flowers and leaves
in light wind
and sun . . .
new beginnings
at any age
My pace is slower now, older now. Some life chapters are well in the past, and yet creativity renews, with care and time. I have known an academic career in education, chronic illness, caregiving, volunteer work, and the history we all share. Grateful.
By God’s grace, and help from many people, my art grows through difficult times. I look for beauty every day. And some days I simply need to rest. My goal with my blogs is to offer hope. Thank you. Ellen Grace Olinger

Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.

early June morning
pelicans fly over the water
a deer walks through the yard
new carnations
in an old glass vase
by the window
poinsettia and lily plants
placed by the back patio door
only yesterday
and still in the house
new green
on evergreen branches
an image loved for years
the small new growth
and lilacs bloom
