How soothing is that tranquil owl of yours, with night hues and jazzy stylings. What a morning treat! (I say morning as a reference to my morning, not the clock's. 😏) I now have the song "All of Me" playing in my brain, together with memories of the 80s movie with Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin, lol. Here is Sarah Vaughan's 1957 rendition of "All of Me" that blows doors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22yx9BSiITQ
Also, regarding idioms having to do with birds, I read one I love: "It would be like bringing owls to Athens," meaning pointless, since Athens had owls roosting in the Parthenon and were featured on the silver coins minted there, the owl being symbolic of the goddess Athena.
Oh!! Oh!!! Oh!!!! I love, love, love your comment!! Thank you so much for Vaughn's rendition!!! And I loved Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin too!!! And "bringing owls to Athens" ... omg!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I love it!!! Thank you so very much!!!! 💚💚💚💚
Once again Sue shares her unique perspective with her exceptional, brilliant illustrations. Love , Love, LOVE your owls. (Has nothing to do with them being my spirit animal 😉.)
And, thank you for sharing your musical inspiration, love this piece 🥰. Just for fun, may I recommend Leo Kottke’s 12 string instrumental “Owls” . Uplifting, playful, soulful 💖. Look for it on the YouTubes.
Aww thank you!! You can fill your book with such thoughts too!! Keep your eyes and ears open during each day for anything that uplifts you. Write that on a scrap of paper, work on the wording on the paper scrap then when it makes your inner self feel soothed - write it as legible as you can in your book! It's also totally fine to look in a book of quotes till you see one that speaks to you and copy it into your book with an attribution. You can do this!!!! Just keep going!!! 💚💚💚
Ooooh!!! Yes please!!! That would be such fun to get to see you again!!! It was such a treat last year!!! You're awesome to give me that lovely memory and the hope for this October too!!! (First Thursday in Oct!) Thank you!!!! 💚💚💚💚
I can see how the music could bring back late-night conversations that meant a lot to you. (A big thanks to you and Judy for the dahlia postcard with Dorothy Parker's "life-affirming" quote.)
Lol!!! Thank you, again, for the gift of your understanding and friendship!!! So glad, too, that you got the postcard and liked it!!! Good soul therapy in Dorothy Parker's work!! 🤣🤣😘😘🥰🥰💚💚💚💚💚
Such a beautiful post, Sue - I'm so grateful for the book recommendation, which I am going to check out right now!!!
I love those touches of gold - absolutely gorgeous. ❤️ Owls were my grandma's favourite creatures - we'd always seek out birthday and Christmas cards for her with owls on. Every time I see any owl art I think of her. So thank you so, so much for that. 🦉
Oh!! I'm delighted you liked my post!! And I'm glad my owls reminded you of your grandmother too!!! I hope you'll be able to find the book 🤞💚💚💚💚 And thank you for your kind comment!!!
