Dilleen Marsh on Instagram: "Day 541. Spring run-off will soon wend its way down the mountains. Hopefully, a robust growing season will BEGIN. Not too long ago the new year also BEGAN with optimistic resolve: get healthy, save money, be kinder, etc. The get healthy crowd came out of the shoot rearing to eat better and January 3rd saw a huge drop in fast food sales. Unfortunately, if this year is like others, February 13th is about as long as our resolute BEGINNINGS last. Typically, that day will

Dilleen Marsh on Instagram: "Day 554. CHANGE is coming. I can feel it in the warming air, lengthening days, an upsurge in energy and purpose. Walked by our peach and almond trees, pleased to see a profusion of buds getting ready to blossom. I am relieved the trees survived the cold of winter. "Today is not yesterday. We ourselves CHANGE. How then, can our works and thoughts, if they are always to be the fittest, continue always the same. CHANGE, indeed, is painful, yet ever needful; and if memor

Dilleen Marsh on Instagram: "Day 615. Run up against some PAIN recently? It can't feel good to bury your face in a cactus, as this rock looks like it is trying to do. Even as I sat down to sketch tonight I felt a twinge of unexpected PAIN and considered the power of thought, lol. The thing about PAIN is, thankfully, this: it feels so good when it is gone. There, of course, are other benefits to having PAIN. "Though all afflictions are evils in themselves, yet they are good for us, because they d

Dilleen Marsh on Instagram: "Day 712. "The moon will still set Tomorrow, Bet your bottom dollar That tomorrow There'll be a moon... 'Til there's almost none." (Thank you, Annie.) Of course, even when we can't see the diminishing moon, we know it's there. Waxing and waning. Lit up enough to soften the stars and then dark enough to sharpen their glitter. Eleven days ago, the clouds gathered to "ooh" and "aah" at that little pearl in the sky. I take great comfort from the dependable moon and the, n

Dilleen Marsh on Instagram: "Day 752. See that big wave of rocks and dirt FROZEN in place! That itty bitty cactus, struggling to thrive on a barren plain, only has to worry about its daily minutiae: getting a drink, enough sunshine, disease, injury, getting old, a mortgage payment, ...oops, I digress...not an overwhelming landslide. Of course, that would be a quicker death! This morning I opened my laptop to a mega virus alert. Scared me to death! While I worked through the problem with a pleasa

Dilleen Marsh on Instagram: "Day 804. Good heavens, it seems like everything in the desert is PRICKLY! The cactus, of course, and tumbleweed flowers, wild grasses, even tree branches. I am sure there is a purpose to every "point". My mother, who is regaining her strength from a heart attack reminded me recently that the difficulties of life teach us wisdom. The "point" of obstacles is to learn how to deal with them. Robert Willmott, an English author from the 1800s said, "the whole creation is k

Dilleen Marsh on Instagram: "Day 843. Who came up with the idea of wearing nylons and a skirt when the winter temperatures plummet and the wind kicks up? Too much of a shy conformist to dig out artic gear for the short dash from car to climate controlled building, I heroically braved the chilly discomfort. Thank heavens I wasn't in high heels on ice storm pavement or slogging through 33 inches of snow. I ambled fast and was brave, lol. Winter storms, like Decima, will roll on through, eventuall

Dilleen Marsh on Instagram: "Day 1037. There's a rule-of-thumb to only use pure black (if you really must) when you paint a HOLE in something. Attracted to old buildings as artistic design, I've painted my share of black holes. Now I mix other splendid colors to get dark spaces of emptiness. Holes are not always empty. Seeing a lighted window in a dark landscape can be a cheery reminder that there is life going on inside: snacks in the fridge, favorite TV shows playing on a screen, comfy couches

Dilleen Marsh on Instagram: "Day 1041. How dare that chaos of purple and pink push it's way into a perfectly apportioned patch of green?!! It's brutal in the desert, shattering traditional norms of cacti 'ceilings'. The audacity of that little ENERGETIC group of interlopers! I once asked my 95 year old grandmother, "what is the hardest thing about getting old?" She said, "not being able to DO for yourself anymore." Yes...ENERGY. That same grandma once proudly told me she could "hitch up a team o
