'Now the crickets are singing...'

Thank you thank you immeasurably Leonard Cohen, I hardly know where to begin, for the light and profound grace, the poetry and music ... the humour too... for the spaces and tones and nuances between the light and dark, their beauty, shapes, playfulness, seriousness, literariness, colour, sparks and excitingly warm possibilities...the spaces I love...  and for helping me for almost 30 years and however many more...

 You are so very present always

To more gentleness and poetry in the world. 

Gentle this soul




'Ahh the crickets are singing
The Vesper bells ringing
​The cat's curled asleep in his chair...


...

She said, "I'll be with you
My shawl wrapped around you
My hand on your head when you go"
And the night comes on

And it's very calm...'


Goodnight Leonard Cohen x​

...And on poetry, designing a building...a country and Dylan's 'fading into the parade'. Oh, I love this 10min interview - such beautiful, authentic, aware, wonderful & creative responses...the questions appear to try to label him or box him in, but they stand no chance! ...



​'The Guests' with photos by Henri Cartier Bresson...so beautiful

Also... another wonderful Leonard interview x

Happiness with a new domain

3/11/2016

Such a little thing for some but a big thing for me and a sign to myself that I'm taking developing my business seriously ...

At last I have purchased my own domain name to have a more professional website

www.rowenascotney.com 

(glad it was still available :-))

For over two years I've tiptoed around doing this  - a mixture of uncertainty, lacking confidence, not fully committing...but now I am! 
​


​ Slowly, slowly and all unfolds so beautifully ... :-)
