Tinkling

This thing called grief, what is it?    Is it something to fight and conquer or subdue like it's an enemy wanting to hold you down, keep you in it's grip, stifle the life out of you? This is how I have been feeling, like I am held down and captive from fully engaging with life, and yet, there is this ~>
Tinkling, there is this faint awareness of something out there, or perhaps within, or maybe both but it is always there wanting to connect... It is both magical and mystical in nature and I know it can become tangible, these days it is mostly elusive but as long as it calls to me I know I am alive! It is somewhat like the siren calls of mystical mermaids in Greek mythology, beautiful and alluring but perhaps with a hint of risk attached. I have some clues where this thing dwells it can be found in the filtered light coming through some open door or window ~>
Today I came across this beautiful video through an open window, a chance meeting in my life, a coincidence, although some mystics would say there are no coincidences, that everything, every juncture is as it is supposed to be! I'm not sure but what I am sure about is the resonance I had with this conversation. I do not personally know the women chatting but I felt like I was right there with them nodding as they talked about the healing process of creativity how it has the power to transform. It touched me deeply in so many ways, I could relate to this, to past times when creativity gave me a safe place to empty myself while walking the dark paths that straddle life. 
You would be receiving a gift if you were to listen in on the conversation, especially if you need to bring painful hidden feelings to the surface...

The Sensory Light  ~ A creative outpouring for Haiku my Heart ~> 

I hear soft tinkling

drifting with sensory light

whisperer of love
  

I see love and trust

holding hands through the ether

a global embrace


Global embrace feels

love's ever~ quickening pulse

a sisterly vibe


The sisterhood vibe

is spreading love and trust through

a window of words


The window of words

floats with the sensory light

permeating Peace

Joining Rebecca and the circle of friends at ~

Dearest Sue... joining hands with you in this circle of sensory light, looking through the windows of our hearts... thank you for these gifts that you share, they are balm for this time of trying to understand these senseless acts of hurt to each other, for we are truly one... and this thread of creativity... I think it holds the key. Yes. I do. XO

I listened to Flora and Shiloh earlier in the week and wholeheartedly agree. Using our creativity with intention brings healing light to soothe our sorrows.

dearest friend,
may we all send our love light out into this world through our thoughts, words and actions. every moment is a new chance to choose peace. to believe and hold clear intentions for every ones highest and best good. healing is a constant journey. i am so grateful to walk this path right beside you-even though there is an ocean between us-i feel nothing separates us or our love for the world.

Sue...I so enjoyed this post and thank you for introducing me to Flora Bowley's site. I didn't know it at the time, but I turned to a camera to deal with my father's Alzheimer's...and so I know firsthand the healing that creativity brings. Thank you, Thank you. And I adore your image!!

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... Haiku my Heart Recuerda mi Corazon
