lost in time (a morning prayer)

another day goes by

and still I wait

under the clear blue skies

I watch one cloud slowly make its way

to another cumulus cloud

as they merge into one another

my thoughts return to another time

when I was young

in my prime

life was different then

so many fun encounters

young and old

spent time with me

now each new day brings

the trees reach out to give me shade

and the long tall grass

whispers to me softly

as they lean into me

I don’t see as well

with the passing years

my eyes have clouded over

but I know you are always

with me God

that makes every moment

worthwhile

I sit and enjoy

my fading years

another stranger will pass by

and capture me in lens

for whatever state I’m in

the glory of my life with you

will shine through

for

I am one with you

PL Precept # 11 Always be with God

Happiness is

Finding this display of Chinese eggplants

Finding this dogwood in its brilliant display of colour

Finding this bouquet of flowers just for you

I am but one person,

yet today my heart overflows with an abundance of love and joy

and I owe it all to YOU

Guess who went to bed and didn’t plug her cell phone in to recharge, first two guesses don’t count. Usually no big deal, however, in an efficient mode these past months, I’ve been doing a tidy up. You know how we can get when the season is changing, especially from winter to spring. “We never use our land line” said I. let’s get rid of it, we both have a cell phone, that will work out just fine.

Good idea, right.. the hands free phones stationed all over the house for ease of access, went bye-bye. I admit there was a feeling of relief as one more item on my want to do list, got a tick mark beside it. For every action there is a reaction. I had my cell phone number changed to the main home phone number, so that worked out fine, more or less. Calls I got for “the husband” simply were rerouted to his number. BUT what happens then when our phones are not nearby, and we don’t hear them ring (ah HA! I got a blue tooth thingie, and I can answer mine from most parts of the house as long as the phone is within “striking” distance ,1,2,ever 3 rooms away .. NOT if you are not wearing the bluetooth

Or if you are busy working on some project, like making greeting cards for the Church sale coming up in June (18th) and you are working with a sticky glue, that sticks to you, but not the card stock!!! The handy hands free that used to be by the desk is gone, your phone is in need of a change, and your blue tooth gadget is ??? somewhere on your other desk in the clutter there.

That golden moment when you remember, your new set up, the cell phone has call answer and voice mail, YAY, so what your fingers and hands are full of sticky glue, you phone will take a message. All I need do, is find Hubby to get the SSS (Skin so Soft- Avon) great for taking away sticky stuff .. I’m sure somewhere there will be a website that will tell you of all it is claimed to be good for. For us, it’s getting the glue/sticky off.

The start of a brand new day

open the window wide

take in all that comes your way

for only today

will you live the golden moments

for tomorrow, they will

have flown away.

There is always a positive to a negative

Yin/Yang

the two compliment each other

and become ONE

Sometimes

there are times

when inside all I feel is a void

no this is not a negative

it simply is what is

there is no colour

there is no theme

the space between my ears

is simply a blank

the hands on the clocks

keep track of the time

but my mind is impervious to its call

I am not unaware

I simply do not wish

to be disturbed

writers note… I hit publish before I thought I was done..

but since it posted, I am going to leave it..

for obviously I was done,

whether I thought so or not.

so be it.. today is just such a day!

smiles and send you lots of love

from my place in time

fairy tales and beyond

Many of you will remember the story of Cinderella and the glass shoes. It has been interesting over the years watching as the storylines that are shown, in the “romantic” interest themes are so different. Today’s young do not wait for their prince charming to come and rescue them from their life of toil and grime.

I felt the hurt, a couldn’t stop the single tear from falling

you saw my pain, and gently wiped it dry

We played with dolls, we dressed them, told them stories, cared for them, till the time came, when they were put on a shelf, and left there to amuse themselves, they were part of our past.

we fell in love, every day was sun filled

I walked on air and saw every petal of the single rose

you brought to me each day

I dried the petals and safely tucked them away

I knew I would keep and cherish them all my days

Time changes us, sometimes we stay on the same path that our love is on, and often times, as the world opens up to us, we find ourselves in different parts of the city, coming home only to eat, sleep and then we return to the life we have in another part of the “world’…. yes world, because the world we shared with someone at a different time and space, is now no longer where our daily focus is.. Our world has gotten bigger and with it, our thoughts and wants are no longer the same.

