One Solitary Magical Moment

 

Shush, don’t move a muscle! I am seeing signs of life.  I hold my breath and watch the movement from the side of my eye so knowing if I move my head it will end.  It is as if living things have a sixth sense when they are being watched and then they react, as soon as they detect it.

I want to see where this moment ends.  The beauty is shown clearly on this living being of God’s masterful hand of artistry.  Ah, it will fly in to and out of who knows how many lives and time zones. It will pass the eye sights of perhaps only a few or maybe thousands more.  But the one thing that stands true always and every day is it will cause more people to stop for a just moment to simply look, take it in and admire beauty of life. 

A butterfly is flipping in wings on the breeze of a new day.  Ah, all is well with the world in this single solitary moment in time.

My Imperfect Friend

  I gaze into your eyes. Your depth is from a lifetime of experiences.   You are truly a jigsaw puzzle that fits imperfectly making you perfectly unique. You forget God makes no mistakes. You see scars but miss the beauty marks others see. If only you see yourself through others eyes!   Right in this moment, I am tuned into you, a woman full of mountain climbs that shaped her.   It feels like more than one person could possibly contain.   And yet, there you are, sometimes unaware of your true reflection.   I shut off the light and turn away from the mirror.

The Long Good-Bye for Nancy

Image
Me, Nancy and Rody   I made a beautiful friend last year at a Cancer Camp I went to. When she walked into the Cabin she was assigned to, the same one as me, she looked quite tentative.   We spoke and I assured her she was not on her own that weekend.   And, what followed was a blast of a weekend, so much fun, laughter and sharing.     Nancy returned six months later for the Fall Camp Bluebird which gave us more time to chill and expand our memories, myself and all those others who came to know Nancy. A friendship was formed that enriched my life and hopefully hers. Nancy was many things, a wife, a mom, a grandma and a TWIN! Nancy was a beautiful artist; her paintings are treasures.   She also created handmade dolls and her rock painting was supreme! Such detail and creativity on everything she created.   The stream texts between her and another mutual friend were uplifting and also supportive in nature no matter what any of us was going through.

Drum Beats

  I see children playing carefree, Making pictures with crayons, I see smiling teachers standing nearby. Show they are truly the kids’ fans.  The little ones songs of glee, Fill the air with joy, As some dance in circles, Haphazardly around toys.  Laughing and holding hands, With not a care in the world, Thinking life is innocent, As their vision is swirled. Out of the day full of lightness Where worries are few Not a cloud in the sky, And in an instant, the mood turns blue. It sounded a lot like a drum, That had more of a pop, The teachers looked alarmed As suddenly students started to drop. A puddle of red,  Was forming underneath a head, The screaming was intense, As children have a sixth sense. They seemed to know danger was near, They all cowered around each other in fear. Not knowing where to go,  They pleaded with the adults in the room, And locking eyes with them, The sounds continued to boom. It was like the classroom was evolving into a human tomb. ...
