Blogging in the Eye of Art, Unity, Truth, & Yearning (BEAUTY)

A discovery of things, places, and people who move earth, sky, heart and soul. Or at least make you smile...

Location: Way Down South, United States

Bayou Child once lived on a great mountain overlooking a wild rushing river. After seven years of meditation, she made two discoveries. First, she realized she didn't know anything. Secondly, she found that nothing matters except love. So she moved back to the place she had come from, the bayou - a slow moving body of water in the Deep South. Bayou Child, a shy but friendly person, has done many things including writing, editing, publishing books, counseling, teaching psychology, creating serigraphic and lithographic designs, and weaving in a cotton mill. She doesn't do most of those things anymore. Instead, she sits by the bayou, feeds the ducks, and hopes for the best. Bayou Child is mother of two shining souls, one of whom went back to God a few years ago. The other lives in an artsy, west coast community and works in communications. Bayou Child currently lives with her great love of many decades, a handsome, creative man who teaches/writes psychology.

Strength, patience, and flying free...

Eric D. Lehman at hackwriters.com writes:

"...The film of Connor, Mingus, Picasso, Sophie, Olive, Pushkin, and Tupelo is some of the most touching and hilarious footage I’ve ever seen of bird behavior. Connor is actually a blue-headed conure [the rest of the flock is of a different species and has red feathers on their heads]... his outsider relationship with the flock mirrors Bittner’s relationship with our forward-moving, career-based society. Connor’s solitary journey through life makes him unique, more than the blue feathers on his head. Although Bittner offered him the comfort of his ramshackle home, thinking his treatment by the other birds harmful, the blue-head preferred to be wild, much like Bittner himself. How many of us have the strength or patience of either of these individuals?"