One day I asked myself, what was in that pretty vase

for I had long gone past the time

when it was part of what I did that mattered in my every day.

Some of us, can smile, remember the memory and move on. We clean out the vase, and either give it away, or put it to another use … something more in step with how we are … today…

Once upon a time

this was an acreage of vibrant life

that rang with the call of birds,

who had their homes in the trees that stood there

now the land has been cleared

the wild life that had called this area their home

have had to move on

change is the only constant in life

fairy tales, are a part of growing up

the reality we live

through our journey in life

the character we build

the lessons we learn along the way

these are what takes us into beyond

Love is everywhere

love IS forever

material possessions are temporary

the only love that last forever

is one that is free to BE

True love transcends all earthly boundaries

and it all begins

within

a silly nilly

Let’s start with last night I had a headache, sometimes, we just get them, and, well, we deal with them right….

we do live in the city, it can ge noisy with all the activity that happens in the neighbourhood

my furry friends did come to snuggle and did their best to chill me out

finally after a lot of this and that I was comfortable enough to sleep

When, yep… the boys next door start to play

we all have our own way of seeing ourselves, but really, I’m so tired right now, I’m going to show you my latest selfie

Yup, here I am, ready for the Dinkyville celebrations, wearing my special all time pendant, got my hair done, made myself a new outfit so when I’m on stage with my bass guitar, I’ll be the cutest kitty ever. errrr …. who is dreaming now.

The end, silly nilly moment gone.

when time stands still

Times stands still when I spend time with you

some how the air is cleaner

my breathing lighter

the environment calms me

no neon lights

no blaring noises

just the singing of the breeze

as it gently weaves around the leaves and trees

the play of sun and shadows

a gallery of visual wonders for my eyes

the symphony of the wild life that abounds

music to my ears

All dear God/Nature/Universe

because you are with me

now forever and always

loving YOU is my life

mes plaisirs -my pleasures =^_^=

I drove by and had to stop

your beauty caught my breath

…. I just knew … I wanted more

parking the truck,

I carefully got out and walked across the layers of

crystalized ice that lay on the path

would I get to you in time

or would the bright noon day sunlight ..

soon….temporarily be covered by a cloud

I am closer now, and I can see that the mantle of glistening ice

every little space has been

covered by frozen droplets of ice

not so nice to walk on

but it certainly has graced your outline

with a gem like brilliance …

… be assured that I will share

this moment in the sun

for unlike many others

I do not see you as menace

but rather … a mischievous winter elf

who threw diamond droplets

into the frigid air

giving us a glimpse of

a miniature wonderland

where wee folk enjoy their winter play

Note – when I first saw this snow, I was driving in so I saw it from a different angle, when I parked I had to go further into the lot. Walking back to the “sight that caught my eye” I was struck by how beautiful it was from this direction too. In drawing closer, the highly defined shapes I had seen driving in, were not the same, so I tried to walk around to see what I had seen on driving in,

Fact… the moment had passed. for me to get the exact picture, I should have stopped the truck, right then and there, either put the passenger window down and tried to capture it then, BUT had I gotten out of the truck it wouldn’t have worked either because my sight line was at a different level. Don’t you love the BUT moments.

All said and done. I took my pictures, and checked them out when I got home.. What you see when you are standing right there.. at that moment… is not always what your camera captures. In this case… almost, but not quite.. why.. because the actually brilliance and shading that were true to my naked eye, did not or were not picked up in the same way by the camera’s lens

LIFE is ART…. PL Precept #1 Life is Art.

The situations we find ourselves in, every day, are much like I described above. No two people will ever see the exact same thing.. they may on an overall big picture, show and tell. But each person responds to the stimuli in her/his own way. If they were both able to capture it in a photo, the two photos would not be exactly the same.

