Darabird Jonathan Livingston Seagull. It's been a long time since reading but I seem to recall his sense of freedom and the sky being his limit. And then there is Alobar, and Kudra (Jitterbug Perfume) that had secrets to longevity and lived for centuries. For all I...

Darabird What you do is go to the original post or question and below the entry to the right you should see 'Respond to this Discussion'. That would be before clicking the pic. Those comments are separate and one must be a friend to comment, for some odd reason.

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 21 Apr 07

Winter months can wreak havoc on your physical and mental state. The lack of sunlight can often be the reason. These past few days I have been out in various places and have noticed how much more upbeat people seem to be. The...

Darabird Its a fact. The Sun is Energy and spreads to us. I'm extremely solar powered. I feel it in my bones and my energy level when the sun is out. And gloomy days definately leave me down and under the weather. I've been prompted into using the new energy...

I find many websites soliciting for automobile donations 'for charity'. One site says they donate the vehicles to charity organizations for the organizations use. That makes sense. Others auctions them to beneift charities. I know...

The spiritual side of painting.

Wanderlaugh @Wanderlaugh (1622) • Australia 27 Feb 07

Have a look at this picture. I was experimenting with various yellows, and this thing effectively produced itself. All I did was emphasize it a bit. What do you see?

How do you judge character,?

Wanderlaugh @Wanderlaugh (1622) • Australia 13 Feb 07

In real life, or when reading a book, or watching something, how do you decide what you think of people? Is it how they appear, what they say or do, or some sort of personal vibe? I find the shallow characters in many shows and...

Darabird Actually I do get that personal vibe, ..I seem to know when to hold them, when to fold them, when to walk away, when to run. Isn't it interesting how the spirit of a person is so evident in this medium yet often look nothing like we perceive?

Darabird Well, I can't speak for all dogs, but I know my dog understands many things. He knows "NO", "DOWN" "GO FOR A WALK", "GO TO THE PARK", "NITE-NITE", "BAD"... Once he understands a word or phrase he doesn't forget it.

Does Color Effect Your Mood?

languagedancer @languagedancer (12) • United States 22 Dec 06

For me, color can have a serious impact on my mood. As I sit here at my computer, looking at all of the snow that has fallen in the last 36 hours, I feel so light hearted. There is something about white, which I suppose isn't...

7 responses

Darabird Hmm. This is thought provoking. I assume that color does affect my mood but I've never really broken it down like that. My problem is, my environment, as my life, is mixed and scattered with all colors coming at me at once, not especially soothing. I saw an...

Darabird I've dabbled in most mediums, ie., pencil, paint, oil pastels. I've most recently begun using soft pastels which seem to be a good all around medium. From my own experience, I've found that drawing skills aren't as important with pastels because they tend...

Can you lose your creativity??

Nireths @Nireths (149) • United States 21 Feb 07

Recently I have felt like I can't do anything. I don't know if it's my mood, or state of mind, or so many things that are going on and chores to do. I don't know if you can lose creativity. But I would like to know if anyone knows...

Darabird I've also heard that your creativity never truly dies or goes away. It just gets lost, buried, hidden, sometimes for decades as happened to me, during child raising and other distractions. Sparing details of my own struggle to appease the muse, I think it...

Darabird I can't say I truly have one favorite, but I also like the sound of 'Silhouette', and 'Pirouette' which is also a French word, and means to spin or whirl about.

Darabird Yes, this happens. Normally I can judge a book by its cover or at least the panel that tells what its about. A while back I decided to start reading classics and finally read "A Tale of Two Cities". It was an early edition and the language was terrible and the...
