As I walk so freely on my path
I know in my heart
That I am guided by love
The faith I feel as each obstacle is unveiled
Surpasses the fear of the multiple unknowns
I look inside through different eyes
And there is a kaleidoscope of colors
That grow in their hue
And depth of meaning
What once was used to hurt
Now only shows in shadows
Weeds to be plucked
Origin to be noticed
I am growing my love
From the inside out
And the light that surrounds my being
Has an essence that I felt before
And I remember
When my soul
Was tethered
Only to love
Blessitude!
Lorrie ❤

Yes, Sue! ‘Opening tight buds!’ I surmise that we will always have some of that work to do…yes? I am so happy to post and to feel the loving energy of our community here. Life has been very hectic and it has been hard to be in creative energy. I am creating…just a different kind of creating 😉
I hope that you are enjoying life and you must be in your garden…yes? I have such a funny story…I was in a plant store (outside and it was raining.) I lost my balance (I was pushing a cart) and I tried every way I could not to fall…but my foot slipped under the metal shelving they had beautiful arrangements in. My friend turned and saw the whole thing happen…just as I went ‘down’ ever so slowly…and landed right smack dab on one of those beautiful arrangements!! I felt so bad as I tried to fluff it up again. The next thing you knew we were laughing so hard that tears were coming out of our eyes…and people were walking by with very strange looks on their faces!! We won’t soon forget my soft landing!!
Thank you my sister…I have missed you. Sweet blessings ❤ ❤ ❤

Oh..you betcha, Mary!! Loads of it I send to you. I should have known it was the election because it ‘threw me’ too!!!
It has turned out to be one of those times in life that seem like a bad dream and couldn’t possibly be happening…and yet everywhere I turn I see evidence that it isn’t a dream. And the worst part is ‘the people’ don’t appear to be waking up…no matter how ridiculous it all appears!! I’ve tried not to bring it here, too much, but i think like you…that there is a degree of ‘stuffing’ these feelings down/away…and quite possibly the light gets turned down also.
Sorry for the rant…i just want you to know that my heart feels your pain.
I hope you get to be in nature this weekend and that your muse touches your soul 💜
