We Share Something Beautiful

In all that we see around us, and in our world, does our wordflow, our paintflow, become affected?

We often see with our hearts – so how do we respond? I wonder at times if I should stop blogging.

I won’t replay the news but so many horrible things are happening. Racism, killings in the street, disease taking so many away, and an economy faltering.

How can I write, or attempt to write something beautiful in these difficult times?

Well maybe, just maybe that’s the best time to write, and create artwork.

We don’t turn a blind eye, yet we offer hope by sharing our hearts through our creations.

And hopefully……we share something beautiful…..with our world.

Amen.

Our Spirits Will Still Speak to Us

In this age where beauty and revelation are wounded

from disease and fear,

our spirits will still speak to us,

as if oceans still lived in our frames,

and as strength filters back into us

we will be confident once again,

standing tall

even in the mist and the ruins.

In Every Deliverance

In every deliverance, truth becomes our shield

as we walk away from darkness

and to the light revealed,

allowing our true hearts

to increase our word strength,

and our blessed discovery

of who we truly are.

Strength to Each Other

In times of crises our eyes search through our masks,

for safety, for strength

with our hearts longing to feel the surge

of our common humanity 

to no longer feel alone,

so we write,

we draw

and paint,

and photograph,

to encourage ourselves

and to give strength

to each other.

Because that’s who we are,

it’s what makes us

human.

A Walk in the Sun

An amazing thing happened to me today.

As I was walking, the sun was shining,

the wind was blowing,

dandelions

were popping up everywhere

in the deep deep green,

and cherry blossums

appeared out of nowhere.

Then suddenly…..

a smile appeared

on my face!

Can you believe it?

The Healing of Our World

As the wind moves ripples across the lake,

I dream of days when peace lived,

so I focus

within my heart

on the healing of our world,

as the wind grows stronger

I enjoy the wildness,

of clouds shifting

and birdsong lifting.

In the Space Between Darkness and Light

In these times of a hidden dawn

we can find ourselves

in the space between darkness

and light,

and yet we move forward anyway

knowing heaven is not silent,

and we have the light

the strength 

of each other.

May Peace Flow in All of Our Hearts

I’ve been writing alot lately about the oceans. The oceans can fill us with their depth, their calmness and strength.

And they are endless, inspiring us, encouraging us that everything will be ok.

And spring is bringing us new life. The earth is renewing herself, and us so beautifully.

Rivers are also wonderfully capable of filling our hearts.

Even though I enjoy writing in many genres, now is not the time.

We all need hope, courage, strength and encouragement, just to make it through day by day.

May peace flow in all of our hearts.

Amen.

The Power Within Us

Hope seems distant in the shadows of fear,

yet living within us

is the power

to believe again.

Quietly Spoken

The most beautiful words I have ever heard,

have been quietly spoken,

a softness of spirit

gentle whispers,

making all the difference…..

creating

a powerful beauty.
