Someone's Praying Lord

today was spent burning brush from yesterday's work

there is something soothing about sitting by fire

all afternoon my feathered ones flitted from tree to tree

diving low over my head...across the fire

and they sang

not the warning song of hawks visit

but

chittering

chattering

happy sounds

i know what they were singing...

 

kumbaya my lord...kumbaya

kumbaya my lord...kumbaya

 

 at the end of the day

with a good cup of coffee

i sang too

Words Over Coffee

chaos

uninvited visitor

cross the threshold

of my mind

over coffee

whispers:

we make ourselves miserable

or make ourselves strong

the effort is the same

wise words

my

friend

Unbidden....

...and coffee

 

morning meditation completed...

 waiting now on the sunrise...

with aching muscles...

not the bad kind...

ones earned from honest laboring

digging ...

shovelful...

after shovelful...

after shovelful...

the making of a fire pit

i long to sit...

blanketed in stars... 

 flames hypnotically dancing...

fire...

stars...

 shadows...

 a good kind of

darkness...

not the kind that is...

unbidden...

 

 

Feeling Blessed…..

I love to greet each day on my porch..

coffee in hand…listening to the feathered

ones chittering amongst themselves as they

prepare for a new day. I sit…wrapped

in a blanket against the chill…

feeling blessed…

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…. 

m.i.a.

well, i guess you thought i'd dropped off the face of the earth! it kinda felt like it for a while. my four year old grandaughter has been in the hospital for a week which hasn't been a pleasant experience for anyone concerned. she came home today and is doing fine. my number one priority was a decent cup of coffee once the dust settled. after brewing some coffee and trying to catch up on my cyber life i ran across these coffee creations. these were done by some talented folks! just look at the detail in this girl.
this one would be great for halloween guests.
i got these pictures from a site called weirdomatic.com by alexandra. check out the other coffee art on her site here.

as for me, i'm gonna enjoy another cup of joe, put my feet up, and catch up on some of my favorite reads! it's gonna be mighty fine sleeping in my own bed tonight, no nurses, no noise, no hospital coffee!
