“Our Wedding Day" by Ronan Hardiman, from Donna's music collection - that
she so enjoyed
Above: Donna Darkwolf on our Wedding Day. A hypnotizing vision of elegance
and Grace.
Donna shared the track with me off YouTube, a short while before her mission:
"let's get married again :D".
Such is my shiny wife.
Women are more spiritually attuned to the Universe, and sensitive than
men.
And, a Witch is VASTLY more spiritually attuned, and sensitive than any
ordinary woman.
Live with that. For surely, if you do not - you will not discover magick!
Meeting the Pagan Arch Priestess Donna Darkwolf for the first time is
an experience. One comes into a Presence. Words failed me. . .
Sublime grace, coupled with intense scrutiny. Like an alert tiger.
When she travelled in Egypt, people on the pavements would call out "Nefertiti!
Nefertiti!" Who was the Queen of ancient Egypt.
"The Beautiful One has Come!". because of her robes, her penetrating blue
eyes, her regal posture. And her patrician NOSE!
People followed her through the streets of Cairo, and some tried to touch
her hand.
Donna flowed through it all.
Untouched.
Like a mermaid in water.
Ai ai ai ai ai...
Ai Mi Amor
Ai Mi Morena
De Mi Corazón
Ai - the Dark-haired girl of my Heart
La Bella María de mi Amor - You live with someone, you never imagine a
day without them. Cherish these short hours. They arrive sooner than you
CAN expect.
Most images click-to-enlarge, others dont. You'll find out...
The Beautiful Wife of my Life. Our wedding night.
Graceful dining by candle light with my Bella Strega. Even dining was a ritual to be done with love.
Not the Smile of Happiness - but the inward Smile of Secret Knowing. The
contented Smile of of Deep Wisdom. A fathomless smile.
Donna smiles not at YOU, but through you - into your being-ness, when
she notices that you have become aware of something.
I was snapping these photos of her as she marched so resolutely out of Durbanville Medi-Clinic.
I dreamed her all my life. She is in many of my Fantasy and Sci-Fi paintings,
playing many characters.
Then, after 40 years, I found her and married her.
She combs her hair / She's like a Rainbow. My Immortal Donna leaves a trail of stars across the parking lot, as we head for hr Sunday birthday breakfast.
This is What You Came For -
"Everybody's Watching Her . . .
But She's Looking at Me", as the song goes.
The Darkwolf dressed for our honeymoon dinner at the Lord Milner Hotel Chapel.
A "painterly" version of The Moment
Her face as serene as cold, sculpted marble, hands relaxed and sure, as WOLF races his chromatic beastly way - through the blurred country-side.
"You consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the Scylla and Charibdes
Hypnotized by you if I should linger
Staring at the ring around your finger"
A striking portrait of the beguiling Donna Darkwolf, painted by one of her students as a gift.
My wife, The Jester. Donna had some incredibly fancy head-gear in her collection of decorative clothing for any occasion.
Donna dressed for Christmas lunch at Babylonstoren Wine Estate. She is
ALL I wished for.
And she is all I GOT for Christmas. She is Perfect.
Donna on a Sunday - working in her faerie garden.
Donna at a quiet moment in her office.
I see a red door / And I want it painted black
I see a line of cars / And they're all painted black
If I look hard enough / Into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me / Before morning comes
The resturant was not serving on the balcony this day.
So I got this perfect shot of My Shiny Wife. With her driving glasses
on.
Witch Incognito. I get to take a pretty witch to dinner.

about The Foam on the Sea.

A private joke. Over a lunch, Donna had mused: "After I am gone - there
are other fish in the sea".
I responded: "Damn you, Donna. You ARE my Sea". Which led to a clink of
glasses and much laughter.
And she really has the "Voice".
