The best option
When accosted
By beauty
Always...

I had a great time this morning, compliments of the Ronald McDonald House of Winston-Salem, with several area bloggers. See how great we look?
Yes, I'm one LUCKY man! I have much to share about the day, the place and these wonderful people, but today demands more doing. I'll post details later and for now I'm off to Saw Tooth for the Grand Opening of the Milton Rhodes center and some performing and fine arts experiences.
Catch you later...

Beneath Still Waters
placid ripples radiate
out from the stone's wake
it falls into silence
downward
from a nameless toss it came
flying in a moment
failing to break gravity's spell
downward
descending the abyss
parting waters of primeval ways
stirring the reservoir of rage
downward
what life lies beneath
what longings to be stirred
what hopes become reacquainted
down there
a small pebble settles on deepest sediment
nests into it's new dark home
and something, disturbed, moves
down there.
We are fortunate that our city has multiple outdoor music events uptown during the summer months. Last weekend my wife and I attended one of the Summer on Trade events. We had a good time, but the little guy below was hands-down having the best time of us all.
Flight
Flight is best when
The sky is blue
Your course is clear
The Wind is gentle
and
Friends are at your side
Someone, who reads my blog regularly, asked me today "Don't you EVER have a bad day?"
Yes - truly I must confess sometimes I do. Yet, those bad days become blips on my joyful life, mere moments of disconnect and soon my life is back again.
Just as proof - I'll share a few words penned in the midst of one of those disconnected moments.
Please
please, leave me alone
be gone you deafening blanket of despair
be gone
leave, and vacate my soul
let there be emptiness, darkness, nothing, void
please, let there be room for the light again
come, come spirit of hope, feather-light
brilliant presence an uplifting touch
come
please take my down turned chin
lift my face again to the sun. please.
Through some very fortunate circumstances, I have acquired a new camera. Honestly, I've never used anything this sophisticated. I'm enjoying myself, however. Here are a couple of my recent pics. I'm having fun (even if my focus stinks sometimes).
A weekend Rose for you, dear reader compliments of the local Arbor Acres rose garden. I hope you are enjoying the weekend.
