There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story. Linda Hogan

“Sometimes what seems like surrender isn’t surrender at all. It’s about what’s going on in our hearts. About seeing clearly the way life is and accepting it and being true to it, whatever the pain, because the pain of not being true to it is far, far greater.”- Nicholas Evans
Slowly I am learning to surrender and live from my heart. I guess you can say I am a slow learner or maybe a late bloomer yet I think it is not when you arrive to realization about yourself. Understanding accepting and being is all that is needed for anyone to live from the heart. Nature and art is a joy and I hope you find my work a heartfelt creation. Please see my work at Between The Weeds Etsy Shop. The artwork included here is an original garden nature art watercolor of blue and pink garden flowers. It is one of many original work by Laurie Rohner.

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. Anne Frank
Isn’t it the simple things that offer the greatest pleasure and joy. Nature is a part of my life and always will be and in the foggy moments of any life nature is always there ready for you to connect. It could be a flowers scent, image of a gorgeous landscape,or glimpse of a hummingbird connecting you to simplicity of nature.
Lilacs blooming this time of year with their sweet scents and colorful variety of blooms conjures in my mind afternoon tea with my grandma, Honey. She always had a story to share and I can still hear her giggle (which was very infectious). For Mothers Day in the flower shop I would have bouquets ready all around the shop and the shop would fill with the sweet aroma. So I painted this painting in memory of those wonderful times in my life. Maybe lilacs conjure a memory for you also.

I love the feeling I get when I look at my illustration of lilacs and garden flowers with a few bees in watercolor and pen. There is a blush of blue sky hinting at a spring day in May. It is cheery and guarantees a better mood. These are flowers from my gardens in Vermont.

Mother’s Day is fast approaching us and you may want to buy something very special this year for the remarkable epic women in our lives. I am not referring to just the biological mothers but to all the women mothering adopted children (though in their hearts they gave birth to them)or the furry children or nurture friends or the precious earth this is a day for every women who nurtures another precious being. Maybe you are one of these other women or you know one of these gorgeous souls. Wouldn’t it be special to recognize them by giving them a gift, too?

“This is the other secret that real artists know and wannabe writers don’t. When we sit down each day and do our work, power concentrates around us. The Muse takes note of our dedication. She approves. We have earned favor in her sight. When we sit down and work, we become like a magnetized rod that attracts iron filings. Ideas come. Insights accrete.”
Resistance is experienced as fear; the degree of fear equates to the strength of Resistance. Therefore the more fear we feel about a specific enterprise, the more certain we can be that that enterprise is important to us and to the growth of our soul. That’s why we feel so much Resistance. If it meant nothing to us, there’d be no Resistance.”
“Are you paralyzed with fear? That’s a good sign. Fear is good. Like self-doubt, fear is an indicator. Fear tells us what we have to do. Remember one rule of thumb: the more scared we are of a work or calling, the more sure we can be that we have to do it.”
I have to admit I live with fear everyday. I do have self doubt and I know to the core of my being what I am doing is absolutely right for me, not you or my neighbor or co-worker or family member but for moi. Decades of living and learning through some painful and terrifying experiences I have learned stop thinking the path before you is not the right one. It is your path not the collective sum of all others but unique to your life. Stop resisting and learn to answer the tug in your gut telling you to follow that scary road.
Learning the difference between fear due to danger and fear due to the unknown takes experience and time. Understanding the subtle signs and gut reactions also takes finesse and understanding all which comes with living your life.
Custom watercolor by Laurie Rohner
Today I started another watercolor and realized I have conformed, feelings of doubt and resistance to even create was work. When I am working I find out the most amazing qualities about myself through the process of creating. Maybe it is because when I am truly present, what it is I am here to do (not being to full of myself) creating art, I hear whispers. Soulful nature divine spiritual whispers from a little voice we all hear to many times but never pay attention to what it is telling us. I need to pay attention and I need to create everyday.
I am busy doing so much to get to a place that when I get there I may not be any better off than I am right now. Sometimes we keep ourselves moving doing and thinking, we are not feeling the fear and our doing becomes more, the resistance becomes overwhelming. An important person in my life used to use the word insurmountable when things ratcheted up a notch and I knew it was her way of avoiding the fear. The word would make me cringe. We together had some tough experiences and the word did fit but the fear never went away and never did the resistance become less. Funny thing now this dear soul passed and when I hear the word I know it is time to buckle down face the fear and move forward.
Fear is a part of life and I have found it can be friendly. Fear reminds me of the old cranky person who comes across as mean, no one likes the person and the children stay clear. The cranky person does not mind because this is the purpose of its life and has never known another way of living. We know, I know there is.
When you face the fear in your life and allow for the creative nature inside to emerge, life is worth it. I am an artist. I can understand the quote for when I create I face the biggest fear I have which is am I good enough.
What is it you need to face about you or your life?
Turn off the phone and step away from the devises that keep you from doing what it is you want to do. Is that really important? I love technology. The things we are capable of doing with these things (phones tablets and add in your favorite) are mind numbing but we have to use them as tools that help us achieve our goals and our dreams. I do not know when it happened but at one point working hard was taken out of the equation in achieving a dream and making your life work for you within that vision. Too many people are touting they have the answer and all you need do is think it so and miraculously it will happen. Maybe that is why we are seeing people becoming the entitlement generation. Someone forgot to tell them even the people with the answers got there with hard work. You cannot do that if you are tethered to a phone tablet or device of any kind. They suck your energy and squash your time.
When you put all your efforts towards the goal you want to achieve stay focused and know this is going to happen it is hard work. Experimenting trying another avenue and not giving in to the ego’s voice, yup hard work. Working from early morning all day and at times long into the evening hours, hard work. Taking action daily, from now on, because yesterday is finished with and to manifest a dream you need to keep moving forward, is essential.
You and you alone know what is right for your life. When you figure that out you are more than half way to making your dream a reality. Remember hard work = dream.

I think there was a time very long ago when magic and fairies and unseen friends were a part of our world or more to the point we were a part of their world. As our egos grew the veil between our worlds fell back down, darkening the light, and now only a few see, feel and understand what is Between the Weeds.
