Today's Earth Prayer

Over cherry blossoms

white clouds

over clouds

the deep sky

 

over cherry blossoms

over clouds

over the sky

I can climb on forever

 

once in spring

I with god

had a quiet talk.

I love this one.  I’ve actually been WAITING for spring to really be here so that I could post it. :)

 

Today I’m getting the bracelet around my wrist tat so that it doesn’t seem like the HUGEST tattoo ever.  And I know that given the size of some of my work, that statement sounds ridiculous, but this particular one is immediately visible – the others can be fairly easily hidden when needed…  In any event, I’m planning on a garland of oak leaves, acorns and white roses.  I did some research and found a gorgeous old rose that I want to use…a creamy white semi-double with vivid pink/red at the edges.  It’s a rose called Hebe’s Lip (probably because the buds are more red and when ready to open look like pursed lips).  I have pictures to show Koré.
