My Photo
if i could use one word to describe my life SERENDIPITY seems to fit the space... i stumbled upon my husband during a time i shouldn't have and my story goes on from there... constantly falling or stumbling upon remarkable gifts and people who bring fortune to our lives... when we fall we learn and strive toward the next step.

Six Word Saturday~

http://www.showmyface.com/2010/07/six-word-saturday_31.html



~there's something you need to know~


there is a piece of me


that belongs to the beautiful sea


childhood memories of days gone by


a treasure that lies deep within


not only for myself are these


feelings...lie within my sister too


now with a love of the sea


comes something more...bits and pieces


sea glass cuts right through me


i have a weakness.addiction.obsession


hour upon hour i can spend


few others that i know could


they would go stir crazy...hunting


but there is one who can


she shares the same passion.desire


maybe because we were raised together


the blood flowing through our veins


is the same.connecting.uniting.us


maybe because we shared experiences together


funny as when we were young
there was no love between us
battling.bickering.arguing as sisters can
yet as time has passed by

~what a wonderful relationship we have~

it's been awhile time spent together
yesterday we drove to the beach
wee little ones all in tow
us on a mission...treasures waiting
these pictures above are from yesterday
hard. work. memories. time. shared. family.

~sharing a little piece of me~

mondays child...5~

Jessie Wilcox Smith 1863-1935


she dreams of the sea

the moments when she can run free
chasing the tide
counting the waves

she dreams of the sea

the beach
where there is endless grains of sand
shells that sings songs of time

she dreams of the sea

the salty air
the misty haze

she dreams of the sea

enchanted ones
whom only she sees
sirens that speak
for only her ears

she dreams of the sea

a cool breeze the carries her in its arms
swirling around and around

she dreams of the sea

the bits of rocks
the shards of glass
tumbled so softly
glistening in the sun
treasures from days gone by

she dreams of the sea

oh mama...when will it be

it all comes to an end~

"he is rich
who is
CONTENT
with the least;
for
CONTENTMENT
is the
Wealth of Nature"
socrates


i know... i know
more pictures of camping
{as i said before...i returned home with over 600 hundred photos}
please do bear with me
if i am driving you all crazy
its just i can't quite help myself
when out in the woods
i am beyond inspired
by the gifts of nature


sunday morning i woke
to darkness lingering


after i put the kettle on
i walked down by the river


pulled up my chair
and
looked up into the hills
to see
 glitter sprinkled throughout the trees


be still
my beating heart


they glistened
they glowed


even the river
twinkled
just so


a magical moment


was truly arising


in all my days
i have yet to see


something
quite like thee



as my minutes
turned into hours


and daylight was upon me


i was inspired to write
{i think per the course i joined... let fly}


my silence

was
blissful
peace


our little friend
had not forgotten
to drop bye
and say hello


and
 as if life hadn't been good enough

one mama dear
walking her wee little three


Deer Symbolism

 When we encounter the deer in the wild
 our
 breath catches 
 we are
transfixed by their graceful features
 and
delicate movements.
The tender beauty of these beasts
 has not gone unnoticed by our ancestors.

The deer is linked to
 the arts, specifically poetry and music
 in ancient Celtic animal lore due to its graceful form.
 The Celts also believed that
 deer were associated with the fairie realm

symbolism of the deer

Love.Grace.Peace.Beauty.Fertility.Humility.Swiftness
Regrowth.Creativity.Spirituality.Abundance.Benevolence.Watchfulness

 
silence is golden
and last only so long
 
 
to be so young
to gather such thoughts
a beautiful gift indeed
 
 
time to get in the water
as the sun was now high above
 
 
this gorgeous one
felt the need for water as well
 
 
and then
a rare glimpse
was taken of me
 
 
please oh please
can we take this one home
if you can get it to the truck...its all yours
ain't no mountain high
ain't no river low
nor no heart to heavy

 
so as we crossed the bridge
to head back home
all hearts were in tow


one last glance at the lake


absorbing the sights


along the way


being thankful for all
 and
the mountain that welcomes us home

is the effect by which
one accidentally stumbles upon something fortunate,
especially while looking for something entirely unrelated...
