« Do not spoil what you have
by desiring what you have not »
~Epicurus
Realizing that all Peoples have a commonality: we share this earth.
Discovering more of the
Goddess )O(
and my own feminine strength and potential.
Recognizing the traces of the Magick which surrounds us.
Within me Revelations ignite
A vast spectrum of such delight
I wish to share it, if I might
By the words I am blessed to write
For in every Soul a light blazes bright
Behold your Spirit with Renewed Sight
Thresholds unfurl,
Sparks take flight
Illuminating Peace and Knowledge
in Moonless Night
~Daydreamer )O(
Goddess make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow your love.
Where there is injury, let me bring the concept of self-forgiveness.
Where there is blame, let me bring the insights of self-responsibility.
And where there is darkness, let me bring the knowledge of eternal light.
« What is that you express in your eyes?
It seems to me more than all the words I have read in my life. »
~Walt Whitman
My sweet daughter wrote this poem as her Mother's Day Gift
Chère maman,
Quand j'étais bébé,
Tu m'as bercée.
J'étais ton bébé,
Tu m'as aimée.
Tu es un trésor
Et je t'aime si fort...
Avec toi, j'aime regarder le coucher du soleil,
Tu me dis que c'est une merveille.
Tu fais des petits gestes
Pour me prouver ta gentillesse.
Ton coeur,
C'est une fleur.
Tu es extraordinaire,
Tout comme l'Univers.
Tu es une maman joyeuse,
Tu es si merveilleuse.
Des jours tu es heureuse
Des jours tu es triste
N'importe quoi, oublie le démon de tristesse
Est prépare toi à ton voler avec la fée
~My Little Daydreamer
Hold your head high.
Be who you are.
Climb on a cloud and
reach for a star.If while on your journey,
The expanse makes you swoon.
Sit, rest awhile

Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else.No one else
can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still
UNWRITTEN
REFLECTIONS...
.....Deep, warm kisses;
Tall, young man;
Black leather jacket;
Gray eyes;
Strong, broad shoulders;
Leaning against a tree;
In the moonlight;
Falling In Love;
In Love still .....XOX
.....Laughter;
A child's eyes shining and deep ocean blue;
Late summer afternoon;
Walking along the beach;
In search of the elusive sand dollar;
Sunshine warming our shoulders;
Once cold waves, now tempid on our feet;
Soft sand between our toes;
Smiles;
A living sand dollar!
A child's face reflecting the wonder and mystery of nature;
Small, protective hands cradle an intricate symbol of Faith;
The Holy Spirit Shell;
Doves of Peace.....
F RAGILE BEAUTY
Vanquish the oppressive Darkness…
…Reveal the Beauty which transcends
Mine is a fragile garden
The whole of Nature it does contain
All living creatures are my seedlings
I tend thru sunshine and thru rain
Mine is a fragile garden
But gardeners like me are not so rare
I am joined in a Global Sisterhood
By the Feminine Spirit everywhere
Mine is a fragile garden
My maternal hands toil not alone
To carefully mend every wounded stalk
The seeds of rejuvenation shall be sown
~Daydreamer )O(
Greeted by the Glory of the Morning
The Willow Weeps its reply
To every Bird Humming a joyful tune

CELTIC KNOT
" THE REPEATED CROSSINGS OF THE KNOT CAN REPRESENT THE WEAVING OF THE PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL PATHS AND THE ETERNAL CONTINUUM OF LIFE, LOVE AND FAITH.
THE TRINITY KNOT HAS VARIOUS INTERPRETATIONS.
IT COULD SYMBOLIZE THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT.
THE THREE CORNERS COULD REPRESENT THE MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT.
IT COULD ALSO DEPICT THE THREE INHERENT FEMININE POWERS: MAIDEN, MOTHER AND CRONE.
THE INTERPRETATION IS QUITE INDIVIDUAL."
Celtic Knots may symbolize the binding of a person’s soul to the earth, and the process of eternal spiritual growth : interlacing knots may represent the cosmic loom, symbolizing the existence of the spirit through time, and space, and lifetimes.
There was never, and will never be, a time when we did not or do not exist in some form.
Ho ro, mo nigh'n donn bhoidheach,
Hi ri, mo nigh'n donn bhoidhech

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of Fate is strenght undefeatable.
~Helen KellerGloom we have always with us,
A rank and sturdy weed,
But Joy requires tending.

