The expansion during my wellness journey led me to a small museum display on 6th Street in Olde City! A unique display of maps showing Philly creeks and water bodies. The viewing was free. "Curiosity is a great motivator of creativity." c. 2026 Zella Gordon

Though I love the display, the messiness of the actual work process is the most invigorating. Being in the process of creating is the actual joy. The pain is the editing/assessment of balance, symmetry, and color. Artistic value to the craft artist. c. Z. Gordon 2026

Being fully cognizant of what is a stretch; the hyperbole (amplifying situations to create a vivid, dramatic effect.) of internet intrusion can cause chaos to the most organized people.

Don't just clean the house, cleanse your soul! Z. Gordon c. 2026

“The Mole had been working very hard all the morning, spring- cleaning his little home. First with brooms, then with dusters; then on ladders and steps and chairs, with a brush and a pail of whitewash; till he had dust in his throat and eyes, and splashes of whitewash all over his black fur, and an aching back and weary arms. Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its spirit of divine discontent and longing.”

~From ‘Wind in the Willows’ by Kenneth Grahame.

Light After a Year
c. 2026 Zella Gordon

I had a beautification project in mind that began with outdoor lighting as an inspiration in early summer of 2025. Most solar lights illuminate after a day or so in the light, especially in the summer when the sun is most brilliant.
Well,I purchased lights that were inexpensive and long enough for entire length of the fence line. I gingerly installed them thinking in a couple of days I would see the lights shining from the windows. Night after night it continued to be dark and unlit. I completely forgot about them.

Low and behold, I decided to put a load of clothes in the washing machine at 3 AM recently and noticed through the window, a line of lights on the fence and wondered, “What the….?” And then remembered the lights that I had given up all hope that the investment of $3 was worthless.

As I was sharing the story today, the reflection that I received was, “It took longer than I thought for the unit to fully charge.” Mind you, the lights were left in the snow, the heat, the rain; either I didn’t notice or the planetary alignment made it possible for illumination.
So don’t give up on your journey. It may take time to receive a full charge for illumination.

And so this Wellness task enabled me to concentrate on what is important. Life and Living. Sometimes narratives paint mental health as illusionary problems and the reality is far from what is being said. Use Discernment.
