Welcome 2012 ~

imagine living life
by making choices that enliven

how we move our bodies and thoughts
how we listen and speak
how we care and share
honoring the essence of our depths

imagine choosing that which energizes
from this moment on
~

wishing one and all vitality
of heart
mind
and body

welcome 2012!

The Novica Winner is......

evidence

of divinity

found in each breath

the breath within our chest

the breath

of winters magnificence

evidence of divinity

as the sun lights icy crystals

colors dance 

and fairies prance

kin to the living spark

light that dances within our hearts

Grave Creek House

once upon a time

this wee house was built

looking into these walls

I wonder why it tilts

the stories it holds

may never be told

but we can dream and wonder

the sun came out 

and it seems Autumn is still amongst us

I love this vital time when two seasons dance

snow one day

hinting of winter

sun the next reclaiming autumn

reminding me that nature has it's own way

and we must learn to dance with what is

while wandering yesterday

we came across one of the more humorous 'No Trespassing' signs I have seen:
