G*D LOVES ME

Heart

paint & salt on silk

by © Joy Krauthammer

Outlining a radiant heart

to fill with intense red and purple

is exciting to me.

Freely splashing water

and wildly brushing layers of color onto silk

is satisfying for me.

A frosting of salty tears

add surprise and a magical marbling finale.

With a bit of a broken heart

I dance on silk, knowing

G*d loves me.

G*d Loves You
 ~ a story

Grieving when my husband, z'l, had died after lengthy life-support, and after I had served for years as Caregiver Angel Warrior, I felt very 'alone', although surrounded by friends. 

My beloved Jerusalem rebbe Yosef Ben Shlomo Hakohen said to me, "G*d loves you".

I painted these words and hung them on my wall where I work.

I felt loved and healed, no longer alone, accepting this wisdom, and have shared the thought "G*d love you" with others during my Bikkur Cholim / visiting the sick experiences.

BUILDING A POEM

- Joy Krauthammer

Building A Poem

- Joy Krauthammer

Could 'building' be

one brick at a time

as progress is

one step at a time?

Baby steps for success

sometimes are essential.

A foundation, an intention. 

Steps go

further, 

deeper,

higher.

Steps in the mind

action

heart.

My sister's health improves

she takes

one step at a time. 

Don't look back.

I remind my sister

G*D is with you.

She reminds me

"ABC Always be careful

Always be conscious."

Alphabet is

the building

of a poem.

My sister builds a new life.

She is a poem.

II

I learn the new iMac, 

my senior challenge

one step at a time.

Daughter warned me

"Mom, don't do it.

It's a learning curve."

I kvell with my new

computer photo creations.

Will these moments' words

be my first poem

on my new computer?

A Shehecheyanu moment

like G*d's sunrise painting.

Is building as

a poem is 

a word at a time?

Relationships killed, not built 

with wrong words.

Or is a poem

a visual image?

and not a word at all.*

  

Can a poem be a photo?

what you see

in one shot

and touches your soul.

Photo of a building

steps ^up,

sunrise shot

as G*d paints

and builds

a new day

for us to build upon

beginning with

fiery praise

and grateful prayer,

hearing G*d's words, Shema,

and then action, Mitzvot.

Baruch Hashem, I build

in Four Worlds, 

Spirit, Mind, Heart, Body.

(Magritte painted

Ceci n'est pas une pipe.

An image is not the thing itself.

What does the Eiffel Tower represent?

Is 'building' a 'pipe dream'?)

BlesSings for building, health, wholeness, shalom and joy.
