Pondering

 

Salty cheese and a glass of wine

A different time

a different era

Where voluptuous curves were what artists wrote about

What the most glorious painters painted about

The round about curtsey of a respectable girl

who’s hair all acurl

Made even the most proper woman’s brow curl

A time of allure

Where femininity could endure

a lifetime of salty cheese and a glass of wine.

3 Little Problems of the Creative Mind

Photographers

They spend so much time looking through the lens knowing the importance of capturing a moment, the moment so that it can forever be shared with the world but yet so often missing out on living in the moment.

Writers

They can’t wait to tell their story.  When it’s time to write, it’s time, you can only wait so long before the idea passes or your muse leaves, often wishing to record moments of the past forgetting to participate in the present.

Readers

They get so engrossed in the stories and facts they read that they long for the next moment that they can escape back to their story.

So really there is one problem, often the problem of existing and living in the moment.

So live your passion but don’t forget to also live your life, in the moment!

Swinging to and fro

Undecided on which way to go

Pacing

Erasing every possibility of moving forward

Stuck rocking

Swaying

In place

Rythmically,

Held together by a metal brace Continue reading

The Clarity of Stone

Carefree Joy

Natures Love Song

The tree covered hill tops

Alive with the chirping of birds

Their songs echoing

Providing solace and joy to my soul

They sing their song

Encouraging nature along,

Natures love song

Giving rise to the earth

Innocence

Interpretation.

 

 

Innocence

Shunned, ashamed,

you turn away

but you know no other way.

This too shall pass

It’s only a season,

that must be the reason.

You muster up the strength,

lift yourself up off the floor.

What was once,

is no more.

Shadows and Flowers

*ORIGINAL POST DATE APRIL 5th*

So this morning I happened upon the blog naming constellations.  More specifically a piece entitled Slow Rhapsody http://namingconstellations.wordpress.com/2013/03/07/slow-rhapsody Maybe it was all the bacon talk (I love me some bacon) or his writings that reminded me of the weightiness that winter can bring (being Canadian I am well aware of this feeling) or maybe it was his beautiful poem.  But what I do know is that I was immediately inspired to write and this is what came of it.

You never know who is reading or what your writings can do for other people.

Trust your instincts. Trust your intuition. I can’t say that enough.

Shadows and flowers (spring is in the air)

It’s so close yet it seems so far.

The hint of a memory, like a glimmer of a shadow that catches your attention out of the corner of your eye, certain that you saw it you turn your head to find there’s nothing there, you turn your head even more with hopes of finding even a fading shadow. 

You realize it was never there only a distant memory of what was.  

But you know.  You remember. 

You can recall the smells, the sights and the sounds.  

Your body becomes alive, your senses heightened.

Somehow you know.

The flowers are about to grow.

I am vacationing to a chalet in the eastern townships of Quebec for a family gathering this weekend.  We’ve rented a chalet to celebrate Granddad’s 90th birthday.

I am bringing two crock pots full of sausages and bacon.

I will be wearing my rubber boots.

And I will be searching for where the flowers are about to grow.
