“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams.  Live the life you have imagined.” Henry David Thoreau

By now, you may have noticed my fondness for quotes; those little nuggets of wisdom, humor, or just good common sense that I include in many of my posts.  I have collected many quotes over these past few years and I am eager to share them with you.  So, may I introduce to you a weekly series that I have chosen to call, “A Quote to Carry You.”  It is here that I hope you will find a bit of inspiration, encouragement, or whatever it is you may need to get your week off to a pleasant start.

As always, I encourage you to comment as often as you wish; I always look forward to hearing from you!

Peace,                                                                                                                                          Felecia

Music, indeed it’s good for my soul…

“Betty’s Cello”, graphite & colored pencil, Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

“I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music.  It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain.  Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.” George Eliot

Music, it gets into my soul…

Out of all of the genres of music, classical, especially the rich, eloquent sound of a baroque era adagio, stirs my being the most.  Oh what emotions clamor and peak, when the intense mingling of the strings of violins and cellos being beautifully played, filter through to my heart!  When I nestle down before my drawing board, Continue reading →

Sisters, so far, yet so close.

Although my sisters are far away, I feel so close to them. 

Sisters - Marjorie

“Marjorie” My big sister; full of life and vibrancy!

My two sisters and I live quite a distance apart.  Marjorie, my older sister, lives in Ohio, while my younger sister, Andrea, lives in Pennsylvania.  Given our busy schedules, to travel to either location from where I am in New York, can be a challenge.  Continue reading →

Colorful reflections….to brighten your day.

colorful reflections of an orange lily with raindrops

“Orange Lily Glistening with Raindrops”, Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

“Dazzling, glistening, beaming, bright… Can you imagine a world without color?”

Mmmmmm, I am listening to the most delicious piece of music by Erik Satie, “Gymnopedi for Piano No. 1”, colorful and soothing. It causes me to reflect upon one morning, not too long ago, when I was awakened by the most brilliant rays of the sun filtering into the bedroom window.  It was the  Thanksgiving holiday.   I’d just opened my eyes for the first time that morning.  I happened to Continue reading →

Almost time to play…

We’re halfway through the week.  It’s almost time to play.

I wrote this poem on a whim after reviewing some scans of my pet portrait portfolio.  This little girl, “April”, always puts a smile on my face; I hope she does the same for you.  Go on, have fun, play…she’s waiting!

Will You Come and Play with Me?

Romp, play, spin around,

Will you come and play with me?

Throw the ball and I’ll fetch it; I may even catch it!

Will you come and play with me?

I’ll chase my tail, I’ll make you laugh,

Will you come and play with me? Continue reading →

Inspire me with what moves you.

Inspire Me!

“African Violets” Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

 Inspire Me…Tell me what moves you; what makes you feel alive.

It has been a while since I’ve taken the time to sit down and write. Words are far too precious to me, and not to be wasted, when I really have nothing to say.  Today I have a word, one that is multifaceted; one that to me, is alive!  What is it, you ask?    “Inspire”!

“Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.”  T.S. Eliot

“Inspire.”  It’s the kind of word that is meaningless, unless it is a part of something; unless it “brings forth”. I am inspired right now.  Creativity is flowing through my veins; it’s radiating through my fingertips!  Can you feel it?  What does it inspire in you?

To be a Father (a tribute for Father’s Day)

To be a Father

“Peonies”, Felecia R. Weber, OntheWingofaDove.com

A privilege, an honor

a treasure to behold,

to be a Father.

An awesome responsibility,

a blessing from above,

never be it taken for granted,

to be a Father.

A source of security, guidance, wisdom, strength,
