Chance, Luck and Destiny

I'm wondering, are you up for a challenge?

I am feeling really challenged right now as by mere chance last night I injured my poor sick foot and can not even stand on it.

I am trying real hard not to think of the possibility of missing my Italy trip.

Or at the least, I'm trying not to think of hobbling through the Rome airport.

It is making me feel sick with swarms of some creatures in my stomach.

And I'm just trying to get my mind off of the pain with a challenge of my own doing.

I am always ShArOn.

While gathering some papers and text and images and other collage ephemera

for my Italy trip,

I found a poem in an old book, Chance, Luck and Destiny, that I have used for a visual journal.

I am getting to the challenge....really

This is only one page of  the poem.

The poem is by Peter Dickenson and is from his book, Chance, Luck and Destiny.

So, here is the challenge:

I am challenged to "paint words" sometimes.  Are you?

When I read the first lines of this page,

"Ow, Lady in red petticoats,

Now will you be my bride?"

I was listening to my imagination when it went wild!

I haven't started anything yet and so I thought there might be someone out there who would enjoy a little kick-start.

If those words inspire you to "paint" them,

I hope you will jump in and join me.

If you do, let us know. We will want to see.
