inspiration in our lives, a lovely soul filled with love. I'm not sure if you know how much you touch all your readers.

    Oh, and the picture of the old woman with the chipped teeth is PRICELESS. Have a nice weekend doing what you do best, brightening the days of others.

    Your new blog design is wonderful, and oh, that little girl speaks to my heart.

  53. Your blog looks beautiful! Thank you for including my blog in your sidebar!

    This post is so hopeful. Beauty coming from brokenness makes disappointment not seem so formidable. I hadn't thought of that lately, but I felt a little leap of faith when I read your post. Thank you for the reminder!

    I hope your holiday weekend will be splendid!

  57. Dearest Anita,
    I really enjoyed this post, and I like the new format too. Poetically and philosophically my favorite line here is: cracks are like the worn rhythm of poetry. Well I must be a great poet because I've got plenty of cracks in my life. I wish the best for you, love, as you continue to seek your growth in art and poetry and spirit.

    Love
    Ruben

    I so love Bette...so did my mom.
    A few years ago for her birthday, I gave her tickets to see the Divine Miss M in concert. She was in the second row, and she said Bette kept looking at her as she sang! I am so happy that she had a chance to experience such a blissful and magical time. Thank you for that special memory, dear friend.
    Love and bisous to you,

    The power of love is unbelievable! It has no limits.

    How are you my dear? It looks like you are creating and having a wonderful time. I'm so happy for you.

    I will be seeing through new eyes starting tomorrow. I'm having surgery on the first eye then the second in a week. I will be able to see without glasses for the first time since 3rd grade!! I am so thrilled!

    What a wonderful post- amazing images!!!!!
    How has your holiday weekend been?
    My parents were visiting; we had a wonderful time!!!!
    On Friday- we had reservations for dinner; the weather turned ugly & a tornado watch due to the remnants of Hurricane Issac hitting our area. We rescheduled dinner for Saturday.
    My mom & I watched the movie "In Time" while it was pouring rain here for 24 hours....
    Hope you had a great weekend!!!!

  73. I wanted to visit sooner but my oh my, life is so very busy with taking care of my lovely boys. How are you? This post makes me so very happy and AGAIN, I am in love with your header. Are your images bigger too? Something else seems different and I Love that too! I am not sure if you redesigned the blog? I am enjoying not going to work and really would probably have to resign if I hadn't anyway. With the hubby being gone, it's very difficult to find time for much else while being Mommy. I am not complaining, though... I hope you have a wonderful week filled with lots of love. XX

  82. Hello Anita!!!

    This is such a great post! And so timely, because just recently I am noticing the wrinkles more and more on my face. SERIOUSLY!!! haha...

    Oh, I haven't been on the computer a whole lot these past several days so I didn't see THIS post! How nice to see you are back. We had a nice LONG relaxing weekend. Rob took Friday off, so he was off for 4 days in a row. It finally felt like a REAL weekend. You know what I mean...2 days just go by waaaay too fast!

    I'm so glad you got the package. Thanks for letting me know. :)

    Those aging faces are marvelous. So important to age gracefully, isn't it?
    (although my mother nagged me for years to color my white hair which I had by the time I was 35...I finally did it. My one act of NOT aging gracefully)
    Are you missing the start of the school year? I bet not. :)

    So nice to hear that you are having sunny weather still. And what a wonderful feeling it must have been to not have to feel the pressures as a full time teacher this week. I bet you felt like you were playing hooky, huh? haha...

    This week is going by so fast. I can't believe it's almost the weekend again. Yahoo!!!

    Have a lovely evening.

  94. Sometimes I feel like the cracked angel in your banner...stress cracks, but still an angel in disguise. I think of the angel who 'troubled' the waters in the pool in ancient times, and the first one to dip into the pool was healed. There are so many broken hearts, but there is ONE heart healer...may we all run to HIM when our need is the greatest. I guess we can all be angels who 'trouble' the waters of people's lives, leaving an indelible print upon their thoughts, making it so they will never be the same again, after having crossed the path of a believer. This is why I am here...to SPREAD THE LIGHT!
    BLESS YOU FOR THIS POST
