There's a sun and a moon in it to represent the passing of a period of time. There's a metamorphosis of a woman figure, who I guess is me, either dissolving into the foliage of coming out of it but showing a sense of oneness with nature. The atitude of the lowest figure with its arms outstretched is a kind of all embracing surrender and humility in the face of a moment. Then with the two figures that overlap there's a sense of a secret being shared or something whispered in the ear and the leaning of one figure to hear it. In spite of its lack of literacy for the moment, the person who it was painted for saw it as a pefect rendering of that moment. So having the four figures in no way clouded the fact that it was an intimacy between two people." **************Biggest Grammy Award surprises of all time on AOL Music.

The figure in the foreground of the painting reminds me of a crucifix. Not my favorite Joni art either, but I guess they had to get her permission to use it.

I think the painting works in the right context, it's 5foot by 6 foot, and it's 4 figures in dance... I'd love to see it... Has anyone actually seen this?

Everybody counts with me, and some *too* much. When Joni's mother died, I couldn't even write abut it. When I saw Stevie Wonder last November, he opened with these words: "May 30, 2006, was the worst day of my life. It's the day my Mother died". I was so moved. And now it's my turn. My Mom passed away on January 16th. People will tell you where they've been They'll tell you were to go But until you get there yourself You never really know. Now I know. I've taken a few weeks to get a good grip on my grief, because I didn't want to be crying on your knees. I've been on a lonely road and I've been processing, processing, processing..... and now I feel like I can finally write. I *have* to because I had many Joni moments on that flight to Utah and all through the trip. Even at my Mother's deathbed. (Don't worry: Joni's heart and humor and humility will help lighten up my heavy load.) When I got to Alta View ICU that morning (it was no Chelsea Morning, let me tell you) I was stunned to find her unresponsive. (Her heart and lungs were failing.) I just sat there in shock and disbelief. (This happened in April, but when I got there then and said: "Hi Mom!" her eyes popped open and she came back, slowly. The doctors said it was a miracle, and I thought it was just the power of love and that I could do this again. Not to be. Last chance lost.) I was holding her hand and talking to her as the tears fell down like wax. Eye paint running down. The nurse asked if I needed anything, so I asked for a priest, to perform last rites. I know one priest in Utah, my Dad's, whom he called "Father Cheesehead" because he's a big Green Bay Packers' fan. He got there in 20 minutes. (I guess he wasn't in the airport bar.) I was so surprised to see him that I crashed into his arms. He's a nice man. He talked to me for a while about my Dad, and then went on to do what he came to do. He did a reading or two (can't remember which ones), and then asked me if there were anything in particular I'd like to hear. "Oh, yes! You read this at my Dad's service and it brought me such comfort. I think it's a letter from Paul to the Corinthians. (Uh oh....here she goes!). Joni Mitchell made a song out of it. Do you know Joni Mitchell? She's my favorite singer songwriter." Maybe it was paranoia, maybe it was sensitivity, but I thought I saw a thunderhead of judgement gathering in his gaze. His eyes narrowed, I swear. I thought: "Oh merde! He's going to be pissed about what Joni wrote about shining on the Catholic Church and the prison's that it's made and the churches that love less and less or whatever and we are going to argue about this at my Mother's freakin' deathbed!" But his face softened and he smiled and said: "Wow. Joni Mitchell. I haven't heard her in years!" (Phew!) Then he apologized for not having that passage with him. (So I sang it later to myself.) I'll stop now and just share with you the obituary I wrote, if you want to meet my Mom. She really was the most loving and sweet Mother one could ever have. I have been blessed beyond words. Her little light shines in me now forever and ever. Audrey JOAN. http://tinyurl.com/36abz3 Hoping you are all well and having a bon weekend, wishing you love and peace, Patti P. P.S. I'm getting out of this dark cafe tonight and going on down to the Mermaid Cafe to FINALLY see Emely Anne who does Joni covers. On her CDBaby page some guy named Bob from SC wrote a nice review of her. I wonder who in the world he might be? http://cdbaby.com/cd/emelyanne I can't wait to meet her and introduce myself as "Patti P. from the JMDL"! ; ) P.S.S.
