Flat Bunnies...
Sometimes it's all a matter of perspective.
Slanted lines.
Tilted angles.
A perception of depth.
We react to it...
and then we think about it.
Other times...
..... it's just a case of flat bunnies.

Dark Corners...
That quiet place where dreams touch reality,
and shadows shift when you're not looking...
Fears live there, but so do fantasies...
Let imagination illuminate, but do not drive off the darkness...
It can be a creative muse and a comforting friend.

Along the Edge Cracked...
reaching for light and dark
tiptoe along the traveling edge
jagged with fears and joys
growing up, leaning out
switching sides
making life a memory
making life a dream
making it work
knowing light and dark
a jagged view
cracked
along the edge
it feels right

Quiet nights....
fight with my mind.... keeping sleep from coming...
.......................................pulling ideas from groggy spaces...
Ideas of disquiet....
.......................... Ideas of vibrancy and light...
Sleep comes....
..........................................and they are forgotten...
In the quiet of night....

Boy and Tree...
Feeling the crunch of time
the energy needed to reach the sky,
Dreams of childlike wonder
battle with adult life chains.
Nothing is so sweet
as that first pull of sunlight,
Spring growth, youth unfurling
Thoughts of Autumn unknown,
Reaching forward
face full of warm sunbeams,
the shadows are left far behind
forgotten...
but always there.

What does April snow taste like...?
Well.... strangely... a lot like frozen water...
My son and I ran out just before sunset on April 22, 2013... to taste a bit of Earth Day snow.... REALLY!

April snow... again...
This is our family Christmas tree... covered with a bit of April snow... with more snow on the way.... I think I took the lights off too soon...!
.... Ho! Ho! Ho!

New sentient life form discovered!
And it was there... right below our feet this whole time!
Despite evidence of being trod on unnoticed for who knows how long, this happy-go-lucky life form seems to have kept it's sense of humor. Once released from the confines of stinky socks and claustrophobic foot wear, the resilient creatures were quick to show their pleasure at finally meeting face to face. Though currently unable to communicate with words, a dialog consisting of expressions of happy smiles and toe tapping has enabled scientists to determine that this new species is both friendly and cute. Further study is needed to determine what this means for the future of footwear.

Cat Watching...
Are we watching a cat?
Or... are we watching a cat watch?
Whenever we are not watching... they are certainly watching us!
Whiskers and all.....
HAPPY +CATURDAY! Everyone! Missing all my feline friendly friends.... +Christophe Friedli +Khrystiane Friedli +Lee Daniels +Shantha Marie Fountain and +Jules Falk Hunter... sorry I haven't been around as much as I would like. The winds of life are blowing fast and furious here... but I am ok... just overwhelmed. Wishing you all the very best Easter and Spring joy!

Structures of a Wing...
How we learn to fly.
Life is made in layers...
Cell upon cell, moment upon moment...
Tiny pieces that fit together...
Changing as more are added... and some are lost...
A structure forms... and we cling to it.
If the structure is strong enough...
if it is built just right...
it supports us... we can be brave...
..... and we learn to fly.

Light and life....
Light and life whirls by
a pace of time and breath I can barely catch
I wonder at my own audacity to even try
the math of a moment
the art of a single flash
I am never the same, ever changing
time molds me even as it denies my existence
I am as I ever was... a blink of an eye
a speck on a speck in the universe
and yet....
it would not be the same with out me
I am.....
a part of its never ending flow....
part of what whirls by.

Finally... a little light.
Let it shine...
It feels fine...
All the colors...
Your's and mine...
Combine...
Finally... a little light.

Ever notice that things are not quite what you think?
The world is full of surprises. Enjoy the treasures that come your way, especially the ones that come in strange packages.
The novel I am writing continues to haunt my dreams. And everyday I don't have time to set down the words... is an agony. My head is like these jello eggs. Until I manage to crack the shell of time, the colorful treasure inside can only be glimpsed by holding me up to the light....

Verdi on the green...
if you could capture a thought, hold it in your hand like a sunbeam, if you could feel a laugh, seal it away and save it for a rainy day, if you could purr like a cat, make the world believe it's all a mystery...

Shhhhhhhhhhh....
Not even a quiet whisper...
Not even a silent look passed in a darkened room...
No motion disturbs...
No breath sighs...
It is all a grey blur of a slowly beating heart...
Hidden is shadows of a dark mood...
Solace ignored...
Charity repulsed...
The self wounds the self...
Salvation comes not from without...
With in... forever continuing...
forever treading dark water...
Still thick water...
Swim on soul...
Swim on...
The goal is not to reach the other side...
But just to continue to be...

