In worn out shoes

With silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants

The old soft shoe~

Kabbalah - Lessons From Nature

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Bnei_Baruch]Bnei Baruch

As human beings, we are naturally drawn to nature. A beautiful vista evokes in us a sense of wonder and awe. Earth's splendor captivates us; its oceans, mountains, deserts, plains and forests bring a fresh understanding of how the world is interconnected. Its beauty provokes us to transcend our mundane concerns, shortcomings and…

Blackberry Picking & Hay Making - Hot Jobs

Again my living in the country got in the way of being able to work at the computer last week. Not that I'm complaining. I love being an author, (these experiences help me write my Amish books) and a country gal. I'm the one who set out blackberry vines twenty years ago. I dug the starter plants out of my parents ditch. One more plant at my house that has a family attachment. It took a few years for the plants to get established and attached to the barb wire fence back of the garden. Now the… Continue

the Garden of Even . . .

the Garden of Even

there once was a Village

that had a Garden

where nothing but Love ever grew

the Fruits were Divine

what was mine was thine

this was what everyone knew

and then came a thought

which some sadly bought

that i was different from you

and to all of dismay

came forth the day

when this paradigm then became true

the children were… Continue

sitting by the Road . . .

sitting by the Road

i sit here by the side of the Road

watching all the “Passer-bys”

i contemplate their destinations

and all their reasons “why”

we appear to be ‘migratory souls’

all seeking for some place to arrive

looking for a temporary belonging

some walk, some dream, some drive

some seem pressed and anxious

their lives stuck in a ‘rush mode’

me, i am just… Continue

tommy

can tommy come out to play

can tommy come out today

that we can recreate

before we procreate

let beauty be our way

can mary please come out

with out her fears and doubt

let all girls and boys

embrace their joys

let our beauty come about

can johnny come play with me

in the gardens of the free

where we believe

in what’s conceived

will come… Continue

my Box

my box

why should i define myself

why should i live in a box

to deliberately exist within a room

where i have welded the locks

no, i like a life without walls

where i can truly live free

where i can indulge the possibilities

and be all that i can be

the finality of my reality

is i can speak life as i choose

you may object, but i say what the heck

what have i… Continue

be all you can "BE"

“BE” all you can Be

i am consciously inhibited

by my own design

i realize my limitations

are all within my mind

i care not for fetters

or the fences about

so i challenge all doctrines

and my fears found in doubt

but i do somehow realize

what’s dark does hold treasures

what once was a taboo

has transmuted to pleasures

but that is not to… Continue

awaken oh Sentinel . . .

awaken oh Sentinel

awaken oh Sentinel

guardian of the living dream

be the “Way Keeper” for which you were created.

be silent no more

unsheathe thy mighty and sharp Sabre

of truth in “Be”-ing.

core me of thy dark seed

that my light may dance forth

in joy

awaken oh Sentinel

the gate keeper of bliss.

i come by way of dust

that i may be whole again,

as i seek… Continue

those simple times . . .

those simple times . . .

they were simple times

in simple days

with simple people

and simple ways

no complications

between me and thee

we talked things over

or we’d imply be

brothers were brothers

and friends were friends

when strife arose

we made amends

i wonder what happened

to those simple times

when nickels had meaning

listen . . .

listen . . .

i was listening to the Silence

and it’s thunder in my ears

i saw my desire’s reflection

in a pool of my tears

i try to live in moments

and they add up to years

and each step within the journey

there are potential fears

but one thing i have learned

not one of us are alone

i feel this in my knowing

in the marrow of my bone

i hear Creation’s… Continue

my beloved

my Beloved

oh where, oh where is my beloved

where has he gone?

my heart weeps in anguish for His presence

my thoughts leaps in anticipation of His arrival

oh where, oh where is my beloved

Deep within the core of my being

there is a place,

a small dark room

in the inner recesses of my heart.
