up up and away

DC88_003

Ever feel that you are living in another world

where reality and dreams intermingle

when light and darkness become blurred

and where multiple objects become one – single

there no longer is any definition

what you know or knew is merely intuition

every nerve ending comes alive

shivers and then reclines

building and ebbing

emotions once so balanced 

soar, going up up and finally away

you are spent, your mind blow away

is it night, is it day

you don’t care, 

you are no longer aware

of where you are

you are now a shining star

bright and alive

in a dimension of your own

totally content

twinkle twinkle little star

how I wonder

just where you are.

The dragons have been slain

You no longer feel the pain

Now only your light remains.

Voices

DSC01445 in dreams the impossible seems out of reach we climb, stretch and jump towards our goal yet we are tethered to the ground                                                           our feet seem cemented in the past                                                                                                                                                                    how long will this journey last “who knows and who cares” says a voice inside my head                                                                                                                         ” I do, I do,”  says a quiet calmer voice from somewhere within                                    ” oh” says the mind,                                                                                                                                                                                                   “ YOU are still here”                               ”  of course”  the quieter voice replies,” I’m always here                                                                                                                         look down at your feet, they moved at the sound of my voice” The choice is to know that we are always moving forward, in time, once the moment is lived, we can never relive it, know this and move on. Let go, trying to hold on, only holds you back. When we trust and believe that we are here to progress and live our lives to the fullest, we are on the right track.

Blessings all, travel safe in your journeys  today.

morning gospel!

road less travelled

 

Turn right, turn left

and you are there

take time to enjoy

for now you have arrived

yes, you have arrived, nice

but wait, once there, you 

need once more

 to take to the road

cuz home you must go

home is where we begin

and where we end

when will the journey end

no one really knows

we are here to explore

test our convictions

learn and grow

one day ends

another begins

no more

no less

Creative start to a new day

sunrise   -going up by Adrian Moysey on Fivehundredpx

Dispelling the darkness of night

a new day begins with the shining,warming sunlight

Take a step forward today, reach for that special prize

Throughout the ages, with every new sunrise

prayers are said, meditations are practiced

the body exercised, a new page turned

The spirit grows stronger with each passing day

live with full makato*, take in all that there is to learn

Today is a brand new day!

Mosaics

rabbit mosaic by Doreen A Smaligirl

White Rabbit 1-b by Doreen A Smaltigirl on Flickr.

 Mosaics – how time-consuming a real work of love.  Not something I would attempt. Nor do I always feel an appreciation for the craft.  Seeing this piece on a rabbit running, looking at his time piece, reminded me of the Alice in Wonderland story and the Mad Hatter.  To achieve this delightful piece of art, the artist had to first visualize what  he/she wanted to achieve.  The many hours (days,nights, even weeks) would have been spent putting it all together.

So it is for many of the projects we begin in life that are part of our own “make over”.  There isn’t a day goes by where someone I know isn’t doing something  or preparing something for … when???  If I do this now I’ll have time to do XYZ  later.  Its called planning ahead. Me, I no longer maintain that activity in my “top drawer”   I don’t really know when this “habit” changed, somewhere along the way, unconsciously it went down to a “when I get to it” drawer.

This is another craft that requires attention to detail, planning and patience.  I look at this and my mind is in awe of the time and the focus that this artist had to have had to complete this piece.  My kudos to both creators of the works shown in this blog today.  My hat is off to both of you.

My creative level today leans towards scrambled eggs.  I kid you not…

 I was late, I was late

for a very important date

 you were not forgotten !

it was only a question of when

finally, the moment came

 happily my enthusiasm hadn’t waned

I may get behind

but YOU dear God, are always

ever present in my mind

amen

Fire and ice

fire

Like a moth to a flame I was drawn

at first the call … was a simple spark

then the  fire spread…

my gaze  held captive… by  dancing flames

 I was lost… lost in the embrace of

of an unearthly man made calm

<> on January 23, 2013 in Chicago, Illinois.

A blazing fire turns to ice as seen in this photograph (CBSlocal.com) – Firefighters battling a massive fire, during frigid temperatures. (Chicago 1.23.13)

fire coal and smoke,  desktop-wallpaper.org

When love first blooms, the fire’s spell spreads like molten lava

weaving highs and lows that ignite and burn deep and deeper

all too soon the fire’s intensity starts to weaken

Only the dying embers remain

…and…

soon they will be gone

leaving only the memory

no more … no less

fire picture yoga pose

The eternal flame within,

our own true passion

 the Divine essence of Life

never dies, never fails us

for we are born ONE

fire molten

True everlasting  love

is not outside our SELVES

but the spiritual flame

that gives us life.

now … always

Welcome the day

we met, we talked, we danced,

the world went from dark to light

explosions came and went

and,   just like that

one life ended

another began

Tender are the moments shared

Silent in my private world

I’ve waited for you

Today is brand new

I welcome you

Friendships

1476201_573214786098330_83056538_n

Why I am not blue

and why I’m not missing you.

 a new morning begins each day
and always the night will slowly sink away

You my friend are always with me

Friendships that are true

will stand the tests of time, and will always be

love is not a measurement of time

it is a true connection with the Divine

it is knowing and believing

we are ONE

I do

words are mine, Q

On a quiet day

On a quiet day

Along the winding banks of a gentle waterway
I slowly made my way
taking in the ambiance and history
while listening to the cicadas sing away
soon, it would be time to leave this hideaway
part of me wants to stay
I feel so ” at home”  here
PL(Perfect Liberty) is my way
the only “Way”,  to all that I hold dear
back home now, that yesterday
is so very much a part of my today,

Now Forever and Always, I will live the PL Way! …  Q …

Welcome each new day with renewed appreciation,
step forward with a feeling of love and peace in your heart

Love filled blessings to you dear readers, may your day be as blessed as mine.
