This is another fun project I created with my strips of acrylics on paper. Double sided. Bookmarks always come in handy for someone like me because I still love the tactile feel of paper bound books.

Choosing Our Future
Racism has been a heartfelt concern for me for a long time, even though I am privileged to live in Canada as a white woman this time around. ( I have a deep knowing that I’ve experienced lifetimes in all races on this planet but you don’t have to believe me:) Racism is created by ignorance of the inherent unity of humanity and all life. I stand with those who are declaring #blacklivesmatter and with those who say We Are All One.
Likes
No, I don’t like the trendy, empty likes
littering language young girls use-
(like he said, like she said,
like you know what I mean?)
but I do like the likes writers choose-
(she felt his voice like a soft Spring breeze)
descriptive or designed to amuse.
Yes, I do like the likes of website likes-
agreements with views,
acknowledgments of news,
pleasures of beauty to share-
stars and hearts to show we care.
There are so many empty hearts waiting…
to fill… even liking the likes of you.
Like it or not but it’s also true…
Our machines message, compute and analyze
every word, number, image,
every thought expressed-
every like (or not) we all do.
This is the age of transparency
and often voluntary vulnerability too.

The Arts and Reincarnation
A Prayer For Healing
Lord, heal the minds of those who kill
CONVINCED, ASSURED, it is Your Will.
Lord, heal the minds of those who hate
when Heaven is LOVE and a PEACEFUL state.
(Sept. 2010- Shelley Wilson)
