Poem Artwork

I resized and put two photos together , cabin,and very close the redwoods, with buck



I'm sorry I couldn't be clear about where I was going, I wasn't sure I'd be able to go on vacation as I went into hospital for a test. However,I did make it  for a few days thanks be to Creator I am
renewed, more enlightened, content
and happy to have a new path  of joy to journey on. I hope you enjoy some of the poems  the area inspired me to write. I've missed you all, and hope to get back into the buzz of things quickly


~~**~~


No words can describe the utter beauty
of misty hues of blue sky seen through
misty green of ginormous redwood trees on a hazy dawn in the forest



Leaning against one of them, I watch
a lone buck having breakfast, nearby
and smile at my Maker in this idyllic
serenity, for He too, is near



I've been communing with Him for almost an hour, in this place Californians call God's country,in Mendocino ,only 3 hrs from
my home



Here at the Antioch Retreat Ranch located  in the coastal village with glorious mountains and forest on one side and my friend the ocean on the other, so I can ascend a little, or descend down to the wondrous waters


I can't climb too high, but just to be near and have both Ocean and mountains in view is a joyous blessing and walking  is a gift I almost lost, so I'm doubly thankful


Meditation is over and I've, come to terms  with the fact that nothing can disturb my  peace unless I allow it to,  so I won't!!!



The aroma of coffee brewing tempts me
and I hope that  it's from our  cabin ,so
I'm heading for breakfast...later I'll join
you on the shore by the ocean;-)

Glad to hear from you, ET. Wondrous things can take place in all of nature. We find a Higher Power, see all that has been created for our eyes to devour its beauty and then enjoy the peaceful calm we feel inside. Marvelous!

I once pulled off the Avenue of Giants on a little lane and slept in my car. When I awoke, a mist was still hanging in the branches and the morning sun was straining to light the glen with beams . It felt like being in a living Cathedral. Why anyone would want to cyut them down is beyond me.

We share the same feeling for the land, the trees, and the deer. So lucky to have experienced such grand sights most city bound never see.

On the shore by the ocean sounds wonderful, but a strong cup of coffee on the old log cabin porch sounds even better. Be on the lookout for an old woodsman, and four very rowdy dogs. Got any dog biscuits around?

And very glad to hear you were able to go on this marvelous sojourn, Tiger Lily!