We accept these difference in every day, situations, why do we have such a hard time, accepting when friends or loved ones, “see” life’s experiences in a different way than ours. “Food for thought”

venez vibrer au rythme de vie

come vibrate to the rhythms of life

let us a create a melody of

peaceful harmony

You – Me

looking back

It really was just another day on the road. We stopped, and I got this feeling that we were being watched. You cannot see in this picture, but in the darkness of the woodlands, was a deer checking us out…. well ok, I can’t say for sure it was a deer, but it had four legs, and piercing eyes.

I tried for another look, at that time I was using a digital Minolta, I confess that I am not a stealthy hunter when I cross over brush and fallen logs to get a closer look. At the time, I didn’t know about phone cameras where I could see what I was stalking. It is in clearing an area on a shelf for a new acquisition ( an airplane clock) that I found the delinquent disk, with pictures from “another time”- labelled Bancroft.

From the pictures of the interior of the darkened woodland, I see I was determined .. and was not going to just walk away. I’m happy to say that this stubborn streak is still with me, much to the chagrin of others. Now looking back many years later, what I have to show for this adventure of mine, is pictures of a forest woodland that held on to its mystery and mystic, why share the pictures, it’s a case of you had to be there… really there to appreciate the moment. =^_^=

MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA – gone gone gone, replaced many moons ago.

I have no idea what this last picture is all about, but decided to include it since there is so much black in the other pictures. As a photographer, you have to accept that some of your artist captures, are not always, A1, but for sure, they all capture that moment in time, when you thought Ah Ha….

some one, or some thing

watched in the shadow of the trees

drawn to the feeling of being watched

I let myself be captured by the slight movement of the leaves

as always when totally caught up in the moment

my heart did a little dance

my sense of awareness went into over drive

would we connect

would my lens find its mark

no matter, I had to pursue my need

to capture what I couldn’t really see

this adrenalin is pure, it comes from within

the artist in me is alert

for in a nano second, I’ll press connect

to the instrument in my hands

the moment passes, the thrill happened

will the climax be complete

when I look at the

picture on the screen

no matter what

I lived the moment

and the picture

that I will see

will be

a forever reminder

that in that second

I was part of life

in that space and time

Do you believe that you are always connected to the Universe, and that, there are times, you are drawn to produce, or create something, because it just feels right..? I believe that we are all artists in our own way, sometimes, what we do, is clear, the picture, a “master piece” It conveys something to the artist and the viewers alike. Other times, it is a reflection of a moment that came and went. No more, no less.

Just be

Raven – crow

friends, forever,

you are my brother, my kin

we wander and forage together

I see above the trees

you bring foes to their knees

together our life begins

no enemy will be let in

Wolves and crows have long been known to socialize. A crow/raven is smart, and wise, often acting as a scout, when they are out and about together. Amongst themselves, the black bird will share with friends, and spread the word when it finds something to “crow” about. Ravens are said to activate the energy of magic and links it to our will and intentions. When we accept the Raven/crow, we are helped to take unformed thoughts and to make them reality.

One of my earlier stories featured, Rocco a black crow that came into our lives, and with his strong personality, he took us on some wonderful adventures in a forest not far from our home, It was with his guidance that I met the most interesting “personalities and characters” that dwelt in the forest, on the floor and in the trees.

Imagination is a wonderful blessing. Through the raven I have learned and heard many stories come to life within my inner realm of words. What is it about the crow/raven that fascinates some yet totally repels another. No one really knows. I find them to be my kin, I love their conversation, and their opinionated calls. When they come together to enjoy some social time, they can be very lively and vocal…. when they are deep in thought and searching, their silent energy can be intoxicating, for they focus with determination, and fly with their radar on. All their sense in alert mode. They remember friends, and know their foe. In a study done it was determined that the New Caledonian Crow can make inferences about the behavior of hidden animals in its environment, an ability previously observed ony in humans (Los Angeles Times)

They can be ornery and loud, but who can say they are never loud or get ornery. For me, when the crows come back and begin to tell their tales, I know that spring is on its way. Always they come back, they crow, they call, and when I finally appear, they tell me of their holiday, and I smile from ear to ear, .. they have so much to say.
