As the rain gently falls
we remember those who are
with us in our hearts
They will always be a part of us
We honor their heart and soul
surrounded by their essence
as we tend to the flowers of the earth

Throwing caution to the wind
dancing
running
skinny dipping in the river
secrets
singing in unison
off-key, on key, harmonized – back-up singing rock stars
cruising with the top down
THAT song…blast that song
Was that my back – my knee – my neck
the pain of play, of life, of age
Wait I need my glasses ~ there we go
What is gravity doing to my body – those used to be higher
They are playing THAT song, Blast it!
throw caution to the wind
dance
run
skinny dip in the river
whisper secrets
sing loud, soft – any key
cruise with the top down
Smile – it’s life
We’re Ageless!

Turning around to see
where I had been
I noticed the sun tending to
the embers of the afterglow.
Etching the memory deep
into my mind, my body and my soul
I walk away.
Deeply, yet gently inhaling
I feel myself fill up with strength and courage
knowing
that this, right now, is a perfect moment.

Walking at a slow and easy pace, I mindfully climb up a mountain trail on a cloudless day.
Prayer flags hanging in the trees. Some tattered, some brand new. All of them, hundreds of them secure in the branches high and low.
Crossing bridges made of wood I’m mindful to quiet my footfalls.
Besides the babbling creek, the only other sounds I hear
is the gentle wind rustling the leaves and grass.
Large stone incense burners filled with offerings of those who climbed before me, remind me to stop, rest, and breathe. Remember to breathe, take it in, and just walk softly. Peacefully.
This mountain; this hike under a cloudless sky
brings me closer to the place I’ve longed to visit for years.
My senses are awake. I feel peace and reverence.
I sit and meditate, letting go of the strings that hold me hostage to the stress and worry of the past few months. A knowing that I’m letting it go. I feel myself letting it go. I take a deep breath and wipe away tears of gratitude as I commit this experience, this landscape to memory.
I feel free, strong and affirm to myself that this mountain walk, this hike on a cloudless day, is a gift of beautiful peace that I get to experience as I travel along life’s path.

Reflections of those we love
shimmer upon the water
bringing comfort and strength
even as they soar beyond this moment.

Notice the alters of nature’s bounty
The vast colors, the beauty of secret strength
Those who look upon their bloom may be not aware
of their perseverance, their unwavering intuitive knowing
that they are all equal and important in life’s garden.

If only for a moment
Stop, turn your face to the sun
Let it warm you from the inside out.
Feel the gentle wind blow away any doubts.
Imagine that the expanse of the beckoning sky
Is reminding you that your dreams can come true
and that they lay just beyond the next cloud.

Dance to the music of the Earth
Move to the flow of the rain
Close your eyes and sway with the wind
We are rooted as one.
