Shadows Dance in The Sunlight

Taken on our now, not so recent, trip to Ithaca.  It was really the perfect day for family and a little walk in the woods.  I wish that I could have taken a video of this scence, because it seemed as if the shadows danced in the sunlight and the leaves created a kaleidoscope of color.

My favorite time of the year....

The Forest

Help me to see the forest through the trees

to set a place for myself

at the table of life

where I can eat with robust apetite

and feel nourished in my soul

Help me to see my clear path

and my true livelihood

where I can make those around me

feel as if their hard work

is not in vain

Help me to have a clear voice

to speak my truth

even if it is just yet a whisper

so that I can bring forth my intentions

with clarity and conviction

Help me to have a focused mind

uncluttered with fear and doubt

to release the albatross

that has clung so tightly

to my back

Help me to see my forest

with all it's technicolored leaves

with it's gnarled branches

and soggy marshes

uprooted havens

for all those who choose to live there

including me

Driven by a spurt of inspiration and creativity on my "day off".  I was supposed to be cleaning the house...instead, I created these lovely baubles. 

I think I need a maid.

A Much Needed Rest

My friends, I  have needed rest.  With a spiltting headache and dizzy gait, I laid my head down to ease the turmoil that has been created by all that surrounds me.  It worries me, these spells of disjointed chaos reaked upon my physical self.  Maybe it is one more sign to make a choice that will serve my higher good...and not those of others.  I have been burning the proverbial candle at both ands, and the middle as well.  I will need help to extinguish all but one of these flames.  I fear that my life, my sanity and my purpose depends upon it.

Let me shine one light for the word to see. 

Brighter than any flame that has gone before this. 

One light to show my soul. 

One passion to create beauty for all to see.

Gilded Harvest

If I were a pumpkin, I would be one of these

Gilded and with a subtle sparkle

Shimmering and changing color

in the moonlight

My color would be irridescent orange

not the hot neon that you normally see

The color of nectar

or a glowing sunrise

with swirling tones of pink, blue and purple

Yes, If I were a pumpkin

I would be one of these

These pictures were taken at Disney World on our trip this past summer.  When I saw them, my heart spoke of home reminding me of the days that I used to be less Cinder and more Ella.

Contracts

So I told my story

and I raised their hearts

without knowing

of the spirit moving through me

I spoke candidly

without fear

or contention

letting my experinces

guide me

to let them know

my Truth

I have long thought

that I would be able

to Inspire those around me

with words from heaven

passed through me

by the power of the spirit

it is my callling

one that I now see

that I must start to

fulfill

this is my contract

that has been sealed

in the heavens

where my soul danced

with God
