The lord works in mysterious ways - he keeps me laughing in between crying.
I AM continually reminded how I have been helped many times over- I realized a few things yesterday after a Ray of sunshine on what started a grey morning! 
I learned over the years I have met some incredible lawyers  & EVERY time they have helped me & have never charged me.  Once a police officer even went to court to fight for me & won.  I have been protected my whole life.  Thank you Lord.

They all have told me they know/knew I was/am telling the truth and helped - it's been that simple... I guess they should know if they have been living it long enough and they also know when someone is not doing something 'for money'.  Yesterday I ended up speaking to a lawyer (I never met before) all I know is his name was Ray and he was a Ray of fucking sunshine I needed.  He explained a few things & I have heard this before  ONE other time:

No lawyer wants to spend time on your case, although  it's NOT right what you experienced - you were NOT physically hurt (other than a sore breast & slapped on the arm & back) like -I did not lose a limb in a car accident - so WHEN I would win- I'd only get a small amount and it's about $1,500 just to start a file.  A lot of time for little $.      I get it. 
He also understood I don't want any other woman to experience this.

Wow. The other time we heard that was when the genetics specialist at Sick kids told us:
No scientist are going to waste time trying to find a cure for a disease that only a few people have.  Storms illness was/is considered an 'Orphan' disease - very rare.
 'That' back then... felt like a slap. 

MONEY MONEY MONEY...         Good thing I know  God has my back, no deposit required only faith in others and myself needed.  Ray restored my faith in humans. He didn't even know.  He inspired the thank you card... already in the mail.

There's nothing like a kick in the teeth of reality to give me a kick in the ass to make shit happen myself! I realized I am not weak-  (as I felt in that office last week) I am STRONG.

That "technician" I'm confident will definitely THINK the next time she behaves as she did
NEVER LET ANYONE TOUCH you in anyway you feel uncomfortable!  Being smacked on the arm while my breast was in that machine - SHOWED her LACK of control & let me clarify for the record- it wasn't about being 'SMACKED' as I've been smacked, punched slapped, hair pulled, clothes torn and then some my entire life - far worse than what she did to me.  To treat a patient (stranger) as she did while my breast was in that machine - showed her LEVEL of professionalism - Treating a patient who is naked & vulnerable & frightened  with anything other than compassion - speaks volumes about that 'PROFESSIONAL'.  

I was grateful to  Ray ' he calmed me down - explained things as they are, was patient....  after I got off the phone & painted (felt good) I made him a thank you card- as I do. It made me LOL - I guess it is HOW I heal.   I realized when I looked up the address - I just had a conversation about my "fucking boob was in a vice when she lost it!"  with a 'criminal lawyer.'  That made me really  laugh out loud.  Someone who deals with murder... I did think later... I should have punched her - I'd been happy to explain it to a judge.  I could not have reached.. my boob did not stretch that far...  that & she was definitely NOT  worth me hurting my painting hands!
 
I do think Ray thought 'tit was a joke for  a second when I first called him as he asked 'who told you to call me??  (9 a.m.) Another lawyers had given me his #.  I am forever grateful for his brutal reply - it saved me time and energy' then - I knew the exact direction to take and the rest of the day went so smoothly - all I could think:
                                       Thank you again, for answering my prayers.

PLEASE NOTE: I LEARNED these 'PRIVATE places'- when there is an issue - GOOD LUCK!  & Ray told me that too-  it's not like you can even contact anyone - there is NO ONE on the WWW for you to ask for - that alone should be sending up red flags! They have it so it's work just tracking them down,  who has time, energy - or in some cases $ for lawyers.
FROM NOW ON I will have all my tests done at the hospital or with a REGISTERED organization with reputable service & PROFESSIONAL, COMPASSIONATE employees.  

I share this bullshit so YOU Might avoid it- I won't give that bitch another thought, she's not worth it.  Life is too short & I have painting to do- cards to make & smile to produce!! AMEN.

ANYONE who thinks I'm being dramatic - HAVE a STRANGER put your breast/penis in a vice while  you're naked & trapped - alone in a room with a shut door - you can't reach -  then  you are slapped  by them  while they are yelling  their credentials!   Have that happen...
Then let's have this fucking conversation again.   
I bet your perspective changes.

Lesson learned  it will never happen to me again! I go prepared from now on to every appointment & IF I want someone in the room with me - I am getting someone IN the room with me! FUCK that- this system needs FIXED!!!

Wait until you see my Space Monkey that inspired another space monkey - and a space monkey painting! Time to get creative. 

