Gratitude And Ponderings
1- the gentle lap- pause- lap
of teeny tiny waves upon the shore
2- the slate gray blue
green blue
black blue out near the horizon
3- the chill cool enough
to put a sweater on
and be thankful i have
the protection
of the walls to keep
the north wind at bay
4- birds sing songs
gulls squawk their screeches
as they swoop













5- i wonder why the little sandpipers
on the shore
always remind me
of my neice
Lindsey Elizabeth
they walk with dainty, darting steps














6-steve says:
as the sun slides up the slope
of the eastern sky
the prism of water

turns turquoise
















7- i stand here at the water's edge
the water is crystal clear
















pale green dancing mosaics
remind me that we are
in part, affected by
the waves of energy
that surround us
be they gentle or stormy























8- each dancing patch of water
is connected to the whole
of the gulf's water
as if we each are a patch
sewn lovingly by our Great Gandmother
into the quilt of life























9- there are no state or country lines
dividing us
the fabric of the continents
is simply different
from the fabrics Great Grandmother
chooses for the fabrics
to symbolize the waters
of the world

10- we think

our patch

with its memories

of this life

is unique

and it is

11- but it is connected

sewn stitch by stitch

connecting us

to our place

and to each other

in the cosmic ocean of love

12- from Stella's card #20 Judgement

preparing to drum in the spirits

that they might bless me

the drumming is the rhythm

with the heartbeat

of Mother Earth

and will call forth

the Spirits from within

-lay myself open

to the glaring scrutiny

of the Grandfather

and pass the test

of being pure on the inside

-as a warrior

i lay aside

the desires of the flesh

to obtain

the blessings

of the spirits

-Breaking away from

conventional patterns of thought

-moving ahead

-Breaking away from old ties

-Directing energies

in a more positive direction

Gratitude and Ponderings

1- I awake to the

of the unicorn

telling the swan

yet another story

2- I swoon and surrender

to the tender

fiery passion

of intense love

consuming me

3- burning me up

until the drosses

of my personality

and ego

fall away like feathers

4- and i am the flame

of a candle's light

burning bright

5- this day is made

for a journey

i feel the winds

of Grand Adventures

licking at my soul

6- [from Stella's tarot]

Seven of Thunderbirds

The Spirit of Harmony

dances when two elders

sit in council.

The elders call forth

the spirits to guide them

(in any decisions

that need to be made

affecting the tribe

as a whole.)

Now is a time

to conserve energy

so I will be ready

when things

start to happen.
















7- We stopped in Pensacola

and ate at one of our favorite restaurants

Tre Fratelli Restorante


across from Seville Square.

Then walked around the corner

to visit the Mole Hole


(a gift shop.)

















8- We found luxury accomodations

at Henderson Park Inn

2700 Scenic Hwy 98

9. We visited our artist friend

Don Sawyer @ Harborwalk

http://members.cox.net/dcsawyer/index.htm

and bought one of his bright

island house paintings





















10. We watched the sun set.






















11. We saw the moon over

palm trees.

Greetings from Destin Fl

Steve and I are staying at Henderson Park Inn. The moonlight is
shining on the gulf water. We saw Don Sawyer and got a painting from
him and arranged for him to paint a picture of our Fish River abode. I
want him to paint the gypsy wagon in it. I have been reading from
WHITE FIRE a book about women spiritual leaders in America. I'm going
to read a bit in DWELLER ON TWO PLANETS and nod on off to sleep. I
will put my jounal entry in tomorrow when we get home.
