My house needs a bit of work, repainting, repairs, etc., but it’s cozy. After the winter I repotted my four Geranium plants into two big pots, and they are doing so much better now. It makes me really happy to open my front door and see the fullness of the deep green leaves and pink blooms.…
This seemed like too fitting of a theme to pass up. I have not been posting for the past few months because my life has been rearranged and changed. I live in 2 places now and commute long distance on a weekly basis. A new job means rearranging some brain cells. But I’m still doing…
Never really been a morning person. I wake up usually to a cat wanting to be fed or let outside. I make coffee, eat some berries, maybe some toast and peanut butter. Then I sit quietly sipping my coffee, clearing my mind from any leftover dream imprints. I might pray, I might meditate, I might write…
Unsure, insecure; “Why are you not here with me? You can take my place and I will stay behind.” My mom, some years ago before she passed away, on a trolley at a tourist attraction. My son can be seen in the window behind her. She always put others first, so she was uncomfortable taking…
I often feel out of place in this world of invented things artificial light keeping me awake while I struggle to pay it’s fee. Dreaming of sunlight and sand I play in my virtual world I’d rather be hiking in nature but I stroll the internet highway. Longing to dance under a star lit sky…
That’s a really big salad! When I ordered the Taco Salad I didn’t expect to get such a huge meal, I’m not that big of an eater. I couldn’t exactly send it back, especially with such friendly service.Dinner is so much better with a perky waitress. It had been almost 3 years since I had…
The future is only a figment of imagination, it is not real until it becomes the present. Most of my past imaginations of the future have become a reality, although slightly different from what I might have thought at the time. Now, as I envision the path ahead I create it – with room for…
Family is love, and when two families come together it is more love, and when many friends come to support this union it is a community of love. And when the wind comes along threatening to tear up this celebration of love, we just batten down the sails, weather the storm and start dancing; because…
When I think of harmony I think about the various elements that come together to make a beautiful dance. Music, movement, creativity, vision, intention, diverse people, costumes, lighting, stage, and audience all merge into a spectacular expression of art, emotion and beauty. In this particular dance there were 4 or 5 countries represented, and 3…
I wish I could say that my state of mind is peaceful, but at the moment it is not. I can not describe what is going on in my head right now except perhaps with these pictures. A little drizzly, unclear, muddy even. Unfocused? No, I am very focused. I have to be to get…
I had to really stretch myself on this one this week. How do I take a photo that shows optimism? Do I have a photo in my files that expresses optimism? Essentially at my core I am an optimistic person, but I have to admit that I get blue sometimes. There are plenty of issues…
Gathering every year to celebrate the gift of life, the gift of each other – friends, family and others. The miracle of living in this moment right now with all these special people. Gatherings are changing, children have grown up, my friends are all old, perhaps I am old too. But I don’t feel old…
