for the Love of Lilac



These are blooms from a Lilac bush we planted at my parents home. Fifteen years we have waited for this beautiful gem to produce these mixed blossoms. We asked around and it was suggested that we 'stress' the plant by inserting a spade around the permiter of the base of the tree, approximatley one to one half feet from the trunk. "Just push in the shovel and cut the roots", this will make the tree bloom. Well it worked and here they are. Oh and it could also be that it's a confirmation from our Mother Goddess that I received for a petition answered. Either way aren't they lovely...


This is the view from my new back door... actually it will be when I move in that is! :)

Fearless as a field mouse

We have a new friend in the house.
A teeny, tiny field mouse.
Fearless and footloose, our little friend,
walks about our house.

Oh with a great start, he/she jump started my heart.
You see the other night, from the corner of my eye...
I saw a small tiny shadow run by.

Fear being what it is. I thought "Oh my what a BIG NASTY SPIDER that is!"
I turned on the lights... only to see a small shadow run by.
Still unsure of what 'IT' was... I decided to just wait and see.

The very next day, I saw it. A teeny, tiny field mouse. In our house.
Well to our surprise, s/he joined us for dinner. A little crumb of chocolate hazelnut spread, fell onto the floor. It took only a few seconds, and there s/he was. Licking and chewing right at our feet, under the table.

Oh could we be so fearless, and footloose as this tiny one is. As cute as can be, we tried to set this one free. By the front door, I shooed her out the door. But just a while later there he was again. Running footloose and fancy free, right across our living room floor.

I took it as a sign that no matter what fear tells us it is. We should always wait and see...
For it just might be...
a teeny tiny mouse, visiting our house.
All footloose and fancy free and fearless as can be.

ps-I'll try and get a picture, maybe a pose? From our tiny little friend no longer than an inch, what do you suppose this fearless little wonder, even ran across my toes. HiHiHi... that tickles...

To our Beloved Creator Goddess

sweet goddess of love and light

hear me now
I make this promise with all my might
I will love and light up the night

I will bear your will without fright
to carry on the good fight
sweet goddess of love and light

I need your loving light
I need your loving everyday
may we become as one

and shine brighter than the sun
Sweet goddess of love and light
I love you with all of my might

sweet goddess of love and light
I will walk this land with your hand in mine
until the end of time

I carry in my heart
the standard that bears your name
I seek only to do what is right

let us turn the tide
I will walk in stride
to the beat of your heart

oh so sweet goddess of mine

Ode to a woman of Love and Light

gladly we have come to this land of darkness
to bring the light
I have sought you out in the dead of night

I have found the woman of light
to have you gaze on me
would you be mine

o' woman of love and light
am I one of the many who would be at your side
could I be the one to bring joy to your heart

I would stand between you and the hordes of darkness
to preserve your light
I would be as the wind and swiftly come to your aide

do you feel me o' woman of light
do you see my soul so tortured and yet so light
can it be you whom I have been seeking all my life

o' for but the briefest of moments my heart opened
as I gazed into your eyes
may I share in your beauty, may I be the one to light up your life

I have been so lost in the darkness
I have been shining so bright
but when I looked into your eyes

may I be the one for you to hold
surely and most unequivocally
I am for you
o' woman of love and light

A safe place to spread Love and Light

Please accept this space as a sharing place for little snippets of my life. I created a circle of Love and Light to manifest more of the same in my life. This is a conscious effort on my part to share from my heart all the things that happen to be good and beautiful and loving and Light centered. I hope that you may find a little bit of Heaven here so that we may bring a little more beauty into this world.
