Within

 do you ever

take pencil to paper and see where it leads you?

then sit back and take it to heart 

and

interpret how it moves you?

or

prepare a meal and plate it up

then sit back and take it to heart and see how it moves you?

or watch the wind inspire the trees to dance 

and interpret some special meaning for you or about life?

I enjoy doing this. 

it is a bit like drawing a card for its message. 

This young lad closed his eyes and settled within,

energy centers tangibly gained vibrance.

I hope to sketch more often

even daily, just for fun, just to see what shows up on the page. 

Then to consider its meaning for me. 

Does this drawing have a personal meaning for you?

Sharing Light

crossing the threshold from winter to spring

they honored the moment by sitting.... 

heart to heart

forehead to forehead

in a silent sharing of energy

Equinox blessings to you!

Resting Within

sometimes

painting a Buddha resting in peaceful silence

inspires deep peace in me

morning visitor:

I was away for a while and could not post on blogger (no matter how I tried to from my iPad). 
I also no longer receive my comments from you in an email, which I had set up to do all these many years. 

Are you also having these complications with blogger?

Scribble Picnic: Fox

even 

a

Fairy Ring

feeling the magic
of the earth, mushrooms and Fae
 rise through her

until she felt vitality, love and light
in every cell of her being

yesterday i glimpsed a yearling black bear getting out of my small pond and trotting off through the woods

 it paused to shake off some water

if only i looked out sooner to see if the bear paused to 
splash about
or
 take a bath 
or 
go fishing

all 6 fish are still there

it was the size of a large dog
~
I never know what i will see when i look out the wee cabin's windows

DC: Rhythm

within
she rested
until her grace flowed
and
all the rhythms of the universe
breath
heart
as well as the tiny
nearly
impalpable rhythms flowed through her being
and then
all the magic of the world
became hers

~

DC: Calm

 she closed her eyes

breathed slow and steady

igniting her heart

following her breath

 to the center of her being

tuning into the infinate

she found her calm

calm

that lives within

something about aquas and pale greens

light dancing on water

that brings me to an inner calm

~

Thank you Veronica

for this timely prompt: calm

Visit Veronica's wonderous place to find others sharing in Calm
