I Belong to the Stars

Leave a reply

I belong to the birds and to  the trees ,

And the flowers and the sky.

And to the bees and the dreams  and the rivers and the streams .

I belong to the mountains and the hills  and to the stars in the sky .

Wherever  they came  from embrace them . Embrace them and breathe them in so as to experience the sweet release that is freedom .  Now live and breathe out . Feel the arrival of luscious laughter and joy needing no reason to be . Just be . 

Deeply alive to feel it all so true . An easy road not so,  though magnificent  in grace and inexplicable in sorrow .  Either one may be manipulated away should  we choose it . Better to recognize the beauty living in the pain . The stars in the sky as you see them do you wonder silently to yourself ” Am I seeing only the remains of this brilliant, fiery light ? Am I looking straight into it’s death and seeing the beautiful  glow ? ” 

Each moment we embrace  and each breath we take notice of is our gift to eternity .

This is What I Have to Give

In one  moment ,

It’s power is eternity .

Swept up by it’s energy , it can swirl you into anguish .

Let it be still and observe the courage .

It passes , as we understand time within our walls .

Parting the walls is as simple as moving energy .

Transform your spirit with welcoming the heart .

Live forever in the heart or travel endlessly in places of dispute while carrying  the weight  of hate .

These moments live with you forever .

What do you think about that ?

Home Inside The Stars

Leave a reply

The light that naturally lives , even in the darkness .  And a joy that celebrates, though quietly when there is despair. This is home .  The laughter at the door invites you into yourself to recognize that your  life is  sacred  . A challenge or a smile beckons to be released and a gentle  embrace remembers when  moments  were born .

When the  morning song of a single bird was the sweetest sound you’d ever heard . And  when you’d lie on your back ,side by side , in the grass  . Entering  the heavens through sight of the stars  above and knowing somehow that it’s home .

Together again we look up at the clouds , and  breathing  softly and deeply  we relax into the earth beneath us .  She holds us and  gives freedom .  Each breath is a quiet meditation  and  a thank you to life .   We enter our imaginations  and creations . It is Heaven here on earth and it’s Home .

Living Deeply

Living Spirit

Living Spirit  

To be better than me ,

rather than someone else .

Where is the stopping point ?

Who knows ? And that is the point .

Limitless .

Only in death will I stop only I won’t stop  because in death I am born .

The Door

Leave a reply

Will you walk along with me ….towards the door ?

Yes  I will .

I will hold your hand . will you hold mine ?

Yes I will .

Oh wait !  Just a moment  . I’m suddenly not so sure .  If you’re scared then I’m scared too .

what to do ? What to do ? !

Gentle smiles and quiet glances soothed away the fears .  For now…  the way was clear .

I could only go as far as the door .  You had to do the rest .

Stepping back to let you go  and  leaving tears  upon your cheek .

Our adventure began long ago  and the time has come to start again .

Sweet peace to you .'Out of the Storm' soft chalk pastel 2012 #10

Deeply in the Heart

Leave a reply

It may be a difficult road to feel things so deeply , but also a magnificent one .

2037-10-04 09.18.27There is an inexplicable sorrow that visits the heart at times . In a moment it appears like going around  bend in the road and ….. suddenly beholding the sight of a mountain seeming  larger than life . It appears and can be manipulated away  if we choose .

What if we open the door and walk right into it ?  Perhaps it is the past .  The moments that we let slide by without giving  recognition to their  beauty or pain .

Wherever they came from embrace them .  Embrace them and breathe them in so as to experience the sweet release of freedom . Now live and breathe out  while feeling the arrival of luscious laughter and joy .  Joy needing no reason for being . It simply is there for you .

I belong to the birds and to the trees

And to the flowers and the sky .

and to the bees and to the dreams ,

And the rivers and the streams .

I belong to the mountains and the rolling hills

And to the stars in the sky .

My beginning  knows no bounds .

Endings become beginnings  become endings become beginnings .

Transformation : The Grace of Homeless Youth

IMG_7467       He smiles …

He takes it and then transforms it all .

The steps ahead are unknown , yet …

The music and the creation of Art bring  a spark of joy  to his eyes .

He returns , again and again , with patience and trust

to live and to give .

The light and the joy that lives naturally . That is home . When heart cracks and welcomes despair , that too is home .  And when it is all embraced as one we are whole again …..and again and again .  Clarity visits and opens doors allowing for action while trust is the confidence that grows the wings ! 2037-09-15 08.43.39

And to the rivers and the streams .
