…completely different.

After all the excitement about the release of FEATURING magazine
I spend the weekend with my mom at the poetry festival in Landgraaf.
It was nice to be away from the computer, talk with my mom and the
other poets (I know most of them from former meetings), take a long
walk in the Limburg hills and listen to poetry.

Being away for the weekend means that I didn’t manage to finish my
weekly page in the Chronicles (I hope to work on it this afternoon)
but I have something else to show… ’cause I’ve been working on some
small ‘ in between works’ and I haven’t showed you those pieces yet.

I missed last week’s ‘Haiku my heart’ because I was in Zeeland -
but I will make it up to you with three* haiku’s.
All of them inspired by the item I bought last Friday…

(*plus one bonus haiku just for today!)

You will also find art journal pages in this post.
See – there’s something for everyone! Enjoy!

This week, I found something back that I’d thought was gone: to be lost
in a story. The last days,  I found myself in another time and another country,
far away from here. Now and then I woke up as if from a trance, because there
was coffee to be poured, or food that had to be  cooked  – but I was only half
in this world. In my mind, I galloped with daring knights or I sailed on a boat
on a lake where – behind the mists – Avalon waited for me.

I was Druid, Goddess, Knight and Minstrel.
Sorry dear ones, I wasn’t in this world.
I sat in the Spring sun and I read.
I got a tan without noticing it, and I found a long-lost treasure:
to travel to other times and places and be gone from this world.

I am back to the one I once was – a reader.
Reading was a big part of me that I had lost and now it’s back
and I feel complete again!

Here’s the evildoer:

Don’t be afraid – I have not forgotten you.
I left my book downstairs on the table.
It’s Friday, and as a faithful and brave knight – I won’t forsake you.
Here are some list-pages!

Freewheelin’ Friday, and freewheelin’ it is!
Next week, I will be busy working again but this last week I just ‘freewheeled’
a lot, playing with my ‘A Year in the Life of an Art Journal’, having fun with
the ladies in my workshop and practising my drawing skills… which aren’t
good enough to publish in this post, but I have some other things to show you…
