Out of the Blue is my new art photograph now on display through the month of May at Touchstone Gallery in DC for the “A Dip In The Blue” members show. White fluffy clouds and a blue sky are two of my favorite things. It’s always good to start a new season on a positive note. I’m looking forward to the beautiful warm days yet to come. As of late, our teeter-tottering weather has me pondering, and this piece mirrors my curious nature.

The haiku:

spring clouds
dipped in blue—
my fluttering hat

My FB post:

Facebook catch ups are so refreshing. Afterward, a friend asked today: Aren’t you tired of being nice all the time? Because people must disappoint you a lot.

My answer: Disappointment follows agendas and expectations. My kindness is free of both.

For example, I believe people deserve kindness and respect. Since not everyone accepts or repays kindness—I respect that too.
Kindness, above all, is a gift I offer freely to those accepting. Those who reciprocate are a treasure, and the rest, they’re simply not compatible. There’s no need for disappointment.

I just want you to know that you’re not alone.

In short, just be you, and stay kind.

The Bear reaches out to embrace its rose. Supposedly the holder of a blue rose will have his wishes granted . . . in Tennessee Williams’ 1944 book “The Glass Menagerie,” use of the blue rose symbolized romance and yearning for the unattainable. In Japan the blue rose signifies true love.
