Haleiwa Arts Festival 2020 and what i won't be doing this summer

So many gathering will not be possible or healthy to put on this summer.

One of the best outdoor summer events in Hawaii on Oahu island

is the  Haleiwa Art Festival and is a no go i am  very  sad  to say. i 

have set up  for  this juried event for the past  20 years and find it 

a big gap in my life. 

So i will catch up on projects in motion as i usually have a few 

in the works due to my shattered attention and desire to capture 

a bit of a new concept. If you are a friend or past visitor to my colorful booth

and have a request or idea to share, please don't hesitate to email me if you wish 

 So. meanwhile i shall catch up on some books, make salads and ice tea and sit a spell.

i hope you and yours are well and able to navigate the world as we all find each morning.

Gratefully, Sonja

Shine on, Shine on

As of late, i am making more  of what some  call flags of hope.
they are also known as prayer flags by some.  they can be a silent prayer, a wish, hopes, a  yearning for all to be healed and united in the future ahead of us  .
 and since we  cannot control  things, our hair being proof of that.... however i can channel my art onto the fabric with  paint  and some threads and some words .
 i have an abundance of each  to make  a small offering of hope, encouragement
. words, words, words...
and color and motion all offered as a grateful prayer, to be carried on the wind  to where they are needed.

i have also read they are called wind horses in Tibet
Windhorse Prayer Flags

Also known as Lung-ta in Tibetan, the Windhorse coupled with the “Wish Fulfilling Jewel of Enlightenment” is an important symbol inscribed onto Tibetan prayer flags. Although they represent good fortune and luck, Tibetans believe they actually have the power to influence events in nature and society

              Happiness Runs

                                                Little pebble upon the sand 

                                                     Now you're lying here in my hand 

                                                   How many years

                                                     Have you been here?

                                             little  human upon the sand

From where I'm lying

Here in your hand

You to me are but a passing breeze

The sun will always, shine where you stand

Depending in which land

You may find yourself

Now you have my blessing, go your way

Happiness runs in a circular motion

Thought is like a little boat upon the sea

Everybody is a part of everything anyway

You can have everything if you let yourself be

Happiness runs, happiness runs

Happiness runs, happiness runs

Happiness runs, happiness runs

Happiness runs, happiness runs

Happiness runs in a circular motion

Thought is like a little boat upon the sea

Everybody is a part of everything anyway

You can have everything if you let yourself be

Happiness runs, happiness runs

Happiness runs, happiness runs

Happiness runs, happiness runs

Happiness runs, happiness runs

Happiness runs in a circular motion

Thought is like a little boat upon the sea

Everybody is a part of everything anyway

You can have everything if you let yourself be

Happiness runs, happiness runs

Happiness runs, happiness runs

Happiness runs, happiness runs

Happiness runs, happiness runs

Why? Because

Why? Because

Why? Because

Why? Because

Happiness runs in a circular motion

Thought is like a little boat upon the sea

Everybody is a part of everything anyway

You can have everything if you let yourself be

You can have everything if you let yourself be

You can have everything if you let yourself be

You can have everything if you let yourself be

You can have everything if you let yourself be

You can have everything if you let yourself be

You can have everything if you let yourself be

You can have everything if you let yourself be

You can have everything if you let yourself be

You can have everything if you let yourself be
You can have everything if you let yourself be
You can have everything if you let yourself be
You can have everything if you let yourself be
You can have everything if you let yourself be
