Home . A place to store the fears ,
Home . Aches relieved .
Home. A broken heart healed .

Remembering You from Another Time
I remembered you from long ago . Ancient dreams return us to a place in our hearts and
recall , in a swiftly passing moment , what we had known to be sacred . Looking to the moon or
placing the palm of a hand against a tree, it is then the glimpses of completeness come . And when my
heart pulls me to the shores of the sea I am calmed and set free .
The Bold in the Heart
Facing the human spirit , witnessing struggles shared , and stepping into delight .
Delight in inspiration even when it is fleeting . It is an awakening , treasured and dear .
Layers of paint , boldly placed , are sometimes scraped away . Intent on connecting to the
heart , mind and spirit . It a world obsessed with time , doing and going , this work that i do
asks for a pause and ….to see the gentle bits along side the bold .
Whispers Traveling through Unexpected Channels
Amidst my own fury and sight retreated from any view , suddenly , I hear a whisper . Cease the fury and be gone so that i might hear . I love to hear the loving murmurs directing me to be strong . The whispers of comfort reminding me of love’s endless life and the nudges that bring me home to who I am .

Untether My Spirit
In leaps and with great ease when the heart leads . Struggle becomes delight and light fills the
cracks of the bits that seemed broken . A smile slowly begins to open and widen across a
beautiful face . Even in a dim light the eyes are seen and are dancing . A moment of whimsy
opens the way for a life of cherishing joy .
Leaving space for silence and saying yes to thoughts that are unknown,
and before you know it the bridge has been crossed and you are on the other side . It’s how
to find out who you are .
Dear friend , delight in those leaps and see beyond .

The Red Robin on the Path ….continued
She felt thunder in the earth . It came on so suddenly that she lost her breath . The blood was
racing through her veins and she was , both , frightened and excited .
The instantaneous silence magnified the anticipation .
What was coming ? What was the thundering earth going to bring ?
Red Robin on the Path : Gates are Opening
The Mysteries of the forest began opening up . revealing marvelous bits of life . Beautiful ,
winged creatures flying between the trees while vibrantly decorated butterflies danced amongst
the sleeping rocks . The songs of the forest coming together like a chorus .
As she walked her awareness of the unique harmony of forest life expanded
and felt it as an invitation to delve deeper into understanding herself as well . oooh just then…
she caught a glimpse of a Red Robin on the path .
The Hues of the New Day
Oh I how I breath in deeply at the sight of the new day .
Leaving room for wondering , leaving room for you dear yesterday .
Sometimes I speak to you in the night and wait in vain for your reply .
And sometimes the mystery of the night is my cloak of comfort and inspiration to fly .
Red Robin on the Path
As she walked , meandering a bit at first , then remembering a dream from the night before
she quickened her pace . The feeling of it remained like a layer of fog and complemented by a
vague sense of worry.
Usually she took pleasure in remembering her dreams . It was fun to
assign meaning to characters in this other world . And often they for inspiration for a laugh or
two. But this one …well , this one was poking her the way her younger cousin used to do . It
was irksome and sporadic . Then there was a sudden rustling . Startling her so that she
gasped for a breath . She shook her head . Nothing to be concerned about . Still she looked
carefully about before continuing onward .
The Red Robin on the Path
The air , while cold, was nearly comforting in how refreshing it felt . She felt a smile easing into
postion . “hmmmm. this will be a good day ” she thought . Stepping out and looking about .
She knew that she should hurry but somehow felt a sense of leisure in her heart .
The trees being so majestic and the scattered blooms of wild flowers looking sweet and
rebellious all at once gave her comfort .
Sometimes the scents of nature filling the air gave her cause to giggle gently with
childlike delight .
