Sometimes

mirror 4

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

time clocks

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.

Oyahsikiri

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

smiles and send you lots of love

from my place in time

xx0

beyond awesome

USA grand canyon

to live each day, moment by moment

taking in everything, we see, feel and experience

some days, are good,  some are great

and then, we have an extraordinary day

with a beyond awesome awareness

that leaves you grasping for the words

to express what you are living

in that instant and moment in time

fascinating that no matter where or when

these moments happen

a new world opens up before you

‘and nothing can be ordinary again

time stands still,

the total surrender to the moment

it is like seeing the world for the first time

the wonder, the vast expanse of Universe

and our unique ONENESS

brings body, soul and spirit

in that second of realization

to a state

of beyond awesome.

Bom dia, tudo bem? how are you today?

China Huxinting Tea house,Shanghai

i sat and stared

my eyes saw

my mind withdrew

such beauty, so structured

did anyone live there

CHINA temple of heavenwas this in my past

did my ancestors really

live in this enchanted world

I am drawn to the calmness of the water

and the mirror image of the sky

water feature

in my garden,

I find the water feature soothing

the sound of the clear water

as it falls in a gentle cascade

to ripple and gurgle

on a hazy summer day

buddha garden

yes, I do believe

this day is ending

and I am already heading

towards a gentle unwinding

gradual closing of today

all things are possible

every moment of our lives is a treasure

we are part of a fantasy and dream

life is a continuation

of now

Till soon

down the road

6843e75bef940c18c6cd45e71eb4d1bd

how many times have I driven down a country road

windows down, taking in the fresh clean air on a fall day

some years past, I even road a Honda Gold Wing

and experienced the countryside in a brand new way

Tennessee Mountains

no matter the method of travel

the experience was always the same

I longed to explore down the unpaved roads

towards the  farms and small hamlets

we discovered along the way.

67663e7f005429296548d1f7cdb7694a

sometimes I did, but often, the lure of what was around the bend

kept us on the secondary highways…, and soon that  barely visible lane,

was but a memory.

05c9f8ba9c0763ee8800904e644968bc

Before it’s too late, and the snow has covered up the trails

I’d like to go and explore, to rediscover

the smell of freshly turned earth, hay being harvested

even the spreading of manure.

f8eeff81eb0cb4bcd4d4cc7c3f42fdae

Not all the leaves are on the ground yet,

there is still a myriad of colour

for the artist to discover

best of all, the trees will be showing their form

their bark, their broken torn or twisted limbs

sculptures like no other. no longer

will their dramatic shapes be hidden or concealed

by their cover of showy summer foliage.

fae69ab7dc99adb7ffbfa3519d160c58

when we cross the bridge, should we turn left or right

let’s take the road, that has no end in sight

this is our moment, our time

let us make it sublime

on the road again

Scotland, by ouldm01Ar this time of year,

the fall colour beckons

the call is mysterious and haunting

the sky no matter,what time of day

can’t hide the magnificent display

of Mother Nature’s awesome art

she uses every ruse at her command

to tantalize and entice us

by hooking up to all our senses

8c327b8be402599ce2dbaa71b14bd2a7

Like a spider she spins her web

we don’t even see, or notice… till it is done’

the intricate pattern, the ability to create such beauty

with such methodical precision yet delicate and balanced

4cb142b249d3db60ad4badd9fbe9a4b9

we really are, part of a master plan
our reality and observations

change from day to da

so no matter where we are,

where we go

nature is all around us

frog in tree

ok, taking off to enjoy the day

you coming?

and NO.. this is not a selfie

cookies

3487149b6a71cf52bf62e66957bd4fa8Oh look, there is a cookie monster

looking out at me…

there are days when like this character

my days are filled with too many things that matter

into my office I run

doing my best to forget that beckoning sun

however, the sun shines through the window

and no matter what…. I know

I should make time for some fun in that bright happy sun

But. but…. if I don’t work on my  art now, or at least make a start

tomorrow, there will be that much more

and I will not think that today’s decision was very smart

569c983c9485c70b287a437534098fdc

The open skies beckoned

I wanted to travel to  someplace new

but….. today wasn’t going to be the day to wander

instead I applied myself to the artistic expression that I’ve wanted to share

I spent hours researching and preparing

took time to asses and ponder

did I succeed, I think I did

the cookie monster  held open the can lid

and let the sunshine in =^_^=

ff940cc056e380232e9324153d7eec39

half way through the day, I got to visit with a friend

what a pleasure that was

I would have missed that opportunity had I gone out

so you see, there is always a reward and a positive

when we listen with a clear intent

to the little voice inside our head

now cookie monster can close the lid

and I can go to bed.

