HAIKU
The rocks seem content
with the flow from the Creator
a spring of lullaby
*
…how the material can move to the spirit…
SUMMER NIGHT’S DANCE
HAIKU
How I love to dance
under twinkling cosmic skies
grasping for their mysteries
*
“In the trees the night wind stirs, bringing the leaves to life, endowing them with speech; the electric lights illuminate the green branches from the under side, translating them into a new language.” –E.B. White
THE WATER OF LIFE
White Lace Painting by Nancy Wood
HAIKU
The water is fluid
as a lacy tapestry
so just keep on flowing
*
“Water is a teacher, a healer, a mirror.” –Jennifer Williamson
*
…like running water that doesn’t stale….revive in its current…
AVOID DEHYDRATION
HAIKU
Easy to get hot
when the temperature rises
cool down with water
*
…glow supple skin with plenty of water…
GIFT & MEMORY
AFFIRMATION
“Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.” –Henri JM Nouwen
*
“This is a recipe for happiness. Gift and Memory.
Remember every day – everything is given to us as full gift
To serve even when you feel tired or sick. Never forget where we came from.
Whatever we receive must be given out freely.
Joy is a free gift from God. Ask Him for it!” –Pope Francis
BEING HAPPY
Whimsical HAIKU
Free and happy feet
tickling grass – avoiding hot sand
in my sunny flip-flops
GARDEN SO PURE
The Bench by Edouard Manet
ARTFUL WRITING
Join me on the stony path and sit with me in this mystical garden…that I may share a secret with you.
See how my loyal Lema and Coco-Ranger hunt for sweet whiffs of grass. I gladly share this peace with you. I am my best present moment in this lush panorama. Do you see God smiling at us in rich rendezvous. Grace lives here. We can be real with Him. Tell Him your concerns. He’ll give us wisdom to live out our lives. I’m so glad we’re here together. Hopefully, you will come away refreshed and happy. Do come back anytime.