The image below was pulled off of Google with just a couple of complaints I easily found : KESWICK ADVANCED Imaging.  Do not say you have not been warned! I would never recommend any woman go here for a mammogram!  
CLEARLY THERE IS AN issue...   WHY is this person still working there!? I feel sad for the young mom too.  NO, not 'physically hurt -  still  - fucked with mentally BY an angry bitch who takes it out on PATIENTS.

Tis the season for depression.  That is the reality for too many.  You are not alone.
I've seen friends say they don't feel like Christmas at all,  know of some that are having family struggles (don't we all), custody battles - where will the kids spend Christmas, recent  separations & stress over holiday confrontations or alienation... a couple of girlfriend lost their moms this year and are struggling with the first Christmas without - makes me glad mine is still here & cooking all the veggies  -  :).   At the same time  I see & feel their sadness - one friend can't even speak to me about it - we both TEAR up instantly.. she has a huge family & will survive the holiday I'm confident.  How about those with a small or no family.. do you think Christmas is a happy time for all, hardly.

Then there is the stress of Christmas spending, I'm seeing that almost everywhere - this thing about giving people money - what's Christmas going to come to? A banking holiday?  Not sure what to get someone for fear they won't like it, having too many you feel you should buy for, I read the chance of a heart attack of the holidays increaser quite a bit- is it the food? The excess booze? The stress?   Shovelling snow is often a factory btw.. take care.

This year has been incredibly stressful, I try to pretend it's not- yet I'm having difficulty even leaving my home (my trust in humans is not what it was)  & throw in Trump to the list- I'm positive that  orange ape is responsible for an increase in Christmas depression around the globe.

When I look at the effect the toll of stress has had on my own physical body just since the summer - my one side has completely covered in psoriasis that wakes me from pain at night & the scabs on my back and down my right leg to the bottom of my feet -  I'm concerned it's got out of control...  So,  NO - the last thing I'm going to 'let' stress me is Christmas.  Tis the season - it can be very overwhelming for adults & children &  pets - I don't know about you but I'd like to encourage all of you who are feeling blue, sad, depressed - - embrace it  & say FUCK IT! It's just a holiday, just another day - if you're focusing on Jesus- awesome-  as that is the reason  for the season.. Jesus knows  so don't sweat it-  if you can pour yourself a cup of medicated tea or a glass of nice wine.. roll a joint & climb in a  warm tub like this sweet little ginger & slide in and RELAX ('Im about to do this now)  it will be a great start to melting holiday stress... warm jimmies, movie on Netflix , medicate popcorn sprinkled with cinnamon... GIVE yourself a BREAK &  Fuck it.

It's Black Friday.  Consumerism is killing us.
More dead birds.. More Oil spills.     This one in Nova Scotia- are you AWARE?
Tis the season.  Migration season - these birds don't have a chance.
Shop till you drop time.. 
Forget  this postal strike - Go OUT & shop locally!  Better yet- make a special gift.
Support your neighbours - imagine the impact that would make on your OWN home town/city.  
The impact online shopping is having is already noticeable, especially when it comes to excessive packaging. Noticeably bad for the planet.

We are all responsible for the deaths of each creature.

With times like Trump...   Lest we forget.
War - what is is good for - death, pain, suffering, loss... heart ache.
If I painted a poppy for every Canadian who died in the war(s)  I would not have enough days to paint in my lifetime.  I don't agree with war but I am thankful for all those who gave their life to defend what they believe to be the better way.  

The poor suffer most in wars, the poor lose the most in wars - their lives.. still today - men return from war  damaged due to the violence they witness and are EXECTED to preform - look at he most recent PTSD shooter in the USA - and for what?  Still  - how are soldiers rewarded?  Most are not rewarded, they return and suffer with mental memories which haunt them for life, they struggle mentally, financially, with family and many- too MANY commit suicide.  

Respect is deserved, bow your head for every parent who lost a child to a WAR.
Be silent for every child who never hears a parents voice again - because they had to go to war - what for?   Now we live in a time where many are fearful of a war- caused by a selfish titan who rants on twittter and calls people names- president- no he does NOT deserve the respect to be called president. There is currently a war already going on in the United States -of America a war against anyone who the Donkey thinks is below him - pretty much everyone on the planet.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in France for Remembrance day & I've know doubts he will bow his head in silence to show his respect for our fallen and those who have perished  ALL over the world, because he's just that kind of person - not because he is  our Prime Minister.   I am grateful to those who fought to keep Canada as it is and the fact that WE STILL carry the image of being PEACE keepers around the world!  My mom will be marching in a parade tomorrow & will be carrying a flag - thinking about all she has known and lost including my dad - if you see her  - don't wave and say HI! - lol
​I don't want her tripping or skipping a beat!  hee hee  

100 years  &  how many lives do you think in total  lost because of war?
Rest In peace & Thank you for the ultimate sacrifice - lest we forget.

