A Stroll around my Neighbourhood

Did you know?

I have a famous neighbour?

Though she's not actually alive now,

least, not on this plane!

We often go round by my neighbour's house,

it's just over the hedge from my back garden.

One of the things my neighbour's house

is famous for is it's windows.

When the house was built late 16th century,

windows and glass were a luxury,

in fact you might say

they were as valuable as gold!

Golden Windows!

Today we had a leisurely stroll

through our neighbour's garden

it was beautiful,

as the golden evening sun

hit the ice water on one of the

seven ponds.

Next Sunday I'll show the entrance to our neighbour's house.

I love the sunlight reflecting on the windows of the neighbour's home, they're like jewels.

Morning has Broken

Yesterday the black dog came to visit me, the same black dog who used to visit Winston Churchill. When my daughter came around, she could see the black dog had turned up too and that I was completely at his mercy. She made her leave with a simple kiss and goodbye, "hope he goes soon", I nodded in agreement. For when he's around he completely demands my attention and there's no shaking him loose! On retiring I sternly told the black dog I didn't understand the reason for his visit and that I thought I had sat with him for long enough and to be gone in the morning! *** I've not seen him so far, this morning thank goodness !!! It is the beginning of a brand new day, I am grateful for each day of my life... I was at a funeral on Friday, to say we'd anticipated a sad day all turned out most beautifully.... my favourite hymn was sung 'Morning has Broken' On this brand new day I'm sitting here tapping the k...

My Silken Altar

The reflective image below is one taken of my south facing window, which is more like an altar to me because of the ever changing light that allows for embracing the moments of silent connection and praise. I take many photographs from this window as I marvel at the sun's energy to illuminate or in this case reveal through shadows and reflections. This image has been sitting in my file for sometime, it has a hidden message for me that I knew would one day surface... Heart broken open by the mystery of you... love stitches together. Gentle love rides pain like silken thread slips through jute spring balm for raw edge. Stitch with silken love the polarities of life embrace the mystery... Sending to Rebecca for healing...
