Are You There, God? It's Me, Francie


Are You There, God?

I don't actually think that God is my personal friend.


I suspect that God is a wild loving Force to which we return - but that is about it.


I do think it is possible that the God Force can be tapped if enough people concentrate on an issue


but it seems to me that getting angry because God 'let' something bad happen is simplistic.


Shit happens.





I had such a hard time moving into the making of abstract art.


I had to literally cut apart some of my pictures and glue them back in the wrong places.  The results were terrible but the act of doing it was a bit of a mental laxative - it seemed to tell my unconscious that I was ready to let go of a lot of crap, (pun intended).


But it is a comfortable place now and this large piece is about learning to use oil paint.





(And maybe there is a little spiritual arrogance thrown in and certainly a reference to the children's book, "Are You there God? It is Me Margaret")
