Raymond Carver, 2

I have always appreciated the simplicity of Raymond Carver’s voice. This poem has spent lots of time on my refrigerator.

Beloved

And did you get what
you wanted, from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.

      Yes, so much! I just sent your message from days ago about being grateful for our blessings in the moment and how temporary a certain reality can be, to a friend in Massachusetts. Your gentle message of acceptance and joy in this moment is reaching around the world. Bless you sweet one.

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.
