The spring speaks softly of gentleness and warmth
allowing our hearts
to feel safe again,
as we open ourselves
to her beauty,
in awe
we receive the confidence
to move forward.

Note: Keep fighting and stay healthy.
Rocks hold their ground with the rushing of sparkling waves
Mesmerized I listen closely,
to the sounds of the ocean
singing, dancing, moving
and I realize
we can see more clearly
in our peace, with the veil removed.
And a prayer escapes my heart,
my mind,
just at the right moment, receding.

Over each meadow and mountain, our nation awoke today
to a brighter sun,
as some of the chaos
some of the hatred
was pulled away
in our choosing to come together
embracing our healing,
each one of our colors
as if we were flowers holding
the power of beauty
within our hearts.
In diversity there is strength.

Note: This is in reference to our elections last night.
Spring speaks in the quiet rain,
sometimes muted
in a mix of snow,
yet she still sings
promising us a brighter sun
and flowers
to encourage our tomorrows.
Why else would God make flowers?

Well, if you didn’t see my biggest blogging secret, it wasn’t really a secret, but it was to invest in other bloggers!
Spend time at other sites that interest you. So, now for my second biggest secret! Well it’s not really a secret either!
I try to bring hope and encouragement with much of my work. Let’s face it, we all need encouragement sometimes!
So I use terms such as “wordflow”, “spirit” etc. as a way of reflecting a positive life force,
and maybe even some healing. Poetry infused with nature can also bring healing.
I want my blog to be a positive place making the world a little more beautiful.
Art, and writing, and photography can do that! So now you know my 2 biggest blogging secrets.
I wish you all peace!
P.S. I think I’ve discovered a good writing plan/schedule. And sometimes you will see some adventurous fiction!

When we walk down that path…..our journey celestial
a temple unseen awaits in our spirits
while white clouds drift over,
wisdom rides on light rays through shadows,
flickering in our minds
reminding us of our own humanity,
we take another step, accepting.
Guided by hawk wings,
or at least by their shadows,
flying over our shoulder……
we are encouraged
with the burden lighter,
our steps become quicker
as we embrace each path……
of our journey celestial.

Help me today God to put on the spirit of an eagle,
not a vulture picking away
at the deadness of this world, instead
choosing to rise above the hate
on wings of encouragement
respecting all
regardless of creed.
Remembering
the power of one.
Amen.
