A New Journey

Hello. May I take this moment to wish you well, and say thank you for stopping by. I have felt the need to write, express myself lately but have also felt so uneasy with all that is going on. I am reminding myself of truths that I know, trying to focus on holding onto peace and normalcy, grow in some way from this experience. This is kind of where I am right now, and so I offer you the words below with blessing and hope. And gratitude. Thank you. We are One One voice One heart One LOVE One One whisper One wave One sun One One life One heart One LOVE One ; We are One We are One Underneath the lies and dreams there is only truth existing as us there is love one love - Us ! Remember to live from that one love Remember to Be that love, honor the life that you are and everything will be well again

Hi! Welcome! Thank you for stopping by. I am glad you are here. Today's poem is on miracles. Specifically, that life is full of miracles. You are a miracle.  Yes, YOU! How does that sit with you? So what does that mean, and why am I inspired to write about it? It means that life truly is amazing, that healings and happiness are our birthright. It means that I am focusing on seeing the good , as well as being the good . I am inspired to write about it because of the new year, because of books I have been reading, and just because I need life to feel that way. Below are some poems. I hope you enjoy! How I See How I see you how I judge myself tells the story of the past, not what I want to see in the future and it doesn't reflect reality only a dream one that we both agreed upon somewhere in love's continuum and now I choose to see only love only love only love Dervish I will dance and twirl in celebration in joy in t...

Hi! Welcome, and thanks for being here. I hope your summer is going well. Busy or relaxed, the longer daylight hours can offer us moments to reflect upon things and admire nature. That is what I love about summer- the color, nature in full bloom, early sunrise with my coffee. Nature can be so inspiring! For today's poetry I will share my recent personal photos taken while on vacation. I love to be surrounded by nature! In Quiet Moments Breathe slowly take in all the colors let the wind caress your shoulders and fill you with a knowing This wind and sky are gently surrounding you holding you providing you with all you think you need So when you stop to look around and gratitude flows from some deep place it is in that moment that you are shown the truth of your beauty and sacredness it is those quiet moments that change how you see yourself and the world

Moving Forward Hello!Welcome, and thank you for stopping by. I am headed toward a life change, professionally speaking. And it has me thinking. Specifically, about how much time I spend thinking about things that are to come. Things that I want to happen, things I hope don't happen. You get the idea. I also think about the past way too much, so how much time does that leave for right now, the present? Not enough. So, for me, a new focus has emerged. To be more mindful of the moment. There is so much to appreciate. There really is no reason to stress so much. Breathe. I feel much better already. Hope you enjoy the below poem! The Gift Right before my eyes I see you me everything I see love and dreams I see tears and moonlight  dancing But most of all I see the gift of time and space and the words that exist between them

Hello! Thanks for stopping by. I hope your year is getting off to a great start! I have stocked up on books for reading through this cold spell and have been inspired. Inspired to embrace the moment more, to live in awe and appreciation. I hope you enjoy the poem. Stay inspired, and listen to what the moment has to say. MOMENTS Far away  tucked in my memory is an idea, a dream, a knowing, that all of life's treasures are held in this moment- and I am here to savor them all.

Hi! Thanks for being here with me. How is your Spring going? I have been thinking about growth, life changes, the power we have within ourselves to be our own source of inspiration and strength. We are more amazing than we give ourselves credit for! I have a feeling you are a muse to someone, to many perhaps, so this one is for you. Blessings! Spark of Love The spark of love is alive, in you, ready to bloom and bursting with color. Grow! Bloom! Establish roots and surpass the past. Shine the in a million ways! Life is color, life is a song; all it takes is a muse to light the fuse, for you to have what you need when you are ready to show yourself the way. Go forth and find your muse! Let vibrant petals fall where they may as you stand in the sun and walk toward your destiny, you beautiful, incredible, spark of love! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing in my poetry. It means so very much to me!

Hi! Thank you for stopping by today. I have a poem today inspired by quiet meditation. It was during a quiet time of meditation that I felt these words come over me, almost in a rush. I had been contemplating being open to guidance, to the themes of oneness and unity, and was struck by how strongly I felt the realization that my words, my thoughts and feelings, are always heard. I left my quiet time feeling peaceful and also with a measure of gratefulness and awe. Here is the poem below. Hope you enjoy! Inspired Words I sense your presence in stillness and beauty, I hear your voice in a song; love echoes back to me your sentiment, your intent. Standing before me I see outstretched all things lovely and divine; deep within I recognize them as You. I rest in the vision that has a hold of my heart, knowing my life has never been left to chance- my days not set by circumstance. You helped me see that. Reaching for dreams has been our forte, with tenderne...

