The Miracle of Kathleen Ramsay, Part 2

When asked what she thinks her biggest contribution is to her community, Kathleen Ramsay says that it is her Cottonwood Veterinary Clinic in Española, New Mexico. It’s a fairly rural area, and quite poor. She says, “Probably 60% of people living there make $10,000 per year.” And she has personally seen to it that her community can afford the very best medical care for their animals no matter their status and means.

The Miracle That is Kathleen Ramsay, Part 1

Ramsay’s wild patients represent the untamed world we’re running out of space for. So she takes them deeper into the mountains and forests, back to where she hopes the sweep of time may forget them. Winston Churchill famously said that “Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.” And mercifully, Dr. Kathleen Ramsay does just that. She continues.

Times of Trouble

This is the time for us to pull together as a people, as a nation, as a world. We must find the grace to forgive, to set aside our differences, our politics. We must stand strong together and we will find the path that endures.

God Speed Little Man

Bubba is a sensitive soul who has worked hard to fit. He has risen above fear, confusion and loss in order to live a good life. I believe there just may be some lessons for all of us in that.

Willie Chance (Because We Took a Chance on Each Other) Weigel

I was reminded once again that, while we still live, there are always chances for new beginnings, fresh starts, healing, new birth. I realize how easy that is for me to say not having lost a loved one, a child this year. But as hard as life can be, as long as we continue, there is hope.

What Are We Missing?

… that has made me think and wonder: What do I miss by being fearful? What would I be amazed by if I wasn’t bound up by old restrictions?

Finnie in the Pink

In spite of starting this round of rather scarey treatments, Finnie is doing fine. I wanted to reassure you all that he’s actually handling it amazingly well so far.

About Me

About High Road Artist IMG 9461 150x150I am Jeane George Weigel, a working artist living in the mountains of northern New Mexico, and I do not think you and I are so different.

Every single one of us longs to know what we ache for, to “follow our bliss” as Joseph Campbell famously put it. You may find yours as an artist, a writer, or a teacher. But I am convinced we all yearn to live what is in our hearts. Some of us spend a lifetime discovering what that is. Some never find it.

This blog is about a journey of self-discovery, yours and mine. I write about the experience of living an artist’s life and share musings and photos as this living experiment unfolds. It is my hope you’ll join in the conversation by writing to me about your lives and I dearly hope something, here, will inspire you.