Here’s a hug to keep you snug

Sometimes I am at a loss

Sometimes I am at a loss

the words will not come forward     9e419a34c708b9f212d55495df1ead08

to be released, spoken and heard

Instead, I feel the emotion

start in my head, and work its way down

to the soles of my feet..

They say the eyes can often

be the window to one’s soul

Yet, I know when I am not angry

the sparks that glitter from my eyes

are not a reflection

of what I feel inside

NO, of course I’m not hiding

it is only that what I feel

and what I want to say

get lost inside my head

I feel the pull, I feel the need

but to feel is not to comprehend

there are times when what is said

is not what is really in my head

Like i say, sometimes, I’m simply at a loss…

has my ability to speak died, am I dead

of course not.. it is merely that at times

it is not what is said, but rather, the actions

of the moment, like when you fall out of bed

8e30fda3daff00573e6d80afe596d4f2

when the world says wake up…

and you still want to lie in bed

sometimes that can’t be done

it just happens that way

one minute you are alone

and the next…. someone else

has stepped into your head

and now

the words that come unbidden

to the conscious mind

leave you at a loss.

like bamboo

I will go my way

yesterday was yesterday

and today, will be today

such is the way

when all we do and say

is lived in one day

me you

new Monday

It’s Monday…. oh dear…. the start of another week.  Wonder what is on the agenda for today… last week seems so far away, Had I made plans, are my days all booked.  Seems strange that last week, I thought this week was going to be clear … and I would have lots of time to explore.

The weather really doesn’t matter, I’m still left to ponder all on my own, of just what or how and when, this day will come to and end.   The excitement of life comes from expressing our individuality. We are born with a one of a kind personality and individuality, or unique character, that is ours alone.  In order to express our ourselves fully, it is important for us to live each moment to its fullest.  With our out most makoto (sincerity)

Switzerland

There are times when we are faced with which or what path we want to be on.  It really doesn’t matter if you go left or right, what matters that whatever you do, is what you want to do, and that you travel the path taking in each moment as best you can.

Resting Stop on The Sshores of Lake Sils, Switzerland

The 1st of the month we celebrate, Day of Peace.  Today and everyday, let us, no matter where we are, work towards wold peace. What ever you decide to do today, do it well, if you have time, sit for a spell… and enjoy the day, give thanks for being part of a world that holds an abundance of love, joy and laughter, we need only cultivate it in our lives.  Peace be with you.

Once

FI fell in love……once……..

and then by chance,

it happened again…….

each time i thought, this is forever……

how silly, how young, how unprepared

for the passion of erotic bliss

there is a difference

you do know this….. of course you do

there is lust and there is sex

but when young what do you expect

true love comes from within

lasting love is a gift….

it begins with knowing how to care

really care for the goddess/god within

Once….. you have tasted and known such love

there really can be no other

the giving of one’s self, is not a solitary action…

In nature, there is a force that builds from within

how it is released is known only by the force that holds the key

volcano,Mt. Helen erupts

once, I recognized that love was not

a physical connection

that spiritual makoto (sincerity) was the main ingredient

the once, became forever

Iceland,Eyjafjallajokull

no matter the conditions, no matter what is on the surface

the eternal flame lives within

once fanned, it will grow and flow

Hawaii, National Park, by Greg Vaughn

oh yes, false and fake eruptions can be reproduced

apple erupt

man-made, they won’t last, there is a lot of fizzle and then poof, its gone

when you truly allow Nature to erupt in all its glory

the moment will live/love on..  history has been made

Keep-smiling
