Local Social Network for the Arts Community in Central Valley
It is a fierce love,
that I see
when I look into her eyes.
I can feel the courage in her heart.
She speaks to me,
from a photograph.
I hear
the unselfish determination,
the driving force,
echoing
in the voices,
that tell her story.
The story of Zoraida “Ale” Reyes,
activist,
woman,
defender of the persecuted,
began with a declaration:
I am a…

Difficult to write when the fire is
burning out of control.
Difficult to speak.
I would rather scream,
guttural,
unhinged at the jaw,
mouth agape,
swallowing entire cities whole.
With a knee to the neck,
arms and legs pinned down,
beneath the weight of violence,
blatant disregard to the value of
a human life,
and criminal abandonment,
the soul of a community
beaten and…

Perfección
Como se desencadenan las ideas,
y se libera de este mal?
Amores son como la fiebre,
cuando uno de los dos quiere mas.
En estas cosas de ternura,
solo es riesgo
la verdad.
Si no te ama con locura,
recuerda,
corazón sabio,
que
no tiene ninguna culpabilidad.
Aquí,
no hay nada que se tenga que perdonar.
Así son los amores,
se mueren o se dan.
No vas a perder un…

At this moment,
my heart exploded into sun flowers.
The tips of my fingers, toes and tongues
sprouted beautiful lush greens,
allowing my words to pour out of vines
that ripened into swollen squash ,
with tender creamy yellow flesh.
A new bloom with each step forward .
The fruit ,
settling along the ground I walk on,
growing out in every direction .
The squash open,
seeds pour out at my…

This is my mind.
I guard it with my life.
I have spent too many days and nights,
tirelessly sifting through sand,
gathering up threads and pieces ,
to ever
let it
be lost.
This is my body.
I guard it with my mind.
I have spent too many hours fighting,
to own it.
I cannot give it away to pain
or,
without meditation,
to pleasure,
as though it was…

Yo no creo en definiciones, ni limitaciones
Mi poder esta en mi corazón
En la belleza que traigo por dentro.
Ser mujer
Es mi bendición
Y no dejare
que me detengan
por el simple hecho
que tengo caderas.
Que si puedo ser madre,
Eso a mi
no me limita
Y no me lo…

Because,
I am fearless,
you call it careless.
I am going to stay
without your caress,
which would at this moment
only
serve to stop my
never ending march
to that some where
I am heading to.
Mi alma se esta abriendo,
mis sueños y mis palabras corriendo ,
como un rio descontrolado.
My voice is sounding off like brass notes.
I am growing in stature,
sitting in the…

Promoting the San Joaquin Valley's agricultural theme, much of our art reflects scenes familiar to the Valley. The gallery is on the Blossom Trail and the Fruit Trail routes, and is part of the Sanger Art Hop. Other businesses in the area include the School House Restaurant & Tavern across the street, Sequoia View B&B/Cedar View Winery, and Tivy Valley Winery.

Thanks for the add. I just joined this site to find out what types of artists live in my backyard. So, Aideed, is this site dead? I've been looking at the posts, there are a lot of old ones.
I look forward to sharing more of my art with you.
