  2. Moon Drops – India – The journey of my life had started in the industrial town of Durgapur, West Bengal, India. It has, over the years, made umpteen stops in diverse geographies - be it the softness of the Gangetic plains, the sabulous wilderness of the land of Maharajas, a sleepy town along the savannas in a Himalayan valley or the land of the Zulus. The places, the people and their culture enriched me imperceptibly but surely. Like the wide-eyed little girl who once ran through the paddy field to see the train passing by whistling, I remain amazed to see the wonderful world, the beauty of its nature and the mankind in its motley shades, through my awed vision , and depict the same through my poems, stories and paintings. And yes, soulful music has been my lifelong companion and vent to my emotions.  I have self-published a poetry book titled 'Unfinished' from Durban, South Africa. One of my poems, 'Grains of Salt', was published in a South African anthology 'Poems for Haiti'. My oeuvres have been published in various anthologies viz., Paradise on Earth: Vols. l & II, Ferring Love, Glomag etc.  I am a multilingual writer: many of my poems in vernacular Bengali language have been published online and in local magazines / anthologies . I am also a painter and a jewellery designer and has keen interest in music and art in general. I am available at following social media handles: FB: @moon.drops.773 INSTA: @moondrops_2020 Email: kakolimajumdarghosh@gmail.com

  4. Gretchen Del Rio – Crestline, California, USA – I first discovered the magic of water based colors when many years ago I began to paint with procion dyes on silk. I loved the unexpected quality of the process. It was so exciting to never be sure what the colors and water would combine to produce. It seemed as though the medium had its own passion. Painting with watercolors and paper is much the same. I love the color combinations and separations that occur spontaneously as the color floats on the water. You can never totally predict what effect will result. If you try to control the medium too much, your painting will be very tight losing its aliveness. The artist must be bold and decisive or the work will not be clear and fresh. It is really like a dance. It becomes a controlled folly in knowing when to let go and when to take charge of the direction that the painting is taking. The images that I paint reflect my emotions and are expression of my life experience. They are not extensively planned, but rather evolve as the painting progresses. I am always surprised by the end result since it comes into being because of what the medium and emotion has suggested. The paintings are from my heart and I always fall in love with the subject. I believe that we are all connected and, if an image touches you, it is because we all have the same heart even though our paths may be different. Most of all, painting what I paint makes me happy. The paintings are my own path unfolding. They are an opening door for me and contain my own passion for life.

    Beautiful autumn landscape with the growing spaciousness from the dying of forms. Nature tells all. As an artist I ask the space to complete the image.

  8. clcouch123 – I prefer Christopher in conversation. In writing, I use C L Couch because it’s a genderless form of my name and, frankly, easier—I have severe writer’s cramp. I mean to be a poet writing spiritual and occasional verse. The photographs used permanently here—for the banner, for my profile—were taken by Debra Danielson, a photographer and friend. You may enjoy more of her work at debra.danielson.org. If you would credit me when quoting my work, I'd be thankful. As I am thankful for your presence here.

    The image and the text work especially effectively, together.

  10. Cynthia Guenther Richardson – Pacific NW – Hello fellow readers and bloggers, Writing has always been a powerful connector to diverse ideas and people. We each are a meaningful part of this beautiful, ever-widening web of life. Blogging enables more interaction, which I love even after 11 years of blogging posts on three different sites. For thirty years I was an addictions/mental health counselor and also a manager of home care services for elderly folks. Now that I have hit 70 and am more devoted to a creative life! I've published online or in literary journals/collections several times, including fiction and creative non-fiction pieces and poetry over five decades. Additionally, I was nominated for a Pushcart Prize for an excerpt of my novel-in-progress, Other than Words (the work gathering dust at present), about a mute dancer and her impact on her adopted community and a world-travelling photojournalist. I also am working on a connected set of stories about a close-knit town in northern Michigan. On Wordpress I enjoy writing about living richly despite (or because of) life's setbacks and a diagnosis of heart disease at age 51. Posts tagged "memoir" share spiritual adventures, interactions with nature, the healing of trauma's impact and challenges of writing full-time. Short stories and creative nonfiction, and poetry are favorite genres but I enjoy sharing my photography as well My hope is my offerings reflect a profound faith in God and our humanness which cloaks spiritual natures. I include myself as part of the diverse group of writers who discover and share the illuminating, positive experiences amid life's uncertainties and hardships. Let me hear from you when you visit--I appreciate your comments a great deal. Blessings and regards, Cynthia
