Throwback Thursday – I am a Writer
Sometimes, I need to remember: I am a Writer. This summer I got to LIVE and BREATHE writing, and it nourished my soul. Yes, I remember soaking in the sunniness of it’s words and feeling it fill my body and created “I LIVE Poetry.” Each day, I lived poetically with music and photography and art and just noticing…and my friends, I must say, I had never been happier. I had to return to my job…which I love, but it IS a time sucker. Soon I was in a whirlwind of meetings and have tos, instead of I want tos…and literally writing almost came to a screeching halt. I pined for my artistic side to be fed…I remember noticing many things I wanted to sit and write about…but alas, my seat in the seat could not happen. The best part was I understood it was temporary…
Last night, I got to enjoy a fabulous group of writers, and they reminded me of the beauty of words and the healing of words and yes, sometimes the mysteries and elusiveness of words. I reveled in all that they shared. Windows to souls…and I knew I wasn’t the teacher anymore, but a fellow participant who just loved what I was doing, ENGAGING in writing.
Writing, it has MAGIC POWERS…it can heal…it can bring joy.
Have a blessed day my friends. And thanks to my buddy Michael, that sometimes it’s committing to just a few words a day.
Sacred Sunday
I have been blessed so much this week. My heart is full of gratitude.
#3 We got to raft the river and feel peace and calm and I heard my daughters giggling together and we “played” with each other Oar battles and water battles and just great company. I remember what it’s like to feel that peace of the river where nothings exists but the here and the now. Being present is the only thing you can do. I get to do that more often.
#2 I have a husband who loves me and honors me. He knows this week is a busy week for me. He just says, “go ahead and take care of what you need to take care. You and me are good. I’ll be here when you get back.” (Because when I go into school mode I’m in another dimension.
#1 And the best part is that after 8 months, I finally get to see my Kendra girl. Alabama is too far away sometimes. It’s hard for a mama because I went from seeing her everyday to seeing her a couple of times a year. But when she’s here, I get to love love love upon her and it feels yummy.
I have a collaboration post for this afternoon from another wonderful blogger, so stay tuned….but after that, I might be off the grid for awhile. The first two weeks of school are pretty busy. Wish me luck! ~Love ya, Marie
I Live Poetry #6
Poetry is the beauty of flowers
The music of laugher
The movement of an athlete
or a thistle in the wind
The creative spirit
of the artist
Poetry is in you
it is in me.
I Live Poetry #5
I live poetry
Your whisper in my ear
Your laughter in my soul
Your kindness written on my heart
I BREATHE your words
I LIVE POETRY – Do You See what I see? – Beauty All around
I was just waking the Boise Green Belt, when a mom and her babies crossed in front. So sad that my zoom doesn’t zoom as much…Mommy was very calm and didn’t panic. Bikers and walkers stopped in awe. My day was blessed. Hmmmm have a story building in my brain… sweetness with mama and babies.
This is living poetry…seeing beauty all around.
