NIGHT

Across the night...…through the night...…in the night Churning….flowing…...sliding into a welcome pocket To settle and rest…....just rest…....feel some peace and comfort - Flying.....….is that what it means to have given in at last?

WATER

(Note: I looked and looked for this today in my continued excavation...I remembered writing it when I first came on Blogit. I woke up one morning from a deep sleep about two months after I had started writing and the first lines were very clear to me - maybe they were about myself, I don't know...

FEARLESS HEART

**I'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH OLD POSTS, REVIEWING MY LIFE WHEN I FIRST DISCOVERED BLOGIT BECAUSE IT'S BEEN TEN YEARS....AND I WAS AT A CROSSROADS IN LIFE THEN JUST LIKE I AM NOW....IT'S INTERESTING, AND HELPFUL, TO ME TO REVIEW THINGS I WROTE THEN AS I TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT I'M DOING NOW.

DISAPPROVAL

Cold lips pursed tightly in disapproving swaths Ashes disguised as words froth silently forth, For the tongue is stuck against dry cheeks... Moisture fled into recesses long buried deep. This mouth cannot hold humor or feelings.... This mouth holds no sweetness to impart Anything but scathing... Sign in to see full entry.

MARCH MADNESS...ANOTHER ELYSIAN FIELDS MEMORY

Among Daddy’s many duties as Principal at the combined schools of Elysian Fields, he had to coach both the girl’s and boy’s basketball teams....I don’t recall how long, but I know we moved there when I was 4, and that at some point before I was in the first grade I spent at least one season, maybe...

LICKING WHIPPED CREAM FROM THE SKY...(A RE-POST)

As I drove from south to north, I watched the sun set, and saw the day put to bed; Slowly the colors of the sun gathered all to the left...a show of pinks and oranges. The rays of light splaying out were illuminating not only to the scenic Flint Hills That Kansas advertised in signs along the byways... Sign in to see full entry.

Should sometime soon someone summon… Shutting, silencing serious soliloquy, Senses swirling simultaneously, Surrender silently,... Sign in to see full entry.

I have been thinking about other candidates for the samplers for my daughter and granddaughters and have come up with some ideas....but there are so many to choose from.

ABOUT MY GRANDFATHER, SAMPLERS AND WHERE IT ALL STARTED GOING DOWNHILL...

My paternal grandfather was a commercial artist with a studio when he and my grandmother first married....I have a funny photo taken in that studio with him making a face with his two employees laughing. On the walls and stacked against the floor are examples of signs they had printed and sketched... Sign in to see full entry.

COLD WEATHER TREAT

It's been so cold here the last few days, I dug out a recipe for Bonnie to make for her grandkids and thought I'd share it here in case anyone else might like to give it a try. If you like to warm your insides up and you like chocolate....well, this is a special treat. I have my great-grandmother's... Sign in to see full entry.
