		<description><![CDATA[
Summer seems to be quickly coming to a close, the light is changing, school is starting and everything seems to gain more of a structure as that happens.  This summer has been unusual and I have not been able to paint like usual.  Our house is on the market, and so we are constantly facing [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=marabethquin.wordpress.com&blog=4350892&post=126&subd=marabethquin&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>on Being</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
 
Nothing affects me like nature.  Nothing. 
I never knew about my connection with the earth until about fifteen years ago when, badly needing sanity and stability, I stumbled upon it, and I haven&#8217;t let go of it since.  There is a rhythm, a sort of current that pulls you in the direction you always intended, but I had never [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=marabethquin.wordpress.com&blog=4350892&post=115&subd=marabethquin&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Contemplating Happiness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Happiness is&#8230;.
I&#8217;m guessing that if you got 10 people to finish the sentence above, you would likely get as many different ideas.  The concept of  happiness has been one of continual evolution in my life.    It has only been recently that I have realized my conflicted feelings on this subject, no doubt resulting from harboring [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=marabethquin.wordpress.com&blog=4350892&post=103&subd=marabethquin&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

These were the words uttered in desperation by the main character Orlando (played by Tilda Swinton) in the movie of the same name as she flung herself facedown onto the ground.  The spirit of the age had finally taken her and broken her, as [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=marabethquin.wordpress.com&blog=4350892&post=95&subd=marabethquin&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Vibrations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been reading so much lately about vibration.  My concept of vibration in the past has mostly been limited to things that I could witness with the naked eye or with my sense of touch: my washing machine out of kilter, coming to life and creeping across the floor, my phone when it is set on &#8216;vibrate&#8217; [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=marabethquin.wordpress.com&blog=4350892&post=85&subd=marabethquin&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Three Reflections</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
The older I get, the more I realize that there are different ways that I look at things, sometimes incongruent with the others, and sometimes going on simultaneously, giving life a rather schizophrenic feel.  Of course, I have developed a particular favortism for some of these perspectives and have been attempting to see the world through the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=marabethquin.wordpress.com&blog=4350892&post=79&subd=marabethquin&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The way of water</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
I have discovered that you can group people into one of two categories&#8211;those that literally &#8216;change&#8217; when they are around water, and those that are unaffected by it.  I am in the first of those categories and I plan on living near some body of water someday because I am a water person; to see [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=marabethquin.wordpress.com&blog=4350892&post=73&subd=marabethquin&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Predacious Duality
Earilier in the summer, there was a juried art contest that I was wanting to enter, and now I can&#8217;t even remember the subject matter, but this is the painting that flashed into my imagination.  I didn&#8217;t get it done in time for the contest, but the impetus for the contest was all I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=marabethquin.wordpress.com&blog=4350892&post=57&subd=marabethquin&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Learning Mahalo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
So I finally got my three paintings done that inspired my last post about wanting to turn back.  I finished them by sticking to the very simple idea of just continuing on until the paintings tell me they are done.  No matter how many times I fear that point will never come, it always does; [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=marabethquin.wordpress.com&blog=4350892&post=51&subd=marabethquin&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
