Alive

Why do we feel more alive
in the spring and in the summer?

Is it because of the beautiful dance of life
blossoming all around us
as nature gradually unfolds?

Or is it, perhaps, quite simply
because our senses are once again unveiled
free to join in and rediscover a world
where our hearts truly belong?

The Delight of Mini-Creations...

 How delightful it is to not only behold a beautiful creation,
but to be, oneself, a mini-creator!

 

 To create anything,
From a simple pencil drawing to a self-composed song,

from a batch of freshly baked brownies to a hand-made card,

a painted vase of hand-picked flowers, a home-sewn soft toy,

pieces of wood and stone, selected with care and lovingly adorned,...
the list of possibilities is endless, and thankfully so.

For it is in these moments of mini-creations
that we feel a joy,
a sense of connection of taking part in the process
of discovery, and life.

In the Wind

In one gust of wind...

I smell a myriad of lovely scents, from nature's sweet, wild kitchen,
I feel the warm touch of summer and the cool breeze of fall,

I see my best days of childhood, as lost dreams are revived.

In one gust of wind...

I taste the sweet kiss of love.

When the Earth turns Green again...

 Wild children of the forest,
once a lushful jungle green,
brave, kind and strong are we...
and it calls us to be free!

Its powerful force, staggering beauty, gentle whispering flow draws me in...
and I know this is where I belong.

 With trembling, and in awe, I answer the call. 

To bo one, to be whole, to be home.
I am a child of the forest.

Dream of Home

The Path Unknown...

What does it mean
to follow your dreams?
To step out and face the unknown?

Excuses?
No more!

Fears are real,
but we face them head-on
and keep our eyes fixed straight ahead.