     Hello! Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you like my newest poem. I get inspired by what I read and after reading this week I felt like I had a good topic for a poem- the gift,or gifts, that are presented to us every day. Simply by slowing down and appreciating all aspects of ourselves, our lives, we see that we are indeed given much to be thankful for. I am thankful for all that is present in my life, and one thing I look forward to is many more inspired moments of writing ahead!! Hope you enjoy the poem!  Still in the Moment   All of your moments come to you, by and by, with the intention of delivering the message of your divinity. Do not waste them!  Through the ages, through time and space, you learn to honor your humanity.  Cherish it!  Both are present. Now. One is eternal. There is joy is knowing that the flow of your breath links you to the source of all. All of your moments and all of mine ...

Good day! Thank you for stopping by.  I have a poem for you today that came to me on a rare, quiet afternoon when I allowed myself time to reflect. I felt drawn to the topic of  unity, of our connection to nature. I felt th ese words almost being spoken over me! They came to me softly in phrases, and I felt such peace as I wrote them down. It was a transcendent  experience, one that I wish happened more often. I hope you enjoy!   The Mystery of You The mystery you think I am is really the mystery of You, for we are linked as one- we both express divine love, our essence both pure and light. What you are  and what I am is really the same. Seeing differences where none exist brings fear,sadness and pain; illusion feeds the needless suffering of love's great joy- You!  So let us stay together now linked by a bond of pure love; in safety you will be guided to the placed you know as home.

Good day! Thanks for visiting my poetry blog today. Today's poem came to me rather quickly and expresses my feelings on awareness of unity, of the love and peace that resides within. Getting still, having time to be quiet and look within, has been challenging lately as I have been teaching summer school this year but it is so important to me that I do . I have also finished a book recently that impacted me and made me think about this topic. Who else likes deep, meaningful reading? I hope you enjoy the poem! The wonder of awakening freezes me in my tracks I am unable to breathe The bottom falls out from under me yet somehow I am still standing; in fact I am standing taller than ever shaky at first, sure then I gaze with peace upon peace let the mystery wash over me. I am facing the sun and rising higher lifted  above the circumstances that never really had any power to create my life - I see that now. I sing for joy at the discovery that I create ...

 Here is a poem constructed after much thought on current life events. May it inspire and deepen your awareness of connectivity, unity, dreams and passion! Something There is something inside that calls and pulls at us, urging us to go forward - to embrace the restless side of our deepest Self. Knowing ourselves involves engaging with this shadow, this part of us that feels ancient, bold, powerful. How much time we spend engaged in the mystery how far we travel this time around depends upon our willingness, our joy, our readiness for something.

Well, I finally did it. I put my feet in the sand and read. I read my poetry book. My very own book, in my hand, on the beach!     It was a moment I had been looking forward to for months. It signified something special for me, almost hard to define. I had early visions of moving to/ living on the beach when I first started writing. I love how being near the ocean makes me feel. For this trip, I envisioned reading my book and then writing some more poetry for my next book. I did write a few poems later, but on the morning I read my book on the beach I was overwhelmed. I was brought back to the emotions I was feeling when I wrote the poems. To what was happening in my life, both outer and inner.      I sat there, reading through my poems, and I felt such gratitude for the opportunity to write, to put my work out there. I felt awe and a growing thankfulness for being able to reach others through my writing...

Hello! Thank you for joining me today. I hope things are well for you as we near the first day of Spring! I need to purchase a birthday card as that day is also my sister's birthday. At any rate, I have hopes of warm days ahead when I just know I will be both motivated and inspired to the point of distraction. Warm weather does that to me! I just want to take a minute and share a poem I had meant to be part of a collection but decided to let stand solo. I hope you like it! The Grace of An Angel I sense your presence in stillness and beauty; I hear your voice in a song. Love echoes back to me your sentiment, your intent. Standing before me I see outstretched all things lovely and divine; deep within I recognize them as you. My life has never been left to chance my days are not set to circumstance- you helped me see that. Reaching for dreams has been our forte releasing myself from the chains of illusion our delight. How grateful I am...

Hello! Here for you today is a poem influenced by considering the gift of time, of all the moments we have to embrace and all that life brings us. Gift The gift of a moment glistens in the sun; time offering itself again and again for what? Expressions of love transform the atmosphere and elevate the future. The tide comes in then goes out to the rhythm of eternity and I stand linked to everything, my feet in the sand; this moment contains everything and nothing until I choose to accept the gift before me.  The gift I have received lately is the gift of time to write. What have you been gifted?
