Sailing into Joy

Sometimes we're feeling it,
sometimes we're not ...
Sometimes our boat
has slipped right into the
doldrums
without our knowing
or
even run aground!
No matter how we heave and push we're going nowhere,
we know we must wait,
wait for the moment.

For we know that just as we
slipped into the gloom,
we will effortlessly slip away,
 in a moment.

In the blinking of an eye
 winds will change direction,
the tide will turn
and
off we go sailing into
JOY

oh sue...lovely sailing with you on your wisdom of peace.
thank you for the respite. for me it has a blustery day, i am completely exhausted...so moored on the sand edge and waiting is a welcome relief!
especially if the waiting is beside you!

much love,
rebecca

It seems like things are changing ever more quickly, that we're either feeling like we're sucked away by a rip tide or flung far inland by great waves of chaos. And then we wait -- for balance to be restored, for some hint of the meaning of it all. Beautiful, Sue.

Meri's comment seems visionary judging by what happened a day after it was placed here.

All of a sudden our own individual introspections don't seem so pertinent any longer....

Haiku my Heart #42 - Shine on

t'was just a sparkle peeping through the blacks and grey it filled my whole eye .... My daughter's car stands motionless on our drive, she is in hospital with severe stress symptoms. It has been a dark week, yesterday I noticed a sparkle reflecting off of her car through my window. She's been rattling up and down the motorway for the last year everyday to the job she loves and is fighting hard to keep. The car had so many rattles, now fixed by my love, it's washed, polished and resting-up waiting for her return. For more haiku poetry Visit Recuerda mi Corazon

What to Do?

Jamie Ridler asks in Wishcasting Wednesday - How would you like to spend some time? Good question for me at this time of year as I usually embark on some course or other for the winter months ahead, and as usual I'm not sure?  I go through  familiar questions, what do I really love and would like to spend time pursuing?  I've got qualifications in Fine Art and my heart is in photography, graphics, printmaking etc. But I'm torn because I'm also interested in Personal Development and have a yearning to share what I've learned so far with others in some way, especially on-line?  So what do I do? How do  I spend some time doing what I want to do, don't know, not sure but one thing I do know is that I need to spend more time puzzling it out? Or will it just come to me?  Do I spend more time meditating upon these ideas??? For other wishcaster wishes visit Jamie Ridler Studios
