Emotions erupted
Out of a clear blue sky
The beauty transformed in a moment
Touched by Spirit
A moment that would not be ignored
She unleashed a bellow
That echoed through time
Created a wind
That was swift and strong
A motion picture
That would stand the test of time
Stillness surrounded her
In gentle blue
Rays of light
Filtered the pain
And she surrendered
To the seed of Love
That was planted in the beginning
Last evening I went to the pool to do my daily exercise. The sky was an incredible blue, and the air was hot and balmy. I looked over the pool house, and I could see the beginning of a beautiful light show. These clouds came out of nowhere, and Mother Nature orchestrated an intense show, with digital sound included! I stopped to look in wonder, and a cacophonous explosion rocked the serenity, and saw me fly out of the pool!

That sky..Is absolutely amazing..! :O
It was crazy beautiful!!! And literally just “appeared!” 🙂
Nature never ceases to surprise eh 🙂
Not ever!!! 😉
WOW!
What a wake up call 🙂
Ah! Yes, Val! In more ways than one 🙂 It was very powerful. Hope you have a super wonderful day! <3
Thank you Lorrie. I hope you are enjoying your day as well 🙂
Wow! What a stunning sky photo!! Just beautiful, Lorrie 🙂
Thanks, Julie 🙂 It was a super wonderful experience. I hightailed it back to get my phone so I could take the photos! Have a wonderful day!
Lovely….nature truly is the best medicine, or at least complimentary 🙂 We’ve been experiencing some intense lightning and thunder storms and I must say when it comes to special effects, no one can quite compare to Mother Nature. Thank you for bringing your nature to me. Love, Harlon
Hello my friend!! I somehow read more into your last sentence 😉 and I like it! I have been accused of having my head in the clouds…and it seems that it is one of my favorite things to photograph so I may be inclined to agree. It is not such a bad place to frequent!! Hope all is super wonderful with you, Harlon! <3 <3
Lovely imagery!
Thanks Dennis! I’m so happy to see you posting again. You move me deeply with every word you write. I am grateful for our connection!
Oh wow! So grateful you shared that exquisite moment and your poem here! Thank you.
🙂 Hi Louise!! Thank you for your beautiful support…I appreciate you so! Many blessings on this Monday morning! <3
Hi Lorrie,
Those clouds and the magnificence of this morning is a beauty to behold. Thank you for sharing these stunning images.
Have a beautiful week,
Ka
Oh…thank you Ka! I am happy you enjoyed it so…I love the beauty in nature that is presented before us every single day!! I wish you many blessings as well!! <3
I love moments like this Lorrie. You capture it beautifully.
Hi Kim! Thank you 🙂 Hope your week is off to a great start!
Wow Lorrie! What a gorgeous sky and poem. The storm sure inspired some fiery feelings and words.
Nice to hear you are out playing, swimming and connecting to beauty. I could use some playtime!
All work and no play….
Thanks, Brad! Yes, I am starting to feel a whole lot better 🙂 Wishing you a week filled with fun, love and laughter!! ♡
I’m glad to hear you’re doing better. May your wishes come true. XD
Stunning scene….beautiful poem and smart that you got out of the pool!
Hahaha! Trust me, Kirt…I got out of that pool in a giant hurry!! 🙂 Thanks for your kind words!
Beautiful poem and awesome Mother Nature captured on camera. Bless you, Lorrie ♥♥♥
Hi Isabella Rose! Thank you so much for your support…I’m happy you enjoyed this one 🙂 The photo came out fairly well for a cellphone! Many blessings right back to you! ♡
Quite superb imagery Lorrie, both photographic and poetic; and I wonder, did you really ‘fly’ out of the pool, or am I perhaps overestimating your powers a little? Go on, you can tell me. 😉
H <3
Honestly, Hariod, I think it is the fastest I have moved in quite a few months!! There may have been just a bit of embellishment with the ‘flying’ comment. 😉 Hehe…you caught me! ♡
I just wondered whether you had adopted a new mode of locomotion that was not knee-dependent Lorrie. 😉
Hahaha! Kind of like the plasticity of the brain that finds other neural pathways…? I WISH!! I did have a dream that I was flying once…just me…I did not have wings. It was so real…I thought I was awake and flying around my bedroom!! And no…I was not taking drugs 😉 And, I am happy to say I hit a few tennis balls yesterday (not very well) but it was wonderful! I am not allowed to “play” while on this medication, but a little hit and giggle is just what the doctor ordered. I have a very, very long road back to competition 🙁 But I will get there!! Thanks for the laugh, Hariod! ♡
Beautiful Lorrie. I used to live in North East Brazil until recently. You would have loved the sky there. It was amazing. I don’t know what it was about the sky there, but it truly is magnificent.
Those clouds look so billowy and fluffy white.
🙂 <3
I am certain I would have loved it, Staci! Thank you so much….there really is something about the sky that I find fascinating 🙂 Wishing you a puffy white cloud of joy!! ♡♡
Such a wonderful poem you have shared here Lorrie.. And what a magnificent display of changing wonder minute by minute our Clouds in the sky bring us.. And you have shared a wonderful magical display..
Wishing you a Magical week.. Love Sue x
Hi Sue!! 🙂 Thank you so much for adding your energy here! Yes…I love the ever changing sky and the beauty it presents to us….it is like a giant canvas and I see it as art!! I hope your summer is going beautifully…wish I could eat some of the lovelies from your gardens!! Much love and many blessings to you! ♡♡
They have been delicious Lorrie.. and those we have shared the produce with have enjoyed also.. Sorry you can only do a virtual reality tasting LOL… 🙂 Love to you Sue <3
What a wonderful azure sky..the calmness perfectly complemented by your words… 🙂
Thank you my friend! I’m so happy to share the special moment with you 🙂 Have a super beautiful week ♡♡
Absolutely amazing!!!
