Supportive Remembrance

Many of you know of the loss of my spouse 8 years ago.  Many things have changed and many different paths were woven for myself and my daughters.   Inspiration from creative activities, whether dance, poetry, art or travel have been healing modalities for us in our loss.

Remembrance of our loved ones often spins us into the past, forgetting our own progress and forgetting our resilient nature.   Remembrance using items of our loved ones is supportive way to treasure yourself and your loved one. It also reduces the clutter and unnecessary things.

This weekend at Scott's Antique Mart in Atlanta I meet two bright and engaging women from a business they call CRAZY BELT LADY.   Their work is pristine, bright and happy like them.   When I saw their belt weaving I couldn't but think what a great way to repurpose loved ones belts into a functional item.  What a great way to gift someone as well.  Flowers last for a while, but how about a footstool or bar stool to prop yourself or friend upon?????

Their website is www.CrazyBeltLady.com . They will work with you on custom design.. Maybe a wall hanging would be your inspiration.  Maybe a cover for a photo album.  Maybe integration of yours and your loved ones belts!!!!!!   Co create.... Re purpose and Celebrate living....

These ladies are not crazy they are heartfelt craftsmen with insightful talent... Take a peak, give them a call, they would love to create with you!!!!

Rain'n Down

Shallow waters
line the street
Rain'n crystals
from heaven
Dashing lighting
spun from clouds

Stepping sideways
brushed with strokes
of grace
I laugh
I remember my childhood,
my father's face

Dear Susan

Dear Susan

You forgot but a moment
of sacredness within not without

You forgot but a moment
that your body was you
not you within your body

You forgot but a moment
that Susan means lilly
within the fields clothed by
God in all circumstances

You forgot but a moment
that your significance within the Holy One,
the Universe was as important as the others
whose feet you wash

Take this moment to remember who
you re, within and without yourself
Holy to to Thyself and The World

Commonwealth

Sustained by each other 
Unlimited by physical distance
We bind ourselves with others in hope
and fore casted futures

We network to create grand results
Yet within common time and with common people

Creating wealth in daily conversation, thoughts and action
The uncommon, perfect result of Love incarnate

Catalogue

Reviewing my life

I remember only pieces
Projecting value and price paid
For experiences and relationships

Catalogue past 
Your choices at your fingertips
No need to wait , it arrives at your doorstep
already prepaid

Recycling the catalogue
Living in the instant acquisition
Instant delivery of what is desired
Thoughts bring them effortlessly to me

Essence

sulpher seizes the moment

things suddenly change
wafting from the stem
a swirling spinning cloud dances


it gently raises its head
farther than my hand can reach
pursuing greater heights
a task perceived with ease


the dance is aromatic
mesmerizing in rhythm
considering nothing but its escape
expansion engulfs its being

seizing this moment
sweetness fills the cavity
of a soul recognizable
it is you and it is me



wafting from our oneness
swirling in our dance
and expanding our essence
we light the fire
 never extinguished

Fog

 

The fog lifts

My breath gets clearer

The shimmer of sun , crisp underfoot alights and delights

My existence

The hovering and shadowing of family as the legions of

Angels sing and dance close by

Awaiting my mental shift 

I long for my marching orders again

When I will  I feel you breathing  more and more life into me

I am reminded of these little things so grand, so pure

I am reminded of the people and things I cherish in the silvery fog  

The important things remain, Love, Forgiveness and
Gratitude
