i am keeping this one in i think it is beautiful, over exposed something i have been feeling myself.
sound ( sent to me by someone dear)
the sun is warming parts of the table as i type this to you, i want to be warmed by it too. the sunlight is touching so many things as i look around, everything looks both delicate and beautiful. i think i have taken half breaths for too many days now and i wait patiently for a deep long one. yesterday i searched for the sea, water, i needed water and i found it just as it too was being touched by the sun.
I am ready to be quiet, quiet before the snow comes and winter tucks me in. i want to speak only if what i say can be of use to anyone. i want to fill some of what has been lost and stay still. i want my hands to hold a bow and wood of something that can make sound after sound until i learn it and it learns me. i want to burn bridges in order to self preserve, it is what i do remember i told you that....
i want to be better for you, them and for those i have not met yet. i want to be better for myself-too myself and just maybe then the sun light will touch me.

Such a beautiful post. I love your words here.
I love the winter as well -- when the world is silent enough to hear the snow falling. So many years the snow comes and each time it is still the same feeling. It is always a gift. The world's bustle, the push and shove of becoming something, as though you have been nothing all along, diminishes those simple gifts.
It is good to be silent sometimes, to breathe. It is then we are able to hear the whispers of our true selves.
I believe you know your truth. Abide in the silence of winter. I will as well.
All good things to you.

that ibm music is mesmerizing. I could have it on endless loop.... also...your words...
Your words, delicate and beautiful, float upon the sea; tranquil, full of life, deep. Glad you found her, she offers such reassurance to me too. I second your response to winter’s call.
Over exposure isn't always negative. It sometimes presents us with the most beautiful images.
Your post is so very lovely today; the words, the images touched my soul. The photos reminiscent of the ferry landings throughout Puget Sound from my childhood, before population growth explosion, and those quiet, still little coves to which we went for a camping trip or picnic outing. Your thoughts are treasures for me to savor over and over....thank you.

Breathtaking. I really resonated with this post and for that I am grateful. Thank you for sharing with us.
oh my! Gorgeous beyond words
Hello,
I have visited your blog but never commented, i hope you allow for the following.
You write "i only want to speak if what i have to say is useful to anyone" I hardly know anyone who's words are more useful than yours to the human spirit. You seem to share something that comes from such an authentic place in a beautiful and gracious way.
