Oh yes indeed,
Human
Hearts are reaching out in little ways
Long
Before
They fall to their knees exhausted and desperate.
Look and see.
Listen and hear.
Observe with all your senses.
Love. Love. Love.
Oh yes indeed,
Human
Hearts are reaching out in little ways
Long
Before
They fall to their knees exhausted and desperate.
Look and see.
Listen and hear.
Observe with all your senses.
Love. Love. Love.
Dehydration headache
From a challenging yet refreshing hike
Yesterday;
Never seem to drink enough water.
I am too distracted by beauty that catches my eyes.
I get tickled by these things.
Even the snakes. They terrify my but I cannot stop looking and wondering.
Bumble bees and wasps.
Spiders and caterpillars.
Hawks and vultures.
The different trees and different leaves.
The greens and the blues, the grays and the browns.
And the way is rocky so I have to stop quite often and gaze otherwise
I might trip and fall a very long way.
Then I stay up too late watching the
Fireflies dance in the forest.
They never cease to make me giggle with delight.
Never.
They mesmerize me.
My eyes trying to focus between the dark
And the light of their
Flitting fire.
I cannot even guess where they may light up
So I try not to blink leaving my eyes to soften
Without looking at one point.
Anticipation.
Be bold.
Look into your own
Brilliance.
For you will go blind,
But for the first time
You will see.
Not much for words today
Silence will have to do.
But you know this as soon as she looks at you,
And so you touch her cheek.
And lean in close
The loudest love without
A sound.
Quickening.
This unfolding.
Turning
Shifting
Reaching
For
The newfound
Prism of
Uncountable
Bursts. Energies within.
Fascination.
Life.
To live fully
These breaths that fill my
Lungs.
Expanding each step,
Each glance internal,
Above
Around
Below
Learning
As if never knowing everything about anything.
Open. Never full. Ever room for more.
Opening with every blink of an eye to new
Knowings.
If you never stop and look
You will never see
If we pay close attention.
If we choose to listen,
To look,
To feel.
To notice.
We will learn something new
Every day.
She stood in the kitchen and looked out the window.
She gasped at what she saw.
Her shoulders dropped and her arms went limp.
Hanging her head and turning her gaze to the floor
She whispered softly to herself,
“I just don’t think I can do it anymore.
I
Cannot make it
Through
Another
Storm.”
A silent, lonely tear rolled down her cheek.
Then she felt his hand on her shoulder.
“My precious Angel,
Why do you cry?”
“Look at me here,” she replied.
“My clothes are all tattered and torn. I am a mess and still weak from the last storm.”
He stood in front of her then
And with a loving hand lifted her chin so
He could meet her eyes and softly said,
“When the storm comes, and we know it will,
Whatever you do this time just hold me tight and
Don’t
Let
Go
Like you have done before.
Together we can love through anything.
You don’t have to stand alone like you always do.
You have never had to do it by yourself,
But you instinctively let go.
Don’t let go.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on through the storm.”
This is who I am.
Who I have always been.
But you stand there and gaze through me,
Like you have never seen me.
I am left puzzled
As to where
Exactly
You
Have
Been looking all this time.
