Wedding in Tuscany

This little patio held my youngest daughter and my new son as they married.
















This little patio was set amoungst nature that fed my heart and soul and strengthened my faith.

Breathing and drinking in the grace from these hills echoed the love we have for each other.

Memories of the weddings of my eldest daughter and new son and eldest son and new daughter filtered through the early afternoon mist. Settling amoungst the activities as they were lived they wove a vivid new tapestry of my growing family.

Each new addition to our family changes the landscape and so enriches our lives and the lives of all who touches us 

surface breaks

... as the hearts swells with Love there is an accompanying pulling of it's fiber - a drawing that threatens a breech - but welcome it none-the-less for it is only the surface that breaks leaving it's womb intact to receive and give Love ...

new stairs

these stairs have not been tested
they wait for hearts to open
to
to bear the weight of their needs

what my dream said today 7-6-09

today i saw myself holding me prisoner
both parts are very nice about it
but prisoner none-the-less

tonight i will be released from the prison
both parts will be very nice about it
but free none-the-less

early morning hours

silence speaks loudest
in the early morning hours

the heart hears great things
in the early morning hours

the mind rises to great heights
in the early morning hours

rise before the sun sheds its life
in the early morning hours

tell me please

i want to make ahome i want to be a home i want to live with someone i want to be loved i dont want to work outside but i must i have something that must be said i have something for others to hear so will hear some wont no need to say - what i believe is truth - all else is false - need to be sure it is truth - need to know - tell me please –

vague memory

every once in a while i wonder
where the love went
the love i thought i had - left
it disappeared - gone

like a whisp of hot water leaves
the pot and is - gone
in the cool of the air surrounding
the pot - i wonder if

it was true - of course it was
of course - but doubt - its gone
toady no hint is left - only
the vague memory of the warmth
