Riding in the Wild World

Yes, this is a photo of me when quite young. I still remember this day, it was that exciting for me.  I was convinced that because of this one little sit on the photographers pony I had morphed into some kind of natural horse expert trick rider or something. I just always knew that I belonged on horses after that.  I’ve only ridden a few times in my life, still I hold a loving affinity for these beautiful loving creatures.

Layers of My Being

I am loving playing with photographic images and my paintings coupled with my own thoughts and poetry. Since I have this one image a day assignment which I intend to fulfill,  it is apparent that it is a perfect method for me to give myself permission to play. What fun!

Journeying

All the souls upon the earth
We each are on our journey home
We tug and pull, laugh and cry
Together, we dance on our own
Tell me your story
I’ll tell you mine
Upon our journey
let’s all have a good time

Juggling

Playing with the light
tossing it from hand to hand

His aura glowing from the
increased energy of the effort

He came to the momentary conclusion
that this was much better

Than the simple
juggling of Life…

In No-Moon’s Darkness

Moon had gone to bed

off to play in dreamland

on the other side


Stars were hiding-seek too well

as if they’d dropped from the sky

• • •


In darkness thick as rabbit fur

we traversed the wood


Listening to the breath of silent wind

feeling the way with bared feet


With eyes closed and hearts open

and the simple faith of trusting children


Until, at last, we arrived home

without a scratch or trepidation

Just Past Imbolc

I’m always ready for the blossoming, yet  shy away from the pain of the cracking open bud.   Springs promise reminds me that only when I welcome the remaining sharp edges does the crispy new invite my participation.

 

Gentle Greeting

Once a stick-bug
showed up on my screen door
It was startling to realize
this odd twig was alive
I felt fear
Yet, the stick-bug still greeted me
in his gentle stick-bug way
The Spirit in me
honors the Spirit in all living beings
