Nostalgic Picture

Barefoot

the two walked

hand in hand, along the shore

 

A nostalgic picture

of simple romance

 

Yet secretly, separately

they dreamed of playing frisbee

 

Of splashing, running

hair blowing

 

Happy Squirrel

Walking on the fence
all jiggy with the up and down
of the dog-eared boards
 
Little squirrel, the acrobat
his tail flickering for balance
 
Who needs an umbrella
when you've got a tail?
 
What conflicted decision
when you're just a happy squirrel?

Twirling Into Light

She danced awake the stars
lifting her veil with panache
 
Dramatic undertones apparent
to even the passerby
 
As she twirled into light
the fiber of her universe
 
Colored past lines
of false limitations
 
Yet grounded in reality
of impossible made likely
in the flash of her jewels

Joy of Life x3

Wow! OK, so I did not start writing on here everyday. However, I have been feeling great joy everyday!

First, and foremost in the JOY category lately has been the experience of becoming a Grandma. I am so very deeply grateful for being able to be at the hospital the day my granddaughter (the first grandchild) was born! There is much I would say, yet her parents are very private folks, so suffice it to say I am beside myself with joy! I am totally enchanted with this little girl, and looking forward to celebrating everyday of her life. What a precious precious gift. Life is joy.

………………….
I am doing more of what I love to do lately. And, I see the joy of that practice becoming even more prevalent in my life. With all the financial talk around the country, I find great joy in the expression of life, and the fact that I get to continue doing what I enjoy the most for a living.

Every day there is a new opportunity to expand on creative expression, to flesh out new ideas, and share new plans. Each moment, I find myself at choice: (1) to allow guidance to show me the next step in expression and feel the exhilaration of that surrender, or (2) to block that incredible blessing by shutting it down with some form of fear. More and more my moments are guided, and I am in joy – the real joy of life.

………………….
Awake, aware, alive, amazing life.

Iridescent Wings

My eyes get caught
in the lattice work
of the iridescent dragonfly wings
 
A map into infinity
blessed by magic and joy
———————————————-
Here in the field
where the dragonflies wing
 
Joy rises in my chest
lilting, fluttering joy

Reflection

One misty, moisty morning
spider hid in her little hideaway
 
All web-building put on hold
she had time to reflect
in her spider fashion
 
"Hmmm," she thought
"A juicy fly would taste
mighty fine right now!"

Circle of Intention

In the circle of her intention
 
The heart expanded with exhilaration
and the Spirit soared
 
On windstreams
of inspiration

Happy Being

The bouncing red rubber ball
went everywhere
 
Without heeding
rules of decorum…
 
Just a happy being
expressing joy

Peace Meal

Restless in the crevices
where the backwaters
splash and swirl
 
And the eddies of my thoughts
turn around and round
 
Yet at the center
where the minnows meet
it is still and calm
 
I float and breathe
in peace meal breath