I wanted to paint something special in my new painting space..  my homeboy emerged.
Good.God.

It is when I am at my most tired and grumpy... there He is lifting me out of the  dark well & making me smile.  My imagined Jesus - I did not look at anything when painting Him I just enjoyed myself and expressed LOVE.  Thought about good times & people.   I WAS in the MOMENT. I was in the NOW, THEN.  hahaha.

Before I knew it I was sketching with a brush Jesus in the garden - the original HOME grown homeboy  -hee hee- growing Gods' medicine.  Cannabis is mentioned in  the Bible fyi. I added some tattoos because Jesus would be and everyday kinda man don't you think?  I doubt a suit & tie guy. ;) and will still add more as I go along, when ever the desire strikes me.   Inspires me.   Lights my spark.  Celebrating with Jesus because there is much to celebrate here in Canada!  Other than excessive packaging and shortages..  and Visually BORING packaging.    lol 

I love Jesus, 'No' -I'm not religious...  just as some love and are followers of The Kardashians (ugh), Brad Pit, Iron man.   etc...    I love Jesus.  He is my homeboy, rock star.. positive role model.  As real to me as buddha to others - he makes me want to be a better person and yes, I feel him close to me  several times during my life when I needed him most. Thank God.
Therefore HE is my saviour more times than I can count.

Someone e mailed  'they don't bother to pray because they're not sure they still believe'.
I responded: If I lose my faith I lose everything. I also believe 'Prayer  changes things.

We should never hate anyone simply for who they love, admire or put faith in..   the power of prayer will have this  guy know hell. This 'MOST recent' shooter in the USA was hate filled fuelled  by TRUMP, anyone who denies this is in the dark! Turn on some fuckng lights - the light inside of each of us... the spark- is LOVE & It can outshine Hate easily.  
Light the spark - GO VOTE. 

Want to see some looks of horror & disgust - wear a 'Make American Great Again' hat in Canada. Hopefully it's just a - in poor taste costume.

Now I have Jesus in my painting room- reminding daily to  SHINE! Do what you love!
& teach only love..  & inspire with art ...

VOTE.   VOTE. VOTE.
Please Jesus!! I believe in the power of Prayer!
Let Americans Make America great Again by VOTING out the DONkey.
Jesus & the Devil on the same blog page.. lol - I know who wins! Ha!

 Today I painted a Halloween tiki! Yesterday a garden tiki.. the day before a pink passionate love filled tiki!  I can't get enough..  I put a piece of wood down, turn up the music, get my girls settled, spark a joint and let my imagination & pencil run wild! YeeeeeHeeeee!  I love painting these Tiki!!  I laugh at myself - I was determined to paint a canvas a day- who knew it was tiki Time? They are more fun that canvas imo, I currently have 3 hanging in my bedroom! I wake up, look over & smile - WAKE up to another CREATIVE day!!  Happy to be Alive - Blessed that I get to stay home with my dogs, paint ART that makes me and others SMILE & laugh,  I don't know what else I could want - well, perhaps the same thing  on a few acres in up North in my own studio..  How will I pack the bluejay?  ;) 

Norm's got the 'Tiki  fever' - like it or not- lol - I think he likes it- he laughs  every time he see's a finished tiki - loved the 'first custom' - he remarked I really "caught the look & feel" of the male tiki in it. I'm glad because after he works all day - he comes home to cut out Tiki! lol & he is building a Tiki Hut display booth!  Why not?  It reminds me of TY booth days gone by...  currently on #17 tiki -but that includes my other 'Tiny Tiki - "Hook-Em-Eh!"  they are called.. what a hit! IF you show up the TWTIKI booth you can 'try  before you buy.'
 We played on the weekend with Storm and had several giggles - I KNOW they will go.
I'll be loading the video on Instagram any day of  my first  Purple passion "Hook-Em-Eh!"   DEMO- hee hee .  These TWTiki are NOT work.. they started with a funny idea, I am truly enjoying creating, thinking, giggling and excited to CREATE each one..   pure pleasure.
That & I realize I'm not thinking about any bullshit or *anyone. 
I'm doing what I am meant to be doing.

