The Valley

A river runs through it
full of stones...and rocks
many that I have thrown in
over the last 16 years.
There is an energy that is calm and clear.
Many summer naps I've had
under the willows
by the river
while the dog played.
Wet and excited she'd wake me
dripping water in my face
and dropping one of those river rocks beside me.
Those years are gone now
but the memories remain.
Caught in the river
tangled by the breeze
in the willow
waiting for me to draw near.

mirror

in the stillness

the clouds can see

their wonder

reflected

so that they can see

Singing In The Rain

walk through life
sing away the strife
dance in the rain
and become happy again
the song in your heart
.¸♫♫¨* sung....it has many tunes  ♫♫¨*•
but if you stifle that song
the words may slip away
but the melody will always remain
in the beating of you heart.

Listen to it  ♥∗¸.•*¨*✽♥∗ღƪ(ˆ◡ˆ)ʃ

a little stone of thought

#smallstones The Path We Walk Upon

THE PATHS WE WALK IN LIFE
ARE MADE OF MANY THINGS
THEY MEANDER, TWIST AND TURN
AND ARE SOMETIMES HARD TO SEE

 

My friend Joseph Pagen said

  " Let the universe see itself through your eyes. Walk in silence, walk in love "

 

his words turned on a river in my mind

 

 

We are manifestations of the universe, here to experience life in a bazillion different ways, from blade of grass to eagle and clouds flying across the sky to human

and in this manifestation of life we have control over what we see, and what we create

and when our journey on this plane is over I believe  we return to the wonder of the universe and add to it the love and wonders that we given to us we created

 

every day the universe changes....it is never the same....each new thought..each new wonder...changes us all.. sometimes slowly... sometimes fast

 

more us us are waking to our power....to the strength we each have..and more importantly the strength we have when we pull together as a species and not just a race!!

technology is bringing the faceless crowds together... is so many subtle ways... we are connecting  the world through social media...and it is just getting bigger and bigger and making the world smaller and smaller
and soon 

 "HANDS ACROSS THE WATER" will be easy

so let go of fear....reach out and hold the hand of a stranger...and you will have a new friend...each of us connected will unify the world...one day

 I hope more than ever to see it before it is my time to go

 

adding my wonder to the river flowing past

small stones

a moment in time

held forever in a picture

painting images upon the mind

of all who gaze at it

changing, affecting

their 'now' forever

just as your smile
affects me.

I walk through my now

looking in detail

for wonders to share

with you .

Floating

In her I swam
tethered , floating
in an unseen sea.
All she ate
and thought
were fed to me
until the day
she set me free.
Entangled we were.
It took years to see
the fears,
the anger,
the longings
were hers.
Fed to me,
when I floated
in her sea.
For years
with feet on dry land
I sat and contemplated
that sea,
and all it had meant to me.
After years of melancholy chasing me
I realized it was up to me,
to stop looking at the sadness
and to follow the joy
and roll in the wonders that brought me here
and reflect that back out
so that wherever she may be
she may feel that wave of joy.
I now experience extra just for her !


I was born 7 th of 8  and  my mom had 6 children all in a row, 2 even in the same year... so after 3 years of having no children she thought she was done....and then I came along....and changed things.

The Moon

The March Moon Full bloom~sun's reflection through the trees~captures buds in bloom #haiku to the Moon

              I am the Moon,
              the moon is me,
              reflecting in the night.
              Glowing
              in the sky.
              Shining
              the light absorbed
              from the wonder
              that floats by.
              You are the sparkle
               that lights my night
               and follows me
               into the day.
               You pull
                me to you.
                I glow with glee
                everytime
                you look
                at me.
