Moon: Grandmother of the Human Heart

Moon...grandmother of the human heart: 

"Love is indecipherable. Perhaps it is easier for us to write about power..because its force field is tangible and its outcomes may be hooked onto the ends of our pens. Maybe it is more straightforward to find good words to invoke integrity or truth..because they shine through those things that oppose them or deny them. Magic can be caught in the clever twist of a sentence..and the many fluid expressions of sadness might be laid with little difficulty into a phrase. But how is it possible for us to adequately describe the simplicity and complexity of love? Our emotions are drawn by the tides..responsive waves of feeling that are small and immense..brilliant and tender..potent and wild. We are oceans created in many harmonizing and churning layers by our emotional deep waters. Here is the salty pitch of our longing and here the soft tone of our compassion. Here is the pale whisper of our bewilderment and the dark timbre of our anxiety. Here are the cold high notes of our clarity. Each one of us is a watery choir of feelings. But underneath all this noise there is something else going on. This full-bodied swell is underpinned by a single rhythm that steadily resounds along the perimeter of our awareness..a constant beat that may rise into a resonant crescendo or pulse gently behind melodic confusion. But it is insistent..strong and always present somewhere in the mix. That sound is love..indecipherable love. Love which rouses..impels and gives purpose to the drumming of our human hearts.

Thanks Given

i have so much more to be thankful for than i could ever list here.

this old faithful body still carries me through each achingly beautiful

day...i am still filled with curiosity and wonder at all this earth has to

offer...i can explore each day under deep blue skies and sit each

night cloaked in stars as i feel the moon's heartbeat...and the knowing

of this fills my heart with a gladness that is palatable...i still think

deeply...love fiercely...hope relentlessly...and breathe in God's love

for me...i am protected by angels and provided for by the universe...

and i bow my head daily in gratitude for this. i am truly blessed...

and on this day of giving thanks...i send blessings to each of you.

happy thanksgiving...

Life Lessons

i started my morning with a little journaling.

it's been hot and rainy this past week... outside

is like a sauna...and i'm waiting for the grass to

dry enough to mow my yard.

i've put my car camping adventure on hold for a

while. i had someone living in a house that i own

next door who packed an overnight bag and walked

out leaving the place in a terrible mess. so during

this heat...and in between the rains...i've spent my

time carrying off trash and junk. one week down

and i'm only on the kitchen! i'm really not liking

how it looks like i'll be spending my summer....on

top of the money spent to have a trailer hitch installed

and purchase a small utility trailer so i can clean 

this house. 

oh well...

Decorating for Christmas

Well….I finally finished my Christmas decorating.

….this is it!

   LOL

Boundless and Infinite….

I want to live simply.

I want to sit by the window when

it rains and read books I'll

never be tested on.

I want to paint because I want to,

not because I've got something to prove.

I want to listen to my body,

fall asleep when the moon is high

and wake up slowly,

with no place to rush off to.

I want not to be governed by money

or clocks or any of the artificial

restraints that humanity

imposes on itself. I just want to be,

boundless and infinite.

Both this image and this quote are from

Facebook so I don't know who to

attribute either of them to but I think they

 are both awesome! When I read this 

quote I realized that I'm pretty

much there….and very blessed to be

able to say this. And the image…well

it just seemed to be representative of

my life….blessed….

blessed indeed….
