I'm so glad you enjoyed the quote.

 

Words of love are special

 

Hearing them spoken by a lover,  close friend, or family member - the impact can be so

powerful --not just the words themselves--

but the way they are delivered.

 

"People may hear your words, but they feel your attitude."

~John C. Maxwell

Rapunzelblue,

Thank you so much.

Hoping your week is coming along without too  much difficulty.

I'm getting through my days and nights looking at a lot of art, listening to music,

and have embarked on at least five books that I hope to finish before too long.

I have good intentions with my reading, but sometimes find it difficult to concentrate.

Thank you, for your friendship ~ please take care of yourself.

Love, Ins

"The Light (Working)" by Joseph Domenech Sanchez

 

Before I loved you, love,

nothing was my own:

I wavered through the streets,

among

Objects:

Nothing mattered or had a

name:

The world was made of air,

which waited.

 

I knew rooms full of ashes,

Tunnels where the moon lived,

Rough warehouses that

growled 'get lost,'

Questions that insisted in the

sand.

 

Everything was empty, dead,

mute,

Fallen abandoned, and

decayed:

Inconceivably alien, it all

 

Belonged to someone else - to

no one:

Till your beauty and your

poverty

Filled the autumn plentiful

with gifts.

 

 

- Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

[Guest [in...]]

Ins the poem you posted is lovely. I am so inspired by this thread. I can read here, and feel Ive been enriched.

Hi Ingrid,

How wonderful that your son gave you a tree for Mother's Day! and that tree, in particular,

is beautiful.

 

I hope your son is doing well.  Our sons are the same age. 

The time goes quickly, doesn't it.

 

Ins the poem you posted is lovely. I am so inspired by this thread. I can read here, and feel Ive been enriched. 

 

 

Thank you so much for your kindness.   

I'm very grateful to you and everyone who posts to this thread.

Each of us brings part of her/his experience to be shared.

Hope you have a beautiful day, Ingrid.

Love, Ins

Hi all having some new Electric work done in the house so might be MIA ! Love,Peace & Huggs ~CD

 

Hi CD,

Having electrical work done in your house sounds like an inconvenient and expensive experience.

Hope all of that gets done as painlessly as possible, my friend.

Please stop back in when you get a chance.

Thinking of you and sending peace, hugs and love.

And our problems will crumble apart,

the soul / blow through like a wind,

and here where we live

will all be clean again, with

fresh bread on the table.

My poetry was born between the hill and the river,

it took its voice from the rain,

and like the timber, it steeped itself in the forests.

"Let go of the people who dull your shine, poison your spirit, and bring you drama.

Cancel your subscription to their issues."

~Dr. Steve Maraboli

 

 

 

 

 

Don't absorb the weakening energies put out by those around you.

Other people can't bring you down if you're operating at the higher energies.

We do ourselves tremendous freedoms by making a conscious choice to emotionally unhook or disengage from other people's "stuff."

Often our instinct is to try to help by meeting them on their level, but that just brings everyone down.

The only thing we can do is to keep ourselves operating on high energies, shining our light

So that they may make their way out of the dark for themselves...

Sometimes we look for those thunderous things to happen in our life

for our lives to change or go in the other direction.  We seek the miracle.

We seek the parting of the seas, the moving of the mountains.

But no, it's a quiet thing.  At least for me it was.

I don't know when we'll see each other again or what the

world will be like when we do.

We may both have seen many horrible things,

but I will think of you every time I need to be

reminded that there is beauty

and goodness in the world.

Rapunzelblue,

Thank you so much.

Hoping your week is coming along without too  much difficulty.

I'm getting through my days and nights looking at a lot of art, listening to music,

and have embarked on at least five books that I hope to finish before too long.

I have good intentions with my reading, but sometimes find it difficult to concentrate.

Thank you, for your friendship ~ please take care of yourself.

Love, Ins

 

You too, Ins! I love reading your words and I am in awe of the strong beautiful soul you have. The art you post is wonderful--it really helps to look at it and remember the worlds of beauty that exist!

 

Pablo Neruda's poems are particular favorites of mine. I read a really lovely children's book recently that was a biography of him. The illustrations used words from his poems. I think it was called Pablo Neruda:  Poet of the People.

 

Five books! Wow! That is an awesome goal and I'm so glad you have so many books. Books always comfort me, even though I have tons to read that I don't think I can handle. I'm having trouble with concentration too and I'm afraid of reading stuff that is too dark or adult. I'm grateful that there are so many excellent picture books and young adult books because those are easy for me.

 

Much love to you.

Rapunzelblue,

 

Thank you so much for the lovely message. 

 

I would be lost without art & love having the escape that is afforded

when looking at paintings, listening to music, or reading poetry/literature.

 

It's interesting you should mention children's books because I find so much wisdom

in them.  My son was in the habit of having me read to him when he was little, and

I particularly remember reading Through the Looking Glass; If I missed

a word here or there, he would correct me.       

 

I'll look into the Pablo Neruda book you mentioned.

His poetry is enchanting, & his self-description 

is beautiful:  My poetry was born between the hill and the river,

it took its voice from the rain,

and like the timber, it steeped itself in the forests.

 

Thank you, so much for the encouragement and kindness.

Hope you have a peaceful evening, my friend.

 

Much love to you. 

 

Hugs,

Ins
