When an artist dies,
God lets them
paint the sky to
say their goodbye.
Unattributed
(Some Angel let the secret out no doubt)
In our home this treasured sight,
Carved with care, my wooden delight.
Rustic charm from Eastern land,
Brought to life by artisan hand.
Your silent gaze, so wise and calm,
Brings to my space a soothing balm.
Japanese bear so quaint and strong,
To my heart, you'll always belong.
You piece of art and cultural tie,
Your presence lifts my spirits high.
Dear wooden friend from far away,
You brighten my world every day!

Our deepest fears
are like dragons guarding
our deepest treasure.
Rainer Maria Rilke
The happiness consists
in realizing that it is all
a great strange dream.

It was a brown bear,
with human looking feet,
stealing several carved statues!
Exclaimed Mr. Chan, the artist:
"Stop boy-foot bear with teaks of Chan!"

Like Pixie, I'm loving your Japanese bear and poem. Have a great weekend, dear friend. Lots of aloha from the Leeward side...
I don't know if I would equate them with a treasure.
The gecko is great.
The quotes are just lovely to read
Thanks friends!
Pixie looks regal.
Love the bear poem and Pixie is always a favorite.
The gecko photo is great!
Thank you for linking up and sharing your critter post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Beautiful reflections and imagery! I especially love the sentiment about artists painting the sky.
Why can’t we all paint the sky?
...clouds add drama to a beautiful blue sky.
I like the last, shadowy photo. Shadowy is the wrong word, but it’s all I’ve got. 😀
Thanks for the inspiration, Cloudia and Pixie!
Aloha Cloudia and Pixie too, and to all the rainbows that paint our skies and may our hopes and dreams be the focus of all. We need each it seems to grab a larger lantern of light......
Artists painting the sky - wonderful, Cloudia. ;-)

Hugs to you and Pixie this morning!

What a beautiful and poetic tribute to art, nature, and the connection we feel with meaningful objects! The lines about the artist painting the sky as a goodbye are so deeply moving, and the description of your treasured wooden piece adds a warm, personal touch. It’s amazing how objects can hold such deep significance and carry a sense of peace and connection with different cultures.
I hope you are having a great weekend. You are invited to read my new post: https://www.melodyjacob.com/2025/03/the-breathtaking-adventures-we-had-in-glencoe.html Thank you.
Lovely Pixie!
Pixie's poem about the bear is marvelous. What does she think about the blue dragon head?
Dear Cloudia, it's true that heaven is often painted by artists. And now I see that there are is a cat that creates artistic poems about artfully carved bears 😍. The photo of the shadow lizard is really something very special!
I'm sending a loving cuddle to Pixie.
All the best from Austria, Traude