Moon Slice...
With the rough bark at my back...
My hands tightly wound about tendrils of gravity...
My eyes lift to the sky...
Stretching... yearning... leaning into the night...
A slice of moon cuts me from my binding...
lifting me into the azure sky...
Dreams left behind as casual thoughts...
Through the midnight air, I fly...
Caught in currents of color and space...
Warped and twisted I leave the Earth...
And bloom as a spirit released....
--------------------------------------------------------------
Happy +Tree Tuesday... my best to the wonderful +Christina Lawrie & +Shannon S. Myers.... :)

A Cold Midnight "Aloha!"...
Missing the warm sands...
Without a breeze whispering through palm trees...
Toes dipped in a frozen Minnesota tide...
The sun has gone to sleep...
Aloha anyway my friends...
Love thaws even frozen feet...

Whisker Illumination...
A gale force wind is screaming down from the North. Ice is laying patterns on the window panes. A brief moment of warmth as the sunlight breaks through the racing clouds, only a cat could find the sweet spot of Summer memories sneaking through the window. Minutes later, darkness returns and sub-zero highs begin creeping under the door sill. With feet tucked under, furry contentment makes the cold of Winter bearable.

Happy +CATURDAY! to all my lovely friends!

Silver Linings...
Spun and twisted
darkness enlisted
lightness of being
enabled unseeing
never simple
ever changing
silver linings
hidden meaning
twisted spun
endings begun

Waiting...
The Garden is frozen, trapped in slumber underneath a cap of icy snow. The birds have stripped the seeds from the asters and sunflowers. Rabbits have visited the frozen kale and broccoli, leaving footprints and fertilizer for Spring. Winter's song whistles through the bare branches of the cherry tree and plays percussion in the dried milkweed stalks. January is a time of waiting, deep hibernation and endurance...

Worlds Spin...
Worlds spin round and round...
Like clouds drifting...
I watch them from the ground...
Nothing solid beneath my feet...
Changing winds dance...
With all the dreams I meet...
Whispered secrets screaming by...
A mindful silence gone...
I reach out and touch the air...
Knowing nothing...
... and everything there...

Happy Holidays!
Santa has arrived!
Stockings are upended...
Flying shards of wrapping paper and ribbon...
Confetti of joyfulness...
Glitter of playfulness...
Crumbled balls of paper dance as the cat's play...
The smell of peppermint and pine...
Cinnamon and chocolate...
Giggles hiding under an oversized Santa hat...
The reindeer are gone...
Mrs. Claus has sent her sweety to bed...
Mama in her jammies with her feet tucked up...
Watches from her comfy spot on the couch...
Papa makes French toast and breakfast treats...
The children barely manage to keep to their seats...
A stuffed Teddy bear...
A book of science...
A guitar...
A drum...
A box full of paints...
Projects for the new year all patiently wait...
A merry Christmas...
A happy holiday...
A family together enjoying... more »

One Petal Away...
One petal away tapped silent foot steps
"Come into my den..." said the lion to the ant
Golden main flying in the breezy breath of mother Earth
the King bowed down to the flame of sunlight
carried in on the back of the lowly ant
"Blessings of warmth and hope..." breathed a whispery voice
Feet shifted and eyes followed
the line etched in the Autumn sky
a red leaf drifting by....
Clouds of words scrawled across the sky
Souls with messages that make us cry
"A kiss..." said the sun light
upon a petal lips did lie
the magic of a promise
and a flower opened wide......
"Come inside...."

Musicians...
the confused crowd plays
lost to the melody
harmony sacrificed
on an alter of cubist design
voices of mind mingle mix
conflicting dreams fixed
I see all sides
and I am turned inside

Waterdrops in Purple...
transformational rain
creates visual poetry
lavender dreams repeated
reflections of worlds unseen
softly spoken silent words
tasting droplets on my tongue
hearing music with my eyes
storms forgiven.. and forgotten

Map of Green...
a roadway illuminated by life
highways branch off and divide again and again
until country roads become gravel
and paths disappear beneath tall grass
a map of green
forever redirecting
getting lost
so all can be found
again and again

Rose of Remembrance...
At the end of a hard day
a moment of warm evening light
pierces the pain and loss
A glow of imperfect glory
gives the mind a labyrinth
on which to travel
Layers of contemplation
Shades of commemoration
Thorns of honor hidden
in the soft folds of commiseration
A bloom can not hold the grief
it unfolds and bears its heart
and gives healing a fragrant fragile start

Tangled...
Life can be a tangle mess...
Twists and turns full of angst and despair...
... pain and failure.
All intertwined with joy and love...
... laughter and peace.
We can not always control which way life will turn.
What we can control is how we view the chaos.
Some choose to give control to others...
To not have to look and accept that actions have reactions.
... and sometimes “stuff” just happens.
There doesn’t have to be a “reason”...
There doesn’t have to be some overall “plan”...
... It’s just a tangles mess...
a frustrating, complicated, beautiful, glorious tangled mess.
... and I for one am glad to be a part of it...
