somewhere,
somehow, I got there
hidden just beyond where I stood
I heard the sound of water
.. .. I looked beyond the trees
and there it was…
I had arrived..
sight ..sound … light …
Collide..
I am here
now

I wrote this back in the late 70’s… found it today while looking for something else.
Freedom is – a state of mind
Through each moment of the day
We experience, joy, happiness, sadness, anticipation and frustrations.
Emotions, are part of our core
With each breath comes an emotion
How we cope and accept, encounters and interactions with others…
is how much freedom we allow ourselves …
in our journey through life.
To see fragments of life shatter before you
in a glittering array – transcending joy
a new dawning.
thoughts taken from a page of a book I’d stored visual artwork and thoughts such as the above.
It is interesting to see how I captured my thoughts then, & to reflect on them, I think I still see life much the same way… will have to give it more thought though,
I like the contrast of the snow and the quiet moment of reflection in my beach house .. in the virtual world, the weather is always comfortable no matter where we visit, or the terrain we travel. In this world of constant change, we are gifted with new adventures and back drops for our “stories” and “travels”… the newness, the constant discoveries of what IS… makes for a world of wonder. Ours to discover !!!
Today I am a tree, I stand here before you for all to see
My years of standing in one place has meant that I have a lot of memories
of what was, and can ponder on what will be
I know that as the seasons come and go, my history
is in plain view for all to see
my wounds have healed, and many of my arms have been broken
or been taken from me, yet I am patient for I know
that with the passing of time I will return to the earth/ Universe
Meanwhile, I will stand and wait for someone to notice me
I was strong and beautiful in my youth, my outer body is now
textured, my open wounds portraits of my many experiences
I salute you dear friend as you pass by and give thanks
that you did come by to spend time in my garden, my patch on this Universe.
May many blessings of the day shower your life with joy and happiness
Please come again, there may be less of my physical self,
but, always, my spirit will be here to greet you.
PL Precept # 11 Always be with God
Forever, always…..Q
.
When yesterday fades, only a memory remains
With the light of a new day
Comes the realization that come what may
I will never hear your voice again,
or catch you smile from across the room
when you notice that I’ve arrived home safe
Yesterday, forever seemed so far away
But when you took your last breath, those many months ago
I had no choice but to let you go to your final resting place
and now….. now I search in the changing colours of the autumn leaves
for the happiness we shared, as we crossed the miles of countryside
for Mother Nature’s fall palette of golden yellows, rusted orange and reds,
oh how we rejoiced, laughing and sharing in her glorious showcase of colours that shone in the sunlight, bright golds, bronze and tattered greens
the bark on the trees, changing with the shadows as the sun drifted across the autumn skies. Gnarled knots and open wounds showed off their textures on the aging trees, while the young saplings did their best to show they were full of promise.
Life does go on, and we did vow, we would love with no regrets,
I have no regrets … you are here in every colour Mother Nature puts on display
Love is pure and love is true, when you accept that love is here to stay.
Today was spent …missing you.

starlight, star bright, how clear you are this night
I close my eyes and pray
that I will wake another day
For tonight under the stars above
I heard the call of a morning dove
yes, it was far away
still I heard what it had to say
I lay here under your canopy of velvet black
interwoven with dazzling brilliant starlight
feeling the lull and pull of the evening tide
knowing dear heart that you are by my side
I pray the Universe will keep you safe
so in the morning when I wake
your ever present love will take my breath away
for when I pray, I let go and let God
it is the only way*
past,present future, it is all the same.. love is love

a moment in the sun
I close my eyes tight
the moment will not disappear
physically there is no disappearing
my body is heavy
the sun is hot
I feel caught in the moment
my restless mind is stopped
I feel the shade across my face
yet I am in the warm embrace
of a moment that won’t go away.
the heat, the moment
transports me to another time and place
moments ARE forever
they can never be relived.
good or bad
in that moment
you live, the past, present
and yes, the future
the shade will shift
with each breath I take
for my sake
I want the moment
to pass, and let me wake
another day, for
another moment awaits.
Q
PL Precept #18 Each moment is a turning point.
Because I can’t see you, does that mean you are not there… No
Because you spoke and I didn’t hear, does that mean it didn’t happen. No.
Because I can’t see it, does not mean, it does not exist. LOVE IS…

way, way far away, I found myself wandering, a tourist for the day,
how magical it was, how soft and fluffy the snow, of course we all know
dreams do come to an end, yet the memory is so clear, I want to keep it near
see the umbrella, perfect place to sit, we could visit and simply BE, in wonderland, forever and a day. If only you would come and play! =^_^=
To live is to express one’s Self!

I awoke and still you were gone
no more we, just me
there are days when the fog is so dense
so enveloping, I remind myself you are at rest
then do what I can, to do my best – Q
Live each day filled with hope, Even in those situations when you feel trapped with no way out, face every challenge with purpose and enthusiasm and you will always find a way.

take flight under the dark skies or stay and stand on guard
the winds blew, the sky started to clear
the bears danced in place, and we continued on
in Mother Nature’s sweet embrace
sharing in another wonderful day.
Each day is another new adventure. Step out and greet the day. When the heart is open, you will always be amazed at how awesome life on earth can be. With love and friendship by your side, a cloudy day, becomes amazing.