The official name is :   TINI Weenie Tiki '  
;D Can you guess why?

I decided to have fun & a giggle with my first Tiki- called "the Shaman" I can not get the Shaman out of my mind for some reason- he's about to do BIG things...  history changing.   You 'meet' him here NOW!  I wasn't sure what to paint 'when at that area' - should I paint 'a leaf' to make it 'kid friendly' -  and I realized - NO- that is part of the problem. Men have penises- fact- we must talk about them and teach kids what is acceptable & not acceptable as soon as possible to avoid any problems in life.  Help eliminate #metoo for our young children before they can say... #metoo.   What better way yo educate than with FUN- and creating an opportunity for conversation - kids will think it's just 'simply funny '- because they are.

Sure enough  when I finally showed Storm after painting the 6th, my own son  said: "Do they have to have a penis??"  LOL!  (eye roll) so - you can thank him for the added detail of the TiniWeenieTiki Skirts - more fun! hee hee hee  - if you don't want anyone to see the 'tiniweenie - don't tell them! Leave the skirt on- I'm not showing any TiniWeenies here!  Hee hee hee - if you want to see you have to come see them in person. ;)

They will be seen on my 'Tree Videos' - how I'll be introducing them on IG. 
'I'll paint a tini weenie penis on this tiki  & ALL of them - to remind us we are all human and not to let our TINI Weenie rule our  big heads. Male & female.  The next thing I knew a complete tiki sat in front of  me - from wood to Tiki - it took Norm minutes to cut it for me & he also paints the backs black & applies hardware & clear coats them to protect them should they be hung outside- but i don't reccomend it- they will get ruined in time - unless you hang them in a sheltered area- like in a covered tiki bar.   These Tiki are good to go - 
Hang in your front entrance hall to welcome your guests or in your bedroom to wake each day with a smile - I know.

The tiki who need one also come with a Tini Weenie Tiki  Skirt - detailed with fun mementos (Provided by the clients for custom) I wire on to each one- SO- only the owner knows whats under that little grass skirt!  Is it a big weenie or a TINI Weenie- No matter - you seen one you seen them all! It's just a Tini Weenie...  no matter, everyone who looks at them smile- and then you cans see as their faces follow it down from top to bottom - a giggle escapes at the awareness of the tiniweenie. It's all about fun.
 
AS I create  I sing, pray  & play with the girls &  I 'bless'  (Ginger took her first dip) every Tiki & as I tie on the tiki skirt - The LAST detail in one of many - I touch that Tini Weenie  & tell EACH Tiki:

Behave!
Be Good!
Have fun!
Maker others Laugh!
Teach Only Love for that is what you are little tiniweenietiki.. created out of love.

The Psilocybin Molecule a.k.a Magic Mushroom.  I can't spell Psilocybin  - I struggle every time- so I understand why they are called Magic Mushrooms.. Where as Cannabis (correct name) - is easier to spell then marijuana (for me anyhow). About the Molecule'...  I do not know the periodic table -do you? Norm & Storm do and Storm also knows how to read Molecules  just like he remembers all the names of the mushrooms - I look at it- even to copy it to a drawing takes concentration to get it right'  lol  never mind have a clue what they  mean- so the education is more for myself - but they look pretty cool here too! No?

I'm enjoying this  3rd Eye Explorers and have already a  large canvas Elephant and another 'cat' sketched out - I woke up today so excited to get back at painting this pachyderm  - up at 6 even tho I hung out laughing with my boy till past 1 - talking about Ravens!  He saw some HUGE ravens and took photos to show me-  he's becoming a Bird lover too! Yippie  
A friend commented to me on my painting - work ethic - how much I paint...  what people do not understand is I must.. I love to paint- have been given the gift -where I can stay home and paint! Oh my gosh- what a blessing that is, I am thankful  - no stuck at some job I can't stand - doing work I don't like.. but I can't work.  Even if I wanted to.

My disease has spread down my right side and has progresses the past few years- I have watched and the hardest part - even worse at times than the TN & constant Twitch has been watching my hands become like they are. Useless -  It feels this way when when I can't even button a shirt or peel a banana- forget peeling an orange- I need assistance. By the grace of God- it seem the one thing i can do easily is still paint! I said easily BUT far from pain free- and back at a big canvas- is an entirely different work out- heavier (some artists don't even realize) brushes and more of a work out on the arms and legs if you prefer to stand- It did'nt use to be like this. I paint through it - I'm a warrior! hee hee hee- my friend Kathy commented that- it made me giggle. I don't feel like a warrior..  I just want to paint.

