Do You Embrace Spontaneity ?

Imagine leaving room for spontaneity .  In such a moment one’s spirit  may breathe easy , release and soar . A revival of energy invited to flow simultaneously  opens doors and creates the birth of  courage .

It is  moment dedicated to nurturing joy and with it comes  clarity and purpose .  A state of exuberance  in living for the sake  of living .   In welcoming the joy and the freedom of spontaneity   we may choose to travel further into the unknown  .  The unknown parts of ourselves  .   It is a vessel of treasures this spirit of freedom and giving and exploring .

The Gates of Peace

The challenges that I feel

growing in my heart ,

arriving from beyond the gates of peace .

There is a spirit of fire crackling in my blood .

Waiting to roar

and to say it’s release .

This day will not end in anger nor disgrace .

But will leave in color

and

my heart’s warm embrace .2037-10-29-21-08-17

And with Peace .

Release the Wild Hope

  Integrity lives beyond the ego and  inside of her heart . And  though she is not always so tame , her passions fuel the desire to do good quietly .  The dreams born in the heart are beautiful and bold   and the ideas that flow from  her mind move around  edges both rocky and smooth,  inside and out .

A moment arrives as if in were late and along with it comes a bit of its wild . Now,  Will I go with this bit of wild and see ? For in this moment , you understand ,  it is life and it is free .

This wild hope , it lives in me and I offer to others at every place I see.

Rattle your cage and go into your heart . Your dearest friend awaits you there with open wings and a wild hope and heart .

Wild Hope

I’ve learned that it does not suit me too well to sit in the quiet of hope but , rather , to be in the wild of it .  This is not to say that there isn’t  great value in quieting the mind . There is , there truly  is .   There are those delicious times when hope lives it’s mightiest in the doing , in the wild side , the wild side of hope .

The Door

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

HOME

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

I Belong …

 

Home in My Soul

Home in My Soul

I belong to the birds and the trees ,

And to the flowers and the sky .

And to the birds and the dreams ,

And to the rivers and the streams .

I belong to the mountains and the hills

And to the stars in the sky .

The Stillness in Courage

IMG_7168     Is  courage required to be still and at ease with oneself ?  During those times when all  our lives is in place as we planned it’s easy .  When  violent twists and turns appear  the loving stillness can be both inside and outside . When the outer comforts of love are seemingly out of reach then the inner sanctuary of love must prevail and in that lives the  peace .

New Sight

'Layers'   chalk pastels   2013 #37I had to learn how to see her again .  Big, brown eyes mellow and soft when displaying her sensitive nature and fiercely courageous when taking a stand.  These are details of who she was  and  were  tucked safely away within the vitality of love  . Protected from the chaos  and disrepair of grief the moments that had passed between us remained alive .
