There are some things in life
Meant
To give us pause.
Meant
To spike our curiosity.
Meant
To draw us into a stare.
Meant
To mesmerize us.
Meant
To hold us captive.
Meant
To lull us.
Meant
To allow us quiet.
Meant
To hold our gaze
While it sets our thoughts free.

Enjoy the freedom and take care of yourself, Colleen.

I pause every day Colleen, to open your site and curiously read your meaningful words, and then I lull my senses into my writers haven of captivating music, which sets my mind free to gaze at the garden dragonflies, truly nature’s guardian angels…..xx

I love your space Ivor. It is a blessing to be able to be in a ‘place’ and yet wonder freely.

Only a small space, but it’s my own creative place, designed by me, to be in harmony with me 💙🌏🌏

It’s a wonderful space Ivor. Interesting, last summer I was reading about how small spaces actually help the creative mind. I’ve had that experience. But I’ve also felt very creative standing in a vast forrest!

I think if mind feels like writing, we shall write…. I wrote some lovely poems while I was on cruise 2 years ago…. then 18 months ago China was an inspiration…… almost a year ago I somehow limped over to Philadelphia, and wrote the best poem I’ve every written(Below)…. and now here in my haven, words are pouring from my compassion soul..
🌏💙.. and believe it or not … tears are running down my cheeks….
Dreams of The Heart
I cannot walk the continents
Like the intrepid Marco Polo
But my feet have felt the sands of time
Pass between my toes
I have not sailed the high seas
Like the courageous Christopher Columbus
But my body has bathed
In an ocean full of kind hearts
I’m yet to fly in space
Like the brave Neil Armstrong
But I have reached for the stars
And touched my soul’s dreams

And haven’t we just been given a HUGE blessing to do exactly as you describe here? Let’s celebrate this opportunity to reflect, to pause, to slow down, to remember how to be loving and supportive of one another. This fly go go has stopped. Time to get back to the basics. LOVED this and I thank you!! xo

Ugh. I finally got them fixed. Had to turn everything off. Sign out. Reboot. The works. They wanted me to switch browsers but I was using the preferred browser and did not want to switch everything.