No excuses! You see.. I KNOW one day I might not be able to do this anymore and I refuse to look back and say - those days I could have painted- I wasted crying in bed- FUCK NO! !!
This brings me to my medicine - Cannabis as soon as I'm up! IT is my GET Going Georgia! We can do this!  Yesterday painting the canvas- I was  forced to break to smoke- or I would have had to stop.  Work ethic - perhaps.. more like  love life ethic.

I've been ashamed to let people see my hands. ;(    Really, I try to hide them- why?!!! 
Why do we in our society feel as though we should hide - I'm still me.  Far from perfect- & so are you.  Some 'look it' - beauty fades, stuff happens...   who knew.  

Be good to your bodies and don't waste  any opportunity to do what you love... It's been a blessing (I understand) that it did happen slowly and I've been able to adapt- I had courage yesterday to come out of the closet and post a photo of my hand on IG - lol- you have no idea of how hard it was to do-  here is my twisted, painful hand - see it paint. FUCK yes!

Thank God for cannabis - or I would not be able to function.
Thanks to my son who grows good medicine and encourages his mom to paint.

Thanks to a friend Abi who sent me baked goods yesterday- I met a lovely police woman on the way back from my mail box and exclaimed  "I just got baked good .."  I was so excited - she laughed and said "Lucky you!",  I kid you not! We chatted a few moments more before Daisy & I were safe back in our home.
 There are always police cruisers in front of my home- I thank them- this road is terrible and they constantly catch speeders with so many kids - it's a miracle none has been killed, she told me another neighbour told her the same thing last week- SLOW the fuck down!!
I see HOW many they catch, I've witnessed to many 'close calls' - if you ask me it's more important than busting someone for cannabis!    They help keep your kids safe.
US safe.  She was lovely  - it was a great day- on to the next!!! After this joint.

 Afternoon Delight.  Wow... I needed that.
This painting was waiting to emerge, more than I realized.
hee hee, I'd say that sky WAS a little boring ..before.
It started with one of my bigger brushes and I threw the paint on -  base color on a white canvas, sketching my bear with a brush instead of a pencil- "just paint!" I remember thinking.  The rest of the days were spent with much smaller brush - as small as a '0' most of the time.
As a matter of fact- it's how the fur was painted as well as the grass. TLC in every stroke.
THC too.   I'm learning to recognize my calmer moments (twitch-less) when I can work on more detailed areas like the face. I enjoyed painting this you have no idea & clarity in severals issues flowed to me like paint off my brush.
F*ck off.   LOL.  
Who needs this negative drama? Not me.  
Frig, Im tired- I think a lot lately- i just want to paint.
Focus on what you love Georgia..  enjoy your time doing what you enjoy most.. whispered my canvas.  

I am tired - I've been waking up every few hours for weeks, I went to the Dr. Monday and he felt what I also discovered recently, a big lump in my arm pit.  It's been causing me pain but I thought it was just stress from a few others things I was trying to sort out'.  Thursday I was already having a mammogram & ultrasound.  The mammogram was not bad at all, btw. 
I've felt worse.
Then I had the ultrasound and I could see what she could see and suddenly there was a big black ball. "Is THAT it??" I asked
...  "Yep, that's it."  
Yikes. That is... disturbing- seeing big black ball inside your body. 
It would take 5 days possibly with the long weekend for results I was told.
It was called already it is a very swollen Lymphnode which I will have to have checked again soon.  I'm told to relax, destress & enjoy. Ha! You don't have to tell me twice.
Before I got the FANTASTIC news I had already resolved that morning (after that great walk I had with my son) - I will rise above! I started my day with CoconutCream home made - bakery cake, fresh pineapple  (the bakery is in Newmarket - I highly recommend, as does Storm & now Norm) & coffee... then I got the call.  I'm Smiling!
YES I AM.  & know to keep on going the direction I am ..rise above with love.
Anger, hate, revenge- I've no time for. 

Who does? it's bad for the body, it's bad for your heart & mind. 
Not to mention -it makes it difficult for me to paint. ;) Truly - I was so tired that after I got the news I slept! lol ;) the body saying RELAX. I JUST finished this bear at 6 this a.m. 

I plan on doing just that. There is nothing like a serious cancer scare to help re align your life.  What matters? Hate begets hate. I can't paint if I feel hate, I physically can't & won't do it to myself.  Think about cancer seriously in your own body and you realize how trivial  so much of 'it' is.  
Thank You God.
I needed that.