Hi Laura…how are you? Thanks so much…I can only imagine the photo you would have taken! Hope all is super wonderful in your world!! 🙂
You’re so welcome, and hiya Lorrie. 🙂 Things are chugging along here. I really love your photo.
That glorious sky and the beautiful poem moves me too! It’s like surrender to the light 🙂
Ah! Tiny…’surrender’ seems to be the lesson I am in the midst of! How wonderful that you see it portrayed in the photo! Sending you a giant hug ♡
Reading your poem is energizing… what a beautiful sky… but I think it’s just a little bit of huge skies within your generous heart 🙂 ♥
Ah! My dearest Frédéric 🙂 Thank you for your super sweet words, you always touch my heart with your loving kindness. I send you wishes for a wonderful day, filled with light and live!! ♡♡
LOVE!!! 😉
Such Beautiful pictures of the sky.. lovely.. The poem is brilliant 🙂
Thank you Himali!! I’m so happy you got to feel a little bit of how wonderful that moment was 🙂 Have a super wonderful day!! ♡
Thanks for sharing Lorrie 🙂
I was laughing with you on this one… I know what you mean about flying. I still remember an incident when I was a boy, waiting for a piano lesson, when I hopped from the parking lot down a short embankment into a creek bed. This is what boys do, right? Get their feet all muddy before practicing their scales. Scales will prove shortly to be a horrible pun, because I landed within striking distance (another bad one) of what I still believe was a copperhead snake. I don’t know what happened next, but I think the world ran in reverse for a few frames, as I apparently jumped directly back out– do not pass go… I’m quite sure a good blast of thunder could scare a hippopotamus into a 40″ vertical leap…
I loved your poem, too, and the movement of the BANG of the sky into the opening of the heart…
And tennis…!! It’s all coming together, Lorrie!
Much Love
Michael
Ah! Michael! I loved your story and you painted a visual that I could see so clearly, and that would most certainly have evoked the same response from me!! Oh, and the vertical leap from the hippo….yes…had me laughing on the floor!! 😉
Thanks my friend, a laugh from the belly covers the heart with love ♡
I have a few of your posts that I am holding in a sacred place, because I believe I will read them in exactly the perfect time for me. Or, maybe, I am hoarding them, keeping them in a safe place so as to keep you near? Or, quite possibly I am operating from a place of fear because your words always shine a light on truth for me and I just may be in a place of denial right now.
Well…there…at least I have started the process of unraveling this mystery. I have a stack of your posts lying in wait and your new one from last night. I’m a bit shocked that I am writing this all here, but it is truth and I believe a piece of a larger puzzle that I am currently making a picture out of! Please know that I am here…and I will be there…soon ♡ Thank you my friend…I know you will understand.
Hi Lorrie, all in perfect time… I hope my posts are more of a gentle turning of our view towards something mysteriously good that we all share, rather than a study in contrast. I’m feeling as though our need for contrast is fading… we’re simply leaning towards truth, sliding the tall grass out of the way to see it a little better… Pointing together, at what is meant for us to discover in unison…
Much Love, Lorrie, my friend!
Michael
I love this response, Michael! I think it is a beautiful thing, “our need for contrast is fading!” My contrast is self imposed and I am working hard to not work hard! I guess what I am saying is there is some resistance going on inside me. I am in the middle of learning a rather gigantic lesson, and even though I know I will come out the other side more whole the ‘growing pains’ of this one are very uncomfortable.
Please understand that you are so very important to me. The fact that I would create a distance from you is evidence that I am reverting to old victim energy, because your energy is beautiful and your words always elevate me to new heights of spirituality.
The good news is that I now recognize what is happening and I will shower myself with love, and that will enable me to shift this energy that used to grip me from all angles. Much love and heartfelt gratitude for all the light in your soul!! ♡
I like how you shared the two different perspectives in time, both so spectacular, reminding me why my favorite color is blue. It amazes me how the sky can change in the blink of an eye.
Yes…JoAnne!! The same way our lives can change in the blink of an eye! I’m so happy you could feel both dimensions and I’m so happy to have you in my life!! Many blessings dear friend! ♡
same here, Lorrie dear! <3 Lady Nature is THE most perfect artist – by definition and by excellence… 🙂
YES!!! So spectacular, in all ways! Thanks for your spirit, Me’lanie ♡
Powerful and Inspiring!
Thank you for sharing this.
Blessings,
Theresa
Oh, Theresa. Thank you so much for your beautiful presence here. I hope all is wonderful in your world ♡
So beautiful Lorrie <3 we are trying to go on evening walks everyday and I agree there is nothing as refreshing as nature 🙂
Hi Neha! That is so wonderful…an evening walk is perfect…does your cute little doggie get to go? 😉 Thanks for stopping by!
<3 My doggie goes on four walks everyday….he is with my parents and sister back in Canada 🙂 but will be visiting me in the States soon and going for walks with me again haha
Oh, Neha…I didn’t know your baby wasn’t with you 🙁 I’m sorry! ♡♡
it’s ok i miss him a lot but he is on skype every day with my mom so i get to see him 🙂 he is going to come visit me from Christmas 🙂
Hi Lorrie, love this post, your blog is so peaceful and beautiful!
Thank you so much!! I’m happy you feel that way 🙂 May you always be able to find this energy ♡
Absolutely gorgeous! And a smart move on your part to come flying out of the pool after a cacophonous explosion! LOL! 😀
Things move and change quickly sometimes 😉 Have a beautiful week!
The beauty in nature shows the beauty in the nature of our Lord! He is an awesome God and we can only imagine His fullness in talent and love…
Steve
