NC Road Trip

"Light at the end of the tunnel" ~ my mom said, "I always wondered what that looked like". My energy was drained during this trip. Am so glad to be back at home. Perhaps I will blog about it, perhaps not. Still taking it all in. Yet, in some ways, it was very much like seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Like a "lightbulb" comes on. You gain perspective. You gain wisdom. You lose what is no longer needed.

My World Is Waking Now...

My world is waking now

where does that leave me?

In a place

In a dream

Where I never meant to be

My world is waking now

where does that leave me?

To stand alone

To weather the season

Sharing moments

Where all was

Yet nothing is

Reality

Feeling brave

feeling strong

feelings

like a rubber band

all wrapped up

bursting out

flying loose

yes

that's me

My world is always awake

including

the likes of you

No difference

no pretense

spice flowing

regardless

of your world waking up now

Totally

free

Before The Rain

The skies were as blue as blue can be

suddenly

the darkness came

yet

it was only rain

winds blew

refreshing all

darkening

awakening

to the sweet smell

of everything alive

Mother Nature

Mother nature

be gentle upon us

as I look

at the doves

living amongst my land

we are all

sentient beings

seeking shelter

from the

wrath of a turbulent nature

give us time

to nurture

to love

this is my prayer to thee

mother nature

earth being

the center of me

Different Love

When one can sit

in total content

not a complaint in the world

there

you find

true happiness

The mere existence

of love

exists

in everything

surrounding

connecting to one

is connecting to all

presence

boundless

When one can sit

in content with oneself

love

speaks

in different languages

The love I feel

for many

is the same

yet

expressed differently

Today I sit

content

surrounded

being

love

co-creator

of my life

Just like the iris

blooming

dropping seeds

yet lovingly

being

just me

Art Making Art

14" x 18" Acrylic with ink on Canvas



The video camera stared at me from across the room...




Magic created a playful tune




Capturing the moment




The stillness of the day




Blinds closed




Insides opening




as we began to play









Passion soaring




as the strokes were pouring




trembling




as one might say




refrain from touch




unlikely today









Artists




experiencing




creating art









Actors pretending




reality astray









A kiss




at the end of day









Creation creating




one hell of a play









Guilt washed away




may the magic




stay




forever




this day









An artist creating art




is what remains




beauty surrounds




reality awakes




to touch




and be touched




a wonderful gift




...humans love to play









Still learning



striving

to capture the moment




we'll get it right




as in love and time




loving in a place




where there is




no time




nor space