Natural medicine is on my mind. The last Mapping of the Minds event educated me further and arrgavated me fruther- one more F*&^%$$$ lie it appears. Mushrooms are on the bottom of the list when it comes to dangerous 'drugs' (on the top was alcohol) or common recreational drugs... even after cannabis! I resent calling them drugs.  I had no idea.  Why are we being lied to? Why are people going to jail over such insanity!  
NATURE.
God put all plants here for all man- OUR CREATOR knew when these plants were placed here- they would HELP US.  *Mushroom are dangerous- IF YOU PICK the wrong ones YOU can die. KNOW your mushrooms- ALL of them. They are also healthy, beneficial and medicinal.  Bear is contemplating life,  Nature & Medicine.

I've included a Star mushroom- puffball', I met a very smart young man on one of our last forays with a cool name who educated me on them and where to find them.. the others are imagined or real- I'm not sure I've seen so many. My Bear Afternoon Delight is out and on my wall, Norm said "Wow, it's like 3D with those dots!" Storm too has commented on the detail several times.  I JUST want to PAINT it does the heart & art Good.

With it- thought, prayers and resolution- it always happens when I paint.
GIVE Thanks! I've already started another canvas! 
YOU know I'm (WE are ALL) celebrating this Thanks Giving!!

I'm still experiencing pain- I shall increase my medicine intake- amen.
& enjoy every second of it.

A  big Bear Hug for the Best Beast'  in the Cannabis Jungle.. 
This lean Leo - he's so sweet - like a big  pussy cat. 
Bear can't resist his purring ways - or that majestic mane with it's white whiskers.
Who said  bear hugs are just for bears?  

King of the Cannabis jungle - no wonder he is smiling. 
Being the month of the Leo I'm enjoying painting lions, this is my favourite to date. 
Bear does not care - the heart wants what the heart wants..  here, there, anywhere. 

'Best Beast  & Bear' hangs above my desk -I hang them on clips on a nail,  it's the one spot  where I can switch them up'.
- Hang your own work, inspire yourself, don't be too distracted by the look of others or you'll never master your own look. 
​
Time to paint more love into the Universe.

I've some lovely Cannabis art around the corner...  stay tooned.
​

I want to start the week on a positive note...
One night while bear was wandering though the forrest alone she heard a faint noise
at first - like humming bird wings fluttering round her furry ears....  singing. 
Who sings in the middle of the night, alone in the forrest?

Broadway Bear' that's who.

​
There he was on top of a tree singing-  "Singing in the Rain!"   There was no rain.
From the second she saw broadway - he made her smile.
He was singing with a smile on his face! Fur glistening not with rain but with moonlight, he sparkled as if a million tiny diamonds danced with him.

"Come on with the rain! I've a smile on my face!"  He bellowed out! 
He was larger than life... up there  on that pedestal &  when he leaped down- he could dance! Broadway tapped all over he forrest, jumping from rock to tree with the ease of a gazelle. All the while Bear watched from the trees,  hidden but intrigued with his moves & voice.. it was honey to her ears.

Broadway knew she was watching.
Broadway was watching Bear for awhile before she even knew he existed. 
As it turns out Bear and Broadway started to become fast friends.. a bit of 'chemistry'  existed between them, so Bear thought anyway.  Bear & Broadway continue to mingle exploring each other.  

Broadway seems to be able to make bear SMILE, his jokes, chats - impressing Bear with his continuous tales &  leaps & bounds'!  He can carve, he's confident, funny, smart, incredibly talented too...  as for his physical appearance - he was bears 'perfect pitch'!  
Bear felt Broadway was a blessing...  she had been praying after all.   

It turns out Bear and Broadway have a mutual love (if not for each other) for Cannabis!  It's what brought them together in the first place, Broadway could smell the cannabis coming from Bears cave.  They wander often into the garden of Love.   Love because it's filled with Gods medicine. They laugh, dance, joke, talk and just BE in each others company, away from the rest of the forest - someone - for a while to feel comfortable, close and cared for. 

Broadways disappears as quickly as he appeared it leaves Bear feeling confused and alone at times...  such is life in the forest.  What's a bear to do?  Nothing,  Bear is USE to being alone,  it's no different.  She does what she loves to do most, create & have a little fun.
Making 'Daisy chains' with Fox and even a midnight dip in the lake...   alone. 

God will send Bear  a companion in the future  to enjoy the forrest with... soon.  
That's what God does.  

With Love
