"I'm gonna lay down my burden, down by the riverside...
Fading Upon the riverbank I sit in quiet dream and ponder beneath the autumn leaves which conspire to banish summer dreams And even though there is now thistle and dry grasses in sway there is still a faint tale of summer’s free-falling and those sunlit dances of sweet, cool lemonade and gardens...

"When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to resemble
a nail." ~ Abraham Maslow Barren Standing as a testament that love and lover’s healing can sometimes slip and hide behind the shadows Rusted and leaning teetering amidst the barren of broken, blistered or besieged she swallows the bitter pill of disappointment sips from the cup of woe is me Swan...

"...the monotony of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind” ~ Einstein
Solitude I cherish my seclusion my often hermit-like living where sometimes all I know is that sea meets sky and waters speak from mountain springs in a slow, enchanting murmur Solitude not to be confused with disconnect There, amidst the crimson hues of fall, I breathe the air fully as though it...

"You can't put a Band-Aid on every boo-boo; some just need time to heal"
Feast My inner critic judging and mistrusting in ways I never imagined possible Plagued by retrospect and the certainty that I am flawed Yet longingly I reach for the wholeness the essence of me no longer feeling like an uninvited guest at the feast of life

“Discontent is want of self-reliance; it is infirmity of will” ~ Emerson
Luminous My mind though at this time is in a turbid, restless state it churns and churns some more Beneath the murk lies unspeakable things things no one really wants to hear and if they do they nod knowingly yet they know not of what they nod There is neither dreamy or fanciful musing only a world...

“No legacy is so rich as honesty.” ~ William Shakespeare

"Where there is much light, the shadow is deep” ~ Goethe
Shadow There are days when I walk with my shadow offering her both my thoughts and dreams and the slim goddess that follows me everywhere engages me in brilliant discussion We philosophize and share our yearnings Her footsteps in unison with mine remind me that my heart moves in constant beat and my...
