The Art of Grace

State of Grace Calling out His name, in passionate whispers, We lift our gaze to the heavens. Hope wells within; We are known … We are loved.

Remembrance Day

Almost four years ago, I logged onto Blogit and began to post my poetry. My nephew had just died and I used writing as a tool to process the grief.

The Journey

REFLECTIONS The water in this picture mirrors the shore which causes me to ask the question, "If I am the water, who do I mirror?" Who are the people who stand on the shore teaching me about life? Who are the people who help me "growup?" Who are the individuals who help me find the courage to... Sign in to see full entry.

After visiting a dear friend ...

Determined to slow down ...

I'm determined to slow down and watch for moments where I, or someone around me, can convey love, loyality and maybe a bit of kindness to a friend, a neighbor, a loved one, and even a stranger. Here's my first moment, caught on camera, of my grandsons. Unspoken One brief... Sign in to see full entry.

His Divine Grip In the still, quiet moment A familiar warmth envelopes me Like the comfort of a favorite jacket on a cold winter’s day And I dare not move, nor take a breath Lest He leaves …So I remain frozen …waiting …in the stillness waiting …in the moment …longing for.. anticipating … Him.....

Winter brings a freeze

Life is made up of seasons and quite honestly the last 2 years have been a winter blast!

About this Blog

Life is meant to be reflected upon. If not, it becomes a blur of words and actions, minutes blending with days and days blending with years. Poetry has been one of my outlets; an avenue with which I can express my personal reflections.
