HAIKU
Such a precious gift
This unrepeatable day
Embrace the ordinary
…there is always something ‘extra’ in ordinary…

Like ghostly shipwrecks
Unafraid of mighty waves
Stands lighthouse of mercy

SEEING DOUBLE
The Two Fridas by Frida Kahlo
This painting depicts how Frida Kahlo saw her two personalities: on the right, a happily married woman and on the left, a divorced woman whose heart is bleeding down her dress.
HAIKU
She chose to be wife
yet marriage conflicted with
her freedom for art
SELF PORTRAIT
Frida Kahlo Flowers
I choose this self portrait from Frida Kahlo because it is a departure from her other works which reflect her personal deep chasm between happiness and despair.
HAIKU
Life is beautiful
when you first love yourself, then
others may be loved
“I paint self portraits because I am so often alone…because I am the subject I know best.”
–Frida Kahlo (1907-1954)
