Where the Eagle Flies
Where the eagle flies, the beats of its strong wings send waves of freedom over me.
Where the eagle flies, its keen eyesight looks toward the future and telegraphs those visions of continued freedom to me.
Where the eagle flies, the pieces of history that have been woven into a flag of tattered dreams curl round me.
Those pieces of history, woven into a flag of tattered dreams,
they bring a flood of emotions to me.
They bring joy and sadness.
They bring pride and shame.
They bring hope and despair.
How can I not grasp for a tendril of that as the eagle flies over me?
Wherever you are, whatever your country, always grasp for the tendrils of life embodied in your flag. Celebrate the good, mourn the bad, and never forget that there can be both woven into the same piece of tattered fabric. A piece of fabric, as well as a piece of history, would never hold together if it had only the good threads running all in one direction or only the bad threads running all in one direction. . .it is when threads are woven into and out of one another that the fabric gains its strength.

I made this dragonfly faery before I got the new torch hooked up, so she's about a month old by now. I've been watching her flutter around the sculpture shelf all that time. I'll pick her up, start to take her picture or make her a base, and then put her down again. I like her wings. I don't like her wings. They're in proportion for her body. They're not in proportion for a dragonfly. I shouldn't have left the tweezer marks. The tweezer marks give the wings texture that's needed in the dark glass.
We're always second guessing ourselves, aren't we? Oh, I could write volumes about that, I think. Of course, those volumes would be so crampacked with convoluted ramblings that you wouldn't be able to read them, but I could write them ;)
Maybe, I'll try to write just a little about the tendency to second guess ourselves and how it can be a positive thing. How can all that back and forth, wishywashy stumbling be positive? I think if you listen to yourself when you're doing that wanna-nah, don't wanna conversation, you'll find that you aren't approaching the situation from the right direction. Maybe, you can't decide between heading North versus heading South simply because you really need to be turning East or West.
