Gregor in Helena

May this be a day of new beginnings
the sun, like a fragrant apple; the summer air,
soft on your hands as the kiss of a child.
May berries melt like honey on your tongue.
….

May your heart rise in wonder
at the clouds drifting across the sky.
May the trails under your boots
be covered in pine quills,
let the leaves rain down
like memories
in the autumn of your heart.

May the snow beneath your skis
run as fast as watered silk,
may the cold air kiss your cheeks,
turn them red as summer’s roses.

 

May the rivers always flow
with their unexpected beauty,
the first freshets of snowmelt,
the rush of early spring. May you always walk in gladness
through whatever path or highway;
may you always walk within the golden circle of your love.

New Beginnings, Barbara Crooker

Katarina in Miloš

A moment of happiness,
you and I sitting on the verandah,
apparently two, but one in soul, you and I.


We feel the flowing water of life here,
you and I, with the garden’s beauty
and the birds singing.


The stars will be watching us,
and we will show them
what it is to be a thin crescent moon.


You and I unselfed, will be together,
indifferent to idle speculation, you and I.
The parrots of heaven will be cracking sugar
as we laugh together, you and I.

In one form upon this earth,
and in another form in a timeless sweet land.

Barbara in Peter

Sama sva na svetu – ti in jaz.
To je vedno tako, kadar ljubimo.

Povej mi dosti lepih besed, nabrati jih morava za vse življenje:
najina ljubezen je večna. To je vedno tako, kadar ljubimo.

V posteljo najinih dlani položiva svet, da se spočije, da se ogreje od najinega diha.
Ves svet je v najinih rokah, v najinih prepletenih prstih –
vedno je tako, kadar ljubimo.

Not sure if you know this but when we first met I got so nervous I couldn’t speak. 
In that very moment I found the one and my life had found its missing piece.

 

So as long as I live I love you will have and hold you. 
You look so beautiful in white. And from now til my very last breath this day I’ll cherish. 
You look so beautiful in white. Tonight.

What we have is timeless, my love is endless and with this ring I say to the world: 
you’re my every reason, you’re all that I believe in with all my heart I mean every word. 

So as long as I live I love you, will have and hold you. You look so beautiful in white. 
And from now til my very last breath this day I’ll cherish.
You look so beautiful in white. Tonight.

Zgodbe iz gline..

“Delo z glino v prvi vrsti uči umirjanja in pomirja. Ko gneteš kepo gline hitro začutiš, kako se vate naseli umirjenost. Glava, ki je bila še pred nekaj minutami tako polna misli, se naenkrat začenja osredotočati na gibe rok, ki se mehanično ponavljajo, na hlad gline in njeno mehko prepuščanje in vdajanje gibom.

Proces dela z glino uči nenavezanosti. Ko v izdelke vložiš veliko truda, časa in ljubezni, se spotoma pogosto na njih navežeš. A včasih tudi ne uspejo, saj med peko počijo, lahko padejo na tla ali pa jih poškoduje glazura. Tako se vedno znova učiš, da se ne navezuješ preveč na materialno, ampak uživaš v procesu in v novo pridobljenih znanjih in izkušnjah, četudi grenkih.

Glina uči tudi potrpežljivosti in vztrajanja. Pogosto kak izdelek ne izpade tako kot je bil zamišljen ali pa se ob delu pripeti nezgoda. Tu nastopi nato ponoven poizkus in za njim še en. Vztrajanje in potrpljenje, ki še kako koristi tudi zunaj delavnice z glino.

In nazadnje – glina povezuje. Ko ustvarjaš izdelek zase, se povežeš  s samim sabo in s svojim notranjim počutjem ter s sporočilom, ki ga želiš predati v izdelke. Ko ustvarjaš izdelek za drugega, se poskušaš povezati z zgodbo in s sporočilom, ki ga želiš predati naprej. Energija, s katero ustvarjamo, se prenese na izdelek in nato jo le-ta obdrži ter postane del tvoje zgodbe.”

Sreča je zadovoljstvo umetnika nad tem, kar je ustvaril.
