August Books

I always have books open, laying here and there.
I stop as I walk through a room and read a page or two.
The Ancestor's Tale is on my nightstand.
I read a couple of pages before bed.
It is a delight.

I have read this book three times. It is a summer read for me.
This year I am highlighting as I read and trying to change the way I speak. I am very committed to living and speaking the non-violent
life. I am learning. My daughter is excellent with this way.

I enjoy many different topics.

I have begun my own dream symbol journal.

Since the Festival of the Cedars is in August
I thought I would reread The Prophet.

My new favorite news letter!

I am making my own Luna Astrology.
It is fun!

My friend Wendy's book
is a treasure!

July Books

I have so many interests!

Some books I need to purchase.

Some books I have bought.

Once in awhile I read fiction.

I really enjoyed this last book
in the Earth's Children series.

I re-read
Nonviolent Communication every July.

I am learning about mosaics.

I am gathering my pebbles,
fossils and rocks.

My before bed reading
helps me dream of long ago.

June reading

I bought a few books while on holiday.

I have begun to plan my next adventure.

I want to find the gem and fossil trails in the Mid-west.

I picked up a few requested books from the library.

I am learning about book binding.

I want to make my own journals.
I need them for when I find gem trails.

I always have lots of paper to recycle.

I am thinking it would be fun to create with all the scap paper that comes my way.

I have fallen in love with petroglyphs.

While in Portland, Oregon we saw the documentary,
 "Cave of Forgotten Dreams."

It is about the rock art in Chauvet Cave in southern France.

When I came across this book in the on line library card catolog I was not sure what it would be about.

I am an avid photgrapher.

It is easy for me to take 100 plus photographs a day.

I work with three cameras and lots of different lens.

I have a huge collection of images.

I knew right away this was an important book for me.

"Several of the animal figures in the collection in the Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc cave were drawn with a finger moving on a thin film of clay. In French the term for such a drawing is trace digital, or digital drawing. We are at once linked from twenty-first century digital images to the digital images of our ancestors, reminded that the computer-based use of the term is anchored in our very physical nature and reminded that construction of images is a purposeful act."

A book I requested last winter has come in.
I will enjoy looking through.
Maybe I will sew up a few birds.
I have a bird collection.
