change the shadow
A time to cleanse the white winter dust from our bones
See beyond the eyes we’ve settled into since birth
There will be bursts of newness now
Duplication is not possible in nature–
yet, we humans often manage repeating ourselves
There is a comfort in settled experiences–
solace in our familiar numbers
One’s own purpose lingers beyond the grassroots of life
As foundations burrow in, and the sun effortlessly alters shadows
there are tiny moments
The slightest current can lift a seed passed the tempting border of sameness
Convince, prod, cajole, plea, praise the mind
Allow your heart and body no choice–
but to follow

Time come back
You leave and forget me
Embarking shadows
on steel shafted ships
Good times go by so fast
Pitiful moments last forever
Why must you
avenge me so
When I cry, you crawl
When I laugh, you prance
As you move
I learn
too much, too soon
When you leave
I’ll be dead
and you’ll go on
ticking, ticking, ticking
Dancing Flames
May you dream of warm spring flames to melt the last snows of winter.

Reflections of Spring
Hello my friends,
Yesterday I was sitting in front of my (ashamedly) dirty laptop gathering my thoughts, when a springtime reflection inspired me…
Spring is a time for cleaning winter’s white dust from our homes. It is a time for reflection and renewal –
Spring is a time to face new doors of opportunity and be prepared to leap through when they open-
Spring is a time to sow the seeds of dreams and cultivate inspired thoughts –
While traveling down the road of life, we shouldn’t spend too much time reflecting upon past choices –
We may find we don’t have all the answers, but if we pay close attention, life sometimes sends little messages in plain sight –
As we nurture dear optimism, we shouldn’t expend effort reflecting on what the future has in store for us. We should believe when one door closes another sometimes opens –
Rather then cling to the past or dwell on the future, we should cherish the present surrounding us –
And reflect in the joy of Spring’s beauty.
Have a wonderful weekend, my friends… (I will be cleaning my house, beginning with my disgusting laptop!)
