Postcards from Paradise #7 Did I Ever Learn?

My boat's been bobbing about
on the bay of melancholy all day,
my view of paradise is blurred
and seems so faraway,
I must wait upon the tide
having faith that all things will turn,
a lesson
 more than well rehearsed,
but really,
 did I ever learn?

 Postcards from Paradise
waiting

Recuerda mi Corazon

So true! While bobbing about we always seem to forget that safe shores are nearby.

oh sue....
please do not forget the months of preparation to create a wedding! all your efforts, love and hopes have come to fruition. all the guests, all the filling up..and the letting go!
and now the ebb of life as the pendulum swings slowly back on you.
i want you to know that i am placing you in the center of my heart. that i am touched with your honesty, candor and beauty.
only a handful of weeks ago i was struggling with anguish and deep sorrow. you saw me with a mothering heart and reached out to me personally. now i am here listening, caring and ready to comfort you.

our love is immense, not even an ocean can stand between us.

these words ring true for me as well... may you find safe harbor and light for your spirit, in due time...
Dearest Sue,
Your images are beautiful. They are filled with water, a symbol of the unconscious, of dreams and of life itself. Whatever is troubling you, I am holding you in the light and praying that the Compassionate One continues to guide you in your expanding awareness that you are worthy of receiving from the endless flow of blessings that are all around you.

I found this Metta Prayer online. Sometimes when things are very hard, I says this while meditating for others and for myself as well. It is a Loving Kindness Meditation:


he Metta Prayer

May all beings be happy, content and fulfilled.

May all beings be healed and whole.

May all have whatever they want and need.

May all be protected from harm, and free from fear.

May all beings enjoy inner peace and ease.

May all be awakened, liberated and free.

May there be peace in this world, and throughout the entire universe.

(I Repeat it and substitute "I")

May I be happy, content and fulfilled.
May I be healed and whole.
May I have whatever I want and need.
May I be protected from harm and free from fear.
May I enjoy inner peace and ease.
May I be awakened, liberated and free.

Blessings and Light

Yes, these words are so true - I do know what you mean. I hope you'll find the way out of that bay soon.

Foxy?
Still in the land of Melancholy?
Bobbing up and down on the ocean of Life?
If only I'd known: I would have got my kayak out and bobbled alongside.
Actually, much better to go for a walk.
Feel so chuffed that you can still do that.
I'm envious. I just hobble or at best amble these past few months. My 8 to 17 miles a day have gone. For good I feel as I can see little improvement.
Ever decreasing circles.
Making do and mend.
I bet that cheered you up no end :-)

How did you manage to get that wonderful lemony glow in those silhouette pictures?

Continuum

A Continuum ~> continual sequence of ~> elemental change ~> By far this is the most difficult post written by myself, ever. I have not visited this place for sometime... I have been 'lying low' as an old friend used to put it, not low through depression or anything like that but since my love passed away parts of my known world have passed too. I have difficulty recognizing the landscape around me, I'm lying low so that I can absorb some of the new terrain. I am still quite dizzy, it's going to take some time... Much of what I wrote about here in this space would involve a brief glimpse of 'my love' and our life together. I had thought of closing 'Finding my Bliss', for a pivotal part of everything this blog has stood for seemed on the surface of things to be missing! But as the days have come and gone I am beginning to look at things in a different light and although I am grieving for my love I find I am l feeling his prese

Don't Blink

What rate ticketh clock? I blinked and a whole year passed or, was I dreaming? Somehow I seemed to have lost a whole year, it appears what I thought happened last year happened the year before! My sister who is twelve years my senior warned me about this ~ "wait until you get to my age then time really does fly"! Of course we'll never be able to confer! Still, living in the moment can feel like forever, because it is, I'm trying to make each beautiful moment count! Sharing with Haiku my Heart Recuerda mi Corazon
