Photo – Pine Barrens, NJ – 2013 – 4th Annual Running for Joy 5k).  Don’t forget, we would LOVE to feature YOUR photos for Gems.  The Walk to Rivendell series (which ends 13 Oct) needs photos.  It’s the only time of the year (probably) I’ll send out 7-days/week photos.  The upcoming months need photos as well or paintings and/or quotes, lyrics, poems, sketches, jokes… creativity!  Gems (fka Rx-for-Healing) is tied to Under 1000 Skies which is tied to Volunteer Biographers: “When we show each other what we find beautiful, we get a glimpse into each others hearts.”

Not a Haiku

for my children K B J B S S ∞♥∞

not a haiku

One spring night when I looked above me at the sky I suddenly knew… You were looking up, too. The same sky above. We are connected by sky And, always, by love.

We are like clouds.

Our boundaries look solid and fixed, but

Our separation is an illusion.

When we are very near we become

Rain makers,

Thunder creators,

Light-show orchestrators.

Our storms harness the wind.

Our roaring song fills the sky.

We crash together.

We blend.

We are one.

Between darkness and shadow,
between your heartbeats,
is the realm of reflection.

It is where we can almost
see the infinite
possibilities of now.

It is where everything is
and was and will be
and is not and never was.
