Soul self
I looked out upon the East River as a little girl from my bedroom window . I watched the night sky change with the celestial cycles , I watched fiery as well as calm , delicate sunsets . It was enchanting and yet also grounding . I felt more connected to my deeper self because of these moments .
The quietness , the aloneness that allowed for these experiences also created some separation from the day to day lighter side of living .
At the age of eight years old I wrote a letter to the President of the United States . ”Dear Mr. President , Please get everyone to love each other and then we will have peace .” The letter was mailed . I received a brochure of the White House in response . I was thrilled because it meant that my letter had arrived .
That little girl with the old soul is still me . And since then have discovered the joy of laughter and spontaneity .

The fireworks Tonight
The light returns and we rejoice in dreams of a new beginning .
A new year about to begin and we might reflect upon what’s gone by …
or dive in deeply into hopes for what we will create in the coming days .
Dancing into joy , lightly moving through quietness of the unspoken desires
and welcoming the healing of laughter that is sparked in spontaneity .
Delight rises up from within the heart , sometimes catching us by surprise . It is a delight .
Twirl , look up , imagine ….embrace love . Live generously and the world expands . Unfolding unceasingly .
We don’t know what we don’t know so let go and live in joyous generosity .
Happy New Year !
love

The Summer Sun
The summer sun rising ,quickly dissipating the early morning dark, bringing a strong of day and of what it might become .
Bright and strong and barely a breeze and birds coming into their songs as a cat excitedly watches them flit about .
It is the best bit now before people begin to move to and fro . When the quietness is freedom and the stillness a welcome respite .

Space for New Dreams
Spring Joyously Returns
Spring Joyously Returns
The lasting light stretching outward into evening inviting delight .
Coolness along aside bright sunshine and twirling sounds from birds before light
inspiring joy and a light heart .
Inspiring a yearning to stay awake later into the night and glance at the stars sparkling
in the deep , dark sky .
Spring joyously returns and like a lovely waltz it twirls life around out of the winter
slumber and into new beginnings .
Happy Spring !

Spring
The light arriving earlier now and lingering longer . Renewing , refreshing and inviting new inspirations for change .
Stellar Jay’s appear with their eye catching brilliant blue and the song birds delicate sounds float through the air .
A breezy chill in a symphony of sunlight both playful and hopeful eases the day into evening and a happy rest .
