Life



LIFE

 “Where there is love there is life.” 

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle.
 The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
  Albert Einstein







She sat by the river bed and watched as the water trickled gently caressing, kissing, hugging the pebbles and rocks, as it washed their delicate, harsh grey and colored skins, moisturizing them, clearing them, embracing them, giving them life.

Life! she thought. "What a curious thing. It takes us to places one would've never known and may drown us in its many circumstances if we do not use the tools that are given to us through the heart. When we don't turn in and listen to that still peaceful, quiet voice within that for sees what may be coming into our lives and keeps us from falling in places that are not much fun to endure. That voice that calls us to awaken, that lies deep within the soul, the essence of the Light of who we truly are. The life saver that brings us afloat when we make choices derivatives from fears and uncertainty. That voice that calls us through a song, a phone call, a nudge, a whisper, a thought.

She then bends and rests her knees on the delicate silk grass that stretches comfortably on the side of the river bed.  She views her quivered reflection on the mirror of the water, where a gentle small waterfall in the middle, center of the shallow waters runs through inviting her to come in. She touches the water with her delicate fingers and feels the cold, fresh, enticing water run through them awaking something in her, a sensation of bliss, while the waterfall in the center of the river continued to greet and invite her to come in and rest beneath it.

She gently took of her clothes and stepped into the ice cold water as she stretched and swam to lay underneath the waterfall, that awakened every part of her being. She loved it! A giggle came from her soul as she felt embraced by nature and its nakedness and purity. What a delight, as she rested her back and felt the water run through her every particle and the sun shining its face and rays upon her skin warming, cuddling her, embracing her as it did with the rocks and the pebbles and any other living thing that was blessed by the water; giving her one of the best and most pleasurable experiences of life.




Life! What a curious thing. It takes us to places one would've never known and may drown us if we don't listen to that still small voice called: "LOVE!"

Celebrating Father's Day & Summer Solstice

  ! Happy Father's Day & Summer Solstice   Hi Everyone,   We are midway into June. Summer is here! It is nice to see everyone coming out of their caves, riding bicycles, playing tennis, golf and so many other sports Yes, pool included which is where I dive almost in every day to refresh from the heat.  The heat is really on sometimes. The sun is flaming strong these days warming us sometimes more than we'd like. Sometimes it feels like we are about to melt. In some places the temperature is rising over one hundred degrees Fahrenheit, 38 degrees C.     That is why a good splash in a cool lake, the ocean or a pool can be so inviting even an ice-cold shower is soothing when it is the only thing available.   How is your Summer getting started? We are also celebrating Father's Day this month. What are you doing to celebrate this time? Whether you are a father yourself and/or are celebrating your father. What are ways you feel th...

When Old Souls Meet

 When  Old Soul Meet It was dark. The night had fallen. The curtain of the day had drawn coming to its end. She sat by the window viewing the trees that stood proud and firm beyond and before her, as the wind blew and made its branches gently rock, dance. She sighed kicking off her shoes, rubbing  her feet as she lay to rest in the small peach sofa bed she sometimes fell asleep in.  She continued to view out the window as the night grew dimmer. Far away she could see a star or two and recognized it was Orion - the three stars in the center of a square. Again. She sighed. Was it the beginning? Was it the end? She untied and loosened her long brown hair that was set tight in a high ponytail. Her long pink fingernails brushed through her hair as she let go of the day. Then as she continued to view out the window, his image came into her mind. She had not thought about him for a very long time. An increasingly long time. The memories started to creep in and cuddle her to...

Betty the Bumble Bee

Betty the Bumble Bee Time is ticking and so is Elda's heart. She sat on the back porch of her house on the old wooden rocking chair that squeaked every time she gently rocked back and forth, back and forth. The rays of the sun were settling through the uncombed branches of the trees and garden where many wild animals nest and thrive. She knew it was coming close. She knew. She had had dreams about it and her whole body could feel it. A shift. A major shift. How it was going to take place was still inquirious. Yet, that it was going to happen, was a certainty. She drifted into a sleep, as the rocking chair continued to nestle her with its squeaky song, helping her to fall into a deep slumber. All of a sudden, the wind blew strong, forcing the screen door to open, blowing into Elda's face, awakening her, as it stirred and uncombed her long silky blond hair. She stretched and lifted her delicate body and walked into the side door, where she had, a...
