The Course

December 4, 2025
The Cours ~ Photo by Patrice

The course 
is level 

The ground
even 

Some move faster
better
than others 

Can you tell me 

What
is
the reason?

Me

December 3, 2025
Me ~ Watercolour Art by Patrice

No more will I be
something
to hold
caress casually 

Oh no not me! 

I’ll be tough 
filled
with anger
spreading hate 

Yes, that’ll be me 

Not because 
I want to
not because
I need to 

Just because
at
this moment  
that’s me. 
~ Patrice  

*It seems this is what many people are living now  😦

Tomorrow

December 2, 2025
Tomorrow ~ Photo by Patrice

Take me thru
to
tomorrow
let me hear
words
not filled
with
deep sorrow 

See creatures
all
big or small
living life
beside of us
no anger
harmony that’s
all 

Take me
to
this tomorrow
let me lie
in
kindness, happiness
all day
every hour 
well beyond
that
tomorrow.

We Colour

December 1, 2025
We Colour ~ Patrice's Art & Affirmation Header Colouring Page

We colour
we have our way
with
pencils and crayons
all
we need today

For
creating art
creating
love and tenderness
along
our way 

Tomorrow
we’ll colour
again
be quiet
let the silent love
flow in 

Let the art
become
all we imagined
when
we began
when we did begin. 
~ Patrice  

* If you feel inspired to colour along with me the first page is waiting…
FREE 
until tomorrow evening

My Art & Affirmations Colouring Pages

November 27, 2025
Art & Affirmation Colouring Header ~ Art by Patrice

I’ll create
my Art & Affirmations Colouring Pages
and
colour here
you’ll watch
listen
you may even cheer! 

But 

That’s not all
you’ll experience
not all
that’ll happen here 

For you too
can be part of the creation
you too
can be here
colouring alongside me
where we’ll be
all together
in
a wondrous atmosphere! 

Join me, I’ll create, we’ll colour maybe sip a little cheer!

You Don’t Get To Say

November 26, 2025
You Don't Get To Say ~ Illustration by Patrice

You don’t get to say
who I am 

You don’t get to tell me
what to do 

No, no
not you 

I am the master
of
my universe
my own adviser
telling me
guiding
me
through 

All you can do
is
join me on this venture 
this life
I’m living 
today and everyday 

That’s
what you can do.

You Haven’t Been

You Haven't Been ~ Photo by Patrice

I know
you haven’t been
all
I want you to be 

But 

 Have I been
all
you need
all you seek? 

Likely not I feel
I see
I think.

Constantly In The Morning

Constantly In The Morning ~ Photo by Patrice

Constantly
in
the morning 

Totally
all 
the day 

I’ll move forward
singing praises
for
those
that made
it
this way.

Lick Your Wounds

November 21, 2025

Patrice's avatarPatrice’s Art & Poetry Blog

Lick Your Wounds ~ Watercolour painting by Patrice

Lick your wounds
Forget your ego
Dust that battered self off
While looking
To the future 

See what’s best for you 
Feel no regrets
Lose no sleep wondering why
What happened
Happened 

Don’t go deep inside self-pity
Know this was a message
Sent 
To keep you well
Moving forward 

Not
Skipping a single
Beat. 
~ Patrice

Can I Be

November 20, 2025
Can I Be ~ Photo by Patrice

Can I be
the one you love 

Can I be? 

Your heart is open
full of kindness
expressing gentleness
it seems 

But is it for me? 

Can I be
the love you love
for
all eternity? 

Can I be? 

I hope so
for
I love you
all so much
you see. 
~ Patrice
