THIS MORNING, I HAD A DREAM...

3/10/2018

The weight of the day melted me into the mattress.

I began to lift above myself, through the ceiling of the

darkened room, past the roof,

and was instantly immersed into

an awesome  unrealistically brilliant purple, pink and blue

Living golden glowing sky.

My body had become a giant  shadowed mountain

that was no longer my own.

I didn't at all mind.

It was safe and I was FREE !

Floating over a colorful Landscape of rolling  Mountains

and a  snaking River,

I turned in the air for it seemed

I was being watched.

Instantly, I recognized the  White Headed Eagle and realized

I was ONE too.

Joyfully we climbed higher and higher,

effortlessly ascending together through and over the Cliffs.

We were Content. We were pure LOVE.

This is my morning sketch in remembrance of that dream.

I want to always remember it.

" Bless the Lord, O my Soul, and forget not all His benefits . . .

Who satisfys your mouth with good things;

So that your Youth is renewed like the Eagles . . ."

Psalm 103

PSALM 46 : 1 ~ 3

GOD

is our Refuge and Strength,

a Very Present Help in trouble.

Therefore we will NOT fear,

though the earth be removed,

and though the mountains be carried

into the midst of the sea;

Though the waters thereof Roar and be troubled,

though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.

Thank You for Looking.

One of the most satisfying ways to unwind in the afternoon

is having the Freedom to sketch wherever I may find myself.

Each sketch represents an hour of peace

with no requests, instructions or rules . . .

Smoothly slipping into everything around me,

I become no one other than an awe inspired observer

of the amazing creation wherein we all belong.

The pencils, pens, brushes and paints

merge with my being

transferring perception to paper,

documenting the moment quickly.

Good . . . or not ,
they now exist for you to enjoy.

Only GOD Can Make a Tree !

This apple tree with last year's bird nest on the mountaintop today

brought to mind the first poem we had to memorize in school.

GOD made a beautiful world for us to appreciate

while we're on this tough old planet Earth.

I think that I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest

Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at GOD all day,

And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear

A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;

Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,

But only GOD can make a tree.

"Trees" by Joyce Kilmer ~ 1919

The CHEROKEE LEGEND of Little Deer, AWI USDI

3/2/2015

4 Comments

The CHEROKEE PEOPLE tell a story about our younger world,
when animals and humans communicated freely and easily.

There was peace between them
until humans invented the bow and arrow
and began killing the animals for food and skins.

The animal kingdom became very concerned
about being wiped out completely and held a meeting.

The bears were especially angry
and vowed they'd fight back in the same way,
but that just wasn't possible.

A little deer named AWI USDI had an idea
to visit humans as they slept
as that was the safest way to get them to understand
without risking anyone's life.

So, that's what AWI USDI did.
He whispered into the Hunters ears as they slept
and told them:

Whenever you wish to kill one of us
you must prepare ceremoniously.

You must ask permission to kill one of us.

After you kill one of us,
you must show respect for our Spirit
and ask for our pardon.

If you do not do this,
then you will be cursed with crippled limbs
and you won't be able to shoot your bow and arrow anymore.

The Hunters awoke; some remembering the little deer
as if it were a dream.

Others were certain he had really visited them.

Most honoured the request
and only hunted when food and clothes were needed,
and behaved with respect to their kill.

The Hunters who did not
were crippled with Rheumatism.
