My grand daughter calls me Spider Woman. There are a lot of cob webs around. Perhaps she is right. But as I set here in front of the computer, looking I guess, for answers a little spider has been coming down it's thread right in front of the screen. Some would say "too many spiders". But as I gently move the thread over to safety, I have the feeling it is telling me to "get on with things".

I am coming to the realization that for 68 years I have maybe not been the real me. But, instead a version of me as seen by others. So busy being a daughter, student, grand daughter, wife, mother, employee, so many things to so many people. Not that I would change any of it, expect if I could I would be a more authentic ME. But perhaps that comes with only time and wisdom. Oh Spirit give me wisdom, cause time is ticking away.
(A work in progress in more ways than one)

Being alone does not make you free.

Four walls does not make you safe.

My heart says, we need someone to breath the air with,

To hold hands with, sitting beneath the stars.

My Soul says, we need someone to talk with, if only to whisper secrets in the night.

My mind says, we need someone to explore life with,

If only to learn of an other's dreams.

So don't seek the wrong freedom or the safety of a "box".

Be open to another seeker, be open to what could be.

Creator painting in pastels this day. Things have been slightly surreal these past days. I seek and get advice from several reliable sources. But, really they are just opinions of that source. And you know what they say about opinions.;-) This is me winking. Sooo in the final analysis, the decisions we all make have to be from our inner voice, that part of us that is a part of that Source that created this beautiful sky. Listen to the natural world which we are all part of. I don't just mean taking pictures, honoring the sun/moon rise and setting, doing all those that preserve and nourish the Earth that is important so important and needed. What I am saying is realize that the energy that is in me, the very cells is in every rock, tree, creature that lives on this Earth. We are truly all one. So I try to be grounded like the stone, give to the wind like the tree, and live in harmony with my fellow creatures.
