"The land knows you, 

even when you are lost."

~Robin Wall Kimmerer

Winter lasted ever so long

and our longed for Spring

never really happened.

Summer has finally come,

a tad of heat, a bit of rain . . .

But, Winter's depression is

hanging in there, breaking

my heart all over again.

So loved Robin's words,

reread this early morn. My

land does know me and I 

am ever so lost.

Who do I pray to? Mother

Earth? Gods of yesteryear?

The Universe? The god

within?

I am so tired of my own

Winter. Pray, leave me. Go

back to your own place and

time . . .

"I love three languages of 

the universe: music, love and 

silence." ~biswajit mahapatr

I am sooooo there! Certainly,

this has been said before in

many ways, shapes and forms.

My heart goes out to any who

don't appreciate or understand

any of these three.

Surely we all love and enjoy

music! All kinds for many

purposes! Then there's love,

also many kinds and purposes.

Couldn't live without it!

I think it's silence that some

find it a bit harder to understand.

And really, it's not just anyone

you can sit with in silence.

I know I'm fortunate because 

there are those in my life with

whom I can sit quietly. What a

precious, precious gift. I actually

believe that silence heals. In fact,

perhaps it heals when naught else

will.

So, whereas we may all understand 

the power of love and music, let's

all ponder the power of silence and

learn to live with it, to use it and to

enjoy it.

Blessed be . . .
