Description
Happy Birthday, dear Mark!
Always in my thoughts is our friend Mark (anahata.c)
And today Mark has become another year 'younger', in the hope that Mark will also feel younger.
*wink*, even if it was only one day, or at least the day of his birthday.
Karel and I wish you a joyful day without pain or worries.
On the way to a wonderful 'being', to the full glory of being here on earth.
Maybe a bit strangely worded, but hey, I don't know how it's supposed to be in American.
Here a little poem for Mark.
The many tones of this artist:
Skilled in music,
in sound and in color,
versatile in writing,
his pen and brush alive with energy.
Observing his thoughts,
deep and still,
as he walked beside
the lake in Chicago.
And behold:
an artist is born.
A wonderful soul,
to whom I wish
nothing but the very best.
With dedication, sending you a bunch of love,
Jacomina.
----------------------------------
In Dutch:
De vele toonaarden
van deze kunstenaar
Bedreven in muziek
in klank en kleur
veelzijdig schrijven
energiek zijn pen en penseel.
Zijn gedachten observerend diep
terwijl hij naar het meer in Chicago liep.
En zie: Een kunstenaar is geboren.
Een pracht van een mens
die ik meer dan het allerbeste wens.
Met toewijding en veel liefde,
Jacomina.

Thank you very much for your visit, dear friends!

"I've ordered our friend Mark to keep quiet and not respond here, because I know he needs rest, a lot of rest, especially now that he's turning another year older, lol!"
Anyway, I've already received the most loving response, what made me very, very happy.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend, here the sun shines, yay! ;-)

Wat een prachtige fractal en mooi eerbetoon aan de jarige !Happy Birthday, Mark!
Dankjewel Chris!
well Jacomina, i really did have more to say ("pull up a chair!" as we say in english), and since I'm commenting on the 2 or 3 other dedis I (gratefully) got, I can't 'not' comment on yours! So you'll just have to read a second comment, lol...I promise I won't make it a boekdeel...(or 'deel") (a "tome"? bear with my Nederlands)...
Thank you so much for such beautiful words, and for celebrating my creative life. As you know well, creating can be draining or exhausting; but it's a great blessing too. Thank you for your constant support of my artistic life, and for all you wrote here...and I understood your english perfectly: ontzettend bedankt!
I saw the rhyme in the dutch version of your poem (I always read your dutch versions, even though I can't read dutch/nederlands)---I always love your sounds: diep/liep, mens/wens...and the inner-rhymes too (i.e., "in klank en kleur"). But your words are very touching. You made it sound like, in walking past the Lake everyday, artistry grew in me, and it was born. Such a beautiful way to put it---I wonder if it didn't happen the same way, to you...i.e., despite all the struggles and 'storms' of life, the beauty around you awakened the artist already inside you. That's what I felt from your words.
And as for your image---whoosh! It's a big look inside the sun, or inside a living cell, etc ("fill in the blanks" as we say in english) (vul de lege plekken in). There are all kinds of energies swirling around each other, and forces colliding and uniting, colors 'talking' to each other, etc...it's like you pulled-off the surface from of a star, and this is what you saw. A lot of your art has a cosmic energy inside. And this one has lots of blues and blue-greens, which give peace to all this activity. And it all sits on a tranquil surface. (There's peace underneath it all.) A beautiful burst of a work, with a big fanfare on top! I.e, like an elaborate wild hat (the kind of hats worn in the late 1800s in Paris): It's all topped-off with swirling plumage. Like your countryman, Vermeer---his famous "Girl With a Pearl Earring"---it's like her head-scarf was blown by a wild gust of wind: That's what the top of your image looks like, to me.
Well i wrote a long comment (sorry!). Thank you so much for this, both you and Karel; and thank you for all your wishes and loving words. I greatly appreciate it all. I wish you both the best spring possible. You both deserve it.
Hello Mark, Boekdeel is Dutch, I always like it so very much if you throw in Dutch words, lol! You wrote: "despite all the struggles and 'storms' of life, the beauty around you awakened the artist already inside you". These words did something to me, there is a kind of history in them, of years where 'forms' indeed arise and grow unconsciously. It may be that, out of necessity, people are looking for an outlet to transfer their feelings to paper, for example.
What I also find interesting is that you write about colors that talk to each other. This is also a thought that provokes thinking, at least for me. I once wrote a poem about this.
Yes, I now also see that special, richly decorated hat that people wore in those 'Vermeer days'. Great you mentioned this. Thank you with all my heart for every word you wrote, Mark. I hope it didn't cost you too much, I think we both have this thing that you involuntarily force yourself, no matter what the cost.
Let us keep in mind the water beneath the fractal, that this may be like an oasis in which we can reflect ourselves; and we'll pretend it's your lake of Chicago.
With all the love you need, healing you need, and relaxation you need. Take care, Mark, just keep at it and before you know you'll be completely reconditioned and like new. ;-)