She cannot fade,

THE
WHIMSICAL
GALLERY
Such is my Penance
This wooden path to the sea
A daily pilgrimage
Of broken destiny
His ancestors he followed
To claim what yields the deep
At mercy to the seasons
For what bounty he would reap
Locked in my memory
Eyes bright smiling green
The mischievous grin
A man of compassion esteemed
Hands calloused and swollen
Fingers refusing to bend
Victims of sodden nets
The relentless haul and descend
The rain fell in torrents
Wind, waves and worry did rise
Nature proved the fiercest competitor yet
The schooner doomed to lose and capsize
My mind's wretchedly haunted
By what his last thought had been
Did his heart hold me close
As his body screamed in the end
Weathered planks which guide my wander
Shall never support my return
Allow redeeming waters to cradle me
In the Peace I so yearn.....
~Daydreamer )O(
The heart feels what the eyes cannot see,
And knows what the mind cannot understand.....
~THE PEACEFUL PAGAN~...in a time lacking in Truth and Certainty and filled with Anguish and Despair, no Woman should be shamefaced in attempting to give back to the World, through her work ~ Craft ~ a portion of its lost heart.

Illusions are art, for the feeling person,
and it is by art that you live,

Gentle whispers of creature, rock and tree
Emancipated petals softly scent the ground

Release your imagination
Expand what is seen
The mind's vision alone
Interprets the artist's scheme
Intricate coloured butterflies
Twinkling sprites delight
Disguise a hidden tragedy
A deeper, mournful plight
What deed befell this woman-child
Her posture quite askew
The helplessness of the tiny ones
Who came to her rescue
I grasp in an instant the betrayal
Like the pixie, the faery, the worried sprite
Carried on a breeze of fantasy
She has fallen from her graceful flight
Her fading eyes plead for my attention
Hold an expression that I know
Cradled softly within lies my daughter's blue gaze
As was mine not so many years ago
Came swift and sudden the demise of the Tooth Faery
Gone the early-morning hunts for treasure
Youthful tears spill for a broken dream
I grieve the moments of such pleasure
Walk slowly down Life's Path my adored one
Hurry not to leave innocence behind
Cling tightly to your belief in the unseen
May it linger forever in your mind
Capture the childhood moments
Still to cherish
Let the magick of this age
Never perish
~Daydreamer )O(
when the day has all but ended
and our echo starts to fade
no you will not be alone then
and you will not be afraid.....now comes the night...feel it fading away
and the Soul underneath is all that remains
so just slide over here...leave your fear in the fray
let us hold to each other 'till the end of our days

If I were asked to name the chief benefit of the house, I should say:

~Gaston Bachelard
~Gerald's Tree~Georgia O'KeeffeThere is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged
To find the ways in which you yourself have altered.I cannot believe that the inscrutable universe turns on an axis of suffering; surely the strange beauty of the world must somewhere rest on pure joy. ~Louise Bogan
All you need is deep within you waiting to unfold and reveal itself.
All you have to do is be still
and take the time to seek for what is within,
and you will surely find it.

so cruel and so just,
that one must grow

Come with warm feelings of friendship.
Bring your intelligence,
Your energy and your Passion

Burn always in my Soul.
You are welcome here.

Let knowledge grow from more to more
But more of Reverence in us dwell;
That mind and soul,
according well,
May make one music as before.
~Alfred, Lord Tennyson
If, as Herod, we fill our lives with things, and again with things; if we consider ourselves so unimportant that we must fill every moment of our lives with action, when will we have the time to make the long, slow journey across the desert as did the Magi? Or sit and watch the stars as did the shepherds? Or brood over the coming of the child as did Mary?
For each one of us, there is a desert to travel.
A star to discover.
And a being within ourselves to bring to life.
†Though my soul is set in darkness
It will rise in perfect light.
I have loved the stars too fondly
To be fearful of the night.â€
Pain is inevitable:
Suffering is optional.
Greta Randolph
We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
~T.S. Eliot
My Sanctuary
Well secluded from.....
Indignity
Cruelty
Thirst
injustice
pain
violence
prejudice
hunger
suffering
Distance cannot lessen sorrow
I shall not linger in this Sanctuary
My flawed endeavour to diminish the regretable truths of Humankind
I shall seek to confront that which cannot be ignored
and discover a new Sanctuary in
HOPE
Cast me gently into morning
For the night has been unkind
Take me to a place so Holy
That I can wash this from my mind
The memory of choosing not to fight....

A whimsical castle where magick abides
Perched in a loch, it cleverly hides
Known to the dragon with emerald eyes
She dips and glides and masters the skies
A realm of fantasy; here dreams reside
And 'tis where the fanciful heart truly lies

You're beautiful, that's for sure.
You'll never ever fade.
You're lovely but it's not for sure
That I won't ever change.
And though my love is rare.
Though my love is true...
I'm like a bird.
I'll only fly away.
I don't know where my Soul is.
I don't know where my home is....

