My mom is coming to the end of

a long journey...praying her new journey

will happen peacefully and soon...I love you mom..

Each of us inevitable,
Each of us limitless --
Each of us with his or her
right upon the earth,
Each of us allow'd
the eternal purports

of the earth,
Each of us here
as divinely as any is here.

~ Walt Whitman ~

(Leaves of Grass)

~~~Velvet Shoes~~~

Let us walk in the white snow 
In a soundless space; 
With footsteps quiet and slow, 
At a tranquil pace, 
Under veils of white lace.

I shall go shod in silk, 
And you in wool, 
White as white cow's milk, 
More beautiful 
Than the breast of a gull.

We shall walk through the still town 
In a windless peace; 
We shall step upon white down, 
Upon silver fleece, 
Upon softer than these.

We shall walk in velvet shoes: 
Wherever we go 
Silence will fall like dews 
On white silence below. 
We shall walk in the snow.

Elinor Wylie~poet

~~A circle of light for everyone~~

What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past,courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace."

 -Agnes M. Pahro

You and I will meet again when we're least expecting it...One day in some far off place I will recognize your face (and remember your voice)...Tom Petty

Waves are not measured in feet and inches, but in increments of fear."                                                         Big Wave Surfer Buzzy Trent                  
Though inland far we be,
Our souls have sight of that immortal sea
Which brought us hither.

"There is something in October sets the gypsy blood astir, we must rise and follow her; when from every hill of flame, she calls and calls each vagabond by name."
