new life – Rivers Renewed

Somehow I Remember

Somehow I remember that light, flickering through the trees

with moments of phrases awakening,

and in breathing again, I let the wordflow go

through me,

inspired by the Earth,

and Sky.

Hearts of Gold

Since the dawn of our existence and even before,

Mothers have been pouring into us,

from their hearts of gold,

from their very essence,

forming,

shaping who we become

creating the person

God always intended

us to be.

It takes great courage and resilience to be a Mother. We should thank our Mothers for their continued bravery of loving no matter what. Let us remember too the women of all types that are hurting right now.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Notations

Our cherry tree is blossoming again, so for us spring is officially here! The vaccines are here too, so we can finally begin to move forward, even if it is slower than we would like.

I thought it would be a good time to mention a few things about my blog. Such as, I normally post Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with some on the weekends. However I’ve been adding a little more here and there simply because.

I once again want to say, all are welcomed here, regardless of your background, race, country of origin etc. except for bullies. No bullies are allowed here!

I don’t approve linking or “links” to my posts. I’ve had terrible technical difficulty with my faith based site, “Walking through Psalms” and I believe it is related to my approving these things in the past.

I don’t do awards anymore, I simply do not have the time to participate. They are fun though.

My wife and I are older, yet very much in love. A lot of shenanigans can take place in blogging. I avoid that as much as I can.

One time years ago a young woman sent me emails to flirt with me, and she included pictures! Fortunately I recognized it immediately for what it was – malicious. She was being malicious.

I could write a lot more today but I’ve decided it can all wait……..except for one thing.

Thank you for reading!

Wishing you peace.

Softer Breath with a Quiet Step

A softer breath with a quiet step, as I move through the morning forest,

the brutality of winter removed

I now listen

to the new life born,

the rebirth of the earth

recovering.

In Our Peaceflow Searching

In our peaceflow searching we will recognize the refreshing,

when our souls are filled

and our spirits

are lifted.

Light Speaking

I once saw peace peeking through the willow tree, light speaking

clearly saying to hold on, to carry hope,

to keep courage,

close

to my heart.

The Wonder of a New Beginning

In these days, this framing of time gathered, our hearts, our beings, need more healing

than in other years. May we always hold onto

the promise of a new year,

the wonder of,

a new beginning.

Happy New Year!

Peace on Earth

Peace, love, joy, hope, are all such beautiful parts of our human experience any time of year, but somehow they are especially prominent around Christmastime. Or at least they should be!

And there’s so much light. This is not a religious blog, or even a faith based one and yet, once a year I allow myself some celebrating! I always respect other faiths and people with no faith. That’s who I am as a person.

I’ve mentioned Christmas because I have somewhat of my own tradition here. I share some fiction for a few days. What?? You write fiction too Nico? Yep, I sure do! I love sharing little pieces of light, so I hope you enjoy them this coming week. And I will spread out some poetry throughout. Can you tell I’m having a good time?

Are you curious about some of the fiction? Well there’s Henry Vu, a Vietnamese angel. And there’s Rosa Gonzalez who has a visit from her dead mother. I might also throw in some romance too, such as a story called Popcorn and Tattoos. So hang on!

If you are looking for a more faith based site, I have one you can check out. What??? Yep, it’s true.

Peace, and may the vaccine get here soon!

Blue Softly Whispering

Words sifting, shaping, even ascending

through my heart

from the gentle depths,

of blue softly whispering

from a day of rest,

spirit expanding,

stretching forth

as if it was new.

Note: I’ve made some space on the site, but it’s a temporary fix.

Sunlight Meditations

I couldn’t think of what to write today so I drifted towards the sea, sunlight sparkling, reflecting.

Powerful insights of the vastness….ocean’s blue. Seagulls barked complaining, but I was already in my meditation pose,

with my spirit following and I remembered the light given…how the refracting light through the trees of a forest, brings life.

Light opening even the smallest flower.

Eyes closed, I breathed again…
