Welcoming Sunrise


Lately I’ve been particularly aware of the mornings, just after sunrise. Perhaps its because the days have been so hot and our mornings are always cool, especially when we’ve had rain the night before. So I get up early, toss on some clothes and take the boys out for a walk, first thing, on the land grant. It is peaceful almost beyond words. The birds are just waking, their song filling the sky. Bunnies scamper about. I notice tracks of big cats, cougar and bobcat, left in the drying mud from the previous night’s storm, some coyote there as well. The scent of freshness is all around. I fill my lungs with it. And I marvel anew, every single morning, at this blessing of life I am privileged to live. A friend’s nephew has just died and the only thing I can do to honor his life, is to live as fully as I am able, while I still walk on this earth. May his spirit find peace, free of suffering.

Love to you all,
Jeane

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.