Fumbling Towards Ecstasy
all the fear has left me now,
i'm not frightened anymore.
it's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh.
it's my mouth that pushes out this breath
and if I shed a tear,
i wont't cage it.
i won't fear love.
companion to our demons
they will dance and we will play.
with chairs, candles and clothes
making darkness in the day.
it will be easy to look in or out
upstream or down
without a thought.
and if I feel a rage
i won't deny it.
i won't fear love.
peace in the struggle
to find peace.
comfort on the way to comfort
i won't fear love.Thank you Sarah. Your lyrics are hauntingly beautiful.
Four strong winds that blow lonely
Seven seas that run high
All those things that don't change
Come what may
If all the good times are all gone
Then I'm bound for movin' on
I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way.....

Pursue literary distraction
It evades in the end
Captivation illusive
No adventurous exploit to befriend
Invite the enchantment of music
May it relieve my despair
As the graceful notes rise
And cascade in the air
Escape with tormented footsteps
Turn my tantrum to the sun
Take cherished wooded pathways
Where many dreams have begun
Caress paper with pen
Release the language of my heart
Afflicted with poverty of vision
Inspiration eludes from the start
In conversation with myself
Would the truth I portray
Oh banish wretched demons
This desperate, lonely day
Then in answering myself
To appear touch by madness
Abandoned Wisdom fills these moments
Those tinged with sadness
~Daydreamer )O(
Here I sit
By your side
Your eyes pensive
Mine alive
I have no voice
My eyes speak more than see
Constrained by my gender
Muted by conformity
I yearn for adventure
I long to be free
Is there World enough for me......
~Daydreamer )O(
I feel the breeze which moves the grasses
The blossoms scent it well
I hear the cricket's song
Where he's hidden, I cannot tell
I watch the fluttering hummingbird wings
Their rhythm casts a spell
Blessings of Nature do abound
In the air and on the ground
And my gentle Soul is found
Within every placid sound
My senses bask in tranquility
The inexplicable flight of the bumble bee
These gifts create such Peace in me
The wonders of Nature's Symphony
~Daydreamer )O(
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who stand looking.And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.
Ooh, it makes me wonder........
~Led Zeppelin
There are two ways of spreading light; to be
The candle or the mirror that reflects it.
~Edith Wharton
And as the seasons come and go,
Here is something you would know
There are Faeries everywhere:
under bushes, in the air,
playing games just like you play,
singing through their busy day
So listen, touch and look around ~
In the air and on the ground
And if you watch all Nature's things,
you might just see a Faerie's wing
Beauty endures where Wisdom resides.
Little flower ~ but if I could understand
What you are, root and all,
and all in all
I should know what Goddess and woman is.

The indescribable sorrow of infertility
The anguished defeat of miscarriage
The murder of the Feminine Spirit

I open the door. The gorgeous guest from afar sweeps in. In her hands are her gifts - the gifts of hours and far-seeing moments, the gift of mornings and evenings, the gift of spring and summer, the gift of autumn and winter.

I'm leaving my sorrows and all my memories behind
to see what I find.
Somewhere in the shade
near the sound of a sweet singing river.
Somewhere in the sun
where the mountains make love to the sky....
Born free and wild
Is the Fairy's youngest child
Mother Earth tonights her wisdom
With beauty and grace
Father Wind is her shelter
Wild and rough is his face
She lives in our Souls
not always to see
Sometimes we feel her
Wild, Independent and Free

I saw the Moon in the sky today.
Her beauty did enchant the Sun.
My thoughts were filled with mystical dreams,
Knowing the day would soon be done.
I give thanks to the Goddess
for the birds in flight,
And the bright laughter

Thank you for Your unveiling,
Your magickal display.
Dancing in the midday heavens

At the first cock-crow
the ghosts must go
Back to their quiet
graves below.

Books are true friends.
They get you thru difficult times when you need an escape.
They are always willing to "talk" if you are feeling lonely.
They distract you when you are feeling down.
Forever eager to share,
books will enchant you with their adventures;
mesmerize you with their knowledge;
and captivate you with their unique ideas.
Books are true friends.
Treasure them;
respect and care for them;
and they will always be there when you need them.

SPIRITUAL
EPIPHANY
The eyes of my eyes are opened. ~E.E. CummingsGratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
~Melody Beattie
The greatest thing a human being ever does in this world is to see something....To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion, all in one.
