I Wonder

Through Gates of Splendor!

~ I Wonder ~

I wonder.  If that deepest core within us

that invisible spark which makes us 

each uniquely who we are

that spirit, intangible, yet oh so real

I wonder. When our bodies die,

does that ethereal essence 

turn to dust as well? Or 

does it in the twinkling of an eye

return home to Godde, slip through

the placenta back into the womb of eternity

there to develop and be prepared to be

born yet again. To serve anew

I wonder where John’s spirit is 

what purpose it’s now given

what joy he’s found and giving

I can’t imagine he is idle - even in eternity!

One day I’ll know. Meanwhile

I Wonder

On our travels, John loved to point out and photograph beautiful design. This gate is somewhere in Charleston.

Dear Friends,

This blog is my letter to the world whose music speaks to me in potent words of color, breeze and shade...

~ Welcome to my BITS and PIECES ~

This blog is my letter to the world

whose music speaks to me in potent

words of color, breeze and shade, through 

books whose notions seed themselves in

nooks and crannies of my mind only

to float around there until one day

I fish a bit, reel in to lay all out

so as to look at them again, try to

clarify, grasp the meaning of those
little tidbits niggling at my brain -

 this blog brings order to the verbal

chaos wafting through my world 

MY LIFE

That Moment...

~~ ABSENCE ~~

That moment after months of trying to adjust to widowhood, 

when your first real crisis hits resurfacing your grief with

 an acute stab as you realize anew s/he is not

here to share the burden, the fear of this

fresh wound

When new loss reminds you how alone you are without
the presence of your soulmate’s love, voice

companionship and familiar touch

Dedicated to all who have lost a spouse and to the friends who patiently listen, seek to understand and help each one of us move on.

Learning From Loss

~Learning From Loss~

Loss launched an education on my life.

Your closed eyes began a stark opening of mine

to things I could not see when life was full with you.

Pondering lost sight of you brought insight to my soul.

While you look now from the realm of Godde

I too see from another view with

deeper understanding

of life and of

Our Love
