Fingers slide upon the strings as if to bring them life. Melody to float in air Rhythm expanding like smoke in flame, covering, filling the lungs, breathed deep Passion ignited as spirit and soul unite to bring purpose, meaning, substace...wings to the things that move us. Who we are and who we're meant to be … Continue reading Music

Fallen
At what point do we cease to stand? When the lie has consumed the mind to blur truth to mere suggestion? Is there a moment when our spirit screams? Maybe it's long before we've reached the edge. Maybe it's that first sighting of the precipice, when a small voice says "looky there". Maybe it's then … Continue reading Fallen
Movement
This morning when I woke up, the outer bands of Isaac were still making their way across Southwest Florida. It was beautiful. We slept peacefully last night to the sound of the rain. School was cancelled so we didn't have to get up at five AM which was a plus. I looked out the window and … Continue reading Movement
Hurricane Isaac
We're busy getting ready for Hurricane Isaac. We're hoping it will be no more than a few thunderstorms (a phenomenon we in south Florida are quite comfortable with) but with each new advisory, we are realizing we should feel the force of a category 1 storm. Naples is officially under a hurricane warning so, as … Continue reading Hurricane Isaac
Majesty
Wading deeply into light (formless substance we are unable to hold still more solid than any reality) Your cloak composed of starlight Bright fire from your eyes escapes to cover the earth with heat Majestic you rise to take your place A realm man cannot fathom Vast beyond dream yet existing in...on...around You only, are everything … Continue reading Majesty
Vapor
We aren’t promised tomorrow so live today as though you mean it. Clichés are so easy to say until you’re staring at the end of the tunnel wondering what went wrong. I’ve spent so much time talking about seizing moments, creating opportunities and defining destiny. Then I think about how little I’ve accomplished and I … Continue reading Vapor
Pumpkin
I fear that if I don't go to bed before midnight, I might become a pumpkin I worry only about change I cannot change Anxious for nothing, I ponder the reasons I fall to deep emotion Balance is sometimes hard to attain The cliff of same before me, something sacred this way comes Freedom from … Continue reading Pumpkin
In Light of Argument
Brush back the tears I thought had dried Slowly bound by in between Is there a riddle to things behind unlocking the scars in me? Tonight I'm yarn knotted to nonsense, twisted aimlessly behind the noise that screams behind your eyes A promise I believe will hold me pounding steady rhythms on my aching … Continue reading In Light of Argument
I think today I’ll become a golfer
My husband took me to the golf course with him. It was great! I finally understand why so many people want to play golf. Since I liked tagging along so much he bought me my very own set of golf clubs and now I'm beginning the arduous journey of learning how to use them. Who … Continue reading I think today I’ll become a golfer
Of Life and Pinatas
My son just turned six as you can see by my previous post “Birthday Thoughts from a Mushy Mom”. In typical “mushy mom” fashion, I let him convince me that he NEEDED a piñata to celebrate properly. Even in the store while purchasing said piñata all I could think about was America’s Funniest Home Videos … Continue reading Of Life and Pinatas
