DREAMS

_____________________

I fell asleep one night.

I fell deep unto my dream,

in a place absent of time.

When your heart was free and your spirit was kind.

Serenity and peace set you apart.

I became frozen in a place in time, absent of meaning, transparent hearts of plastic that gave me the ability to see truth but not feel it.

Frightened, I screamed!

I awoke, only to find a mirrored reflection of someone I used to know.

Dreams, what do they mean…

Another Drive By Shooting ~°•○●☆~

Watercolors ~°•○☆~

A day by the sea…

Just the two of us…

Just Another Drive By Shooting ~°•○●☆~

On the streets of Portland 

Just Another Drive By Shooting ~°•○●☆~

Only in Portland…

Only In Portland ~°•○☆~

Amber Skies~°•○~

Infrared 

Barns Are Noble

Today ~°•○☆~

It’s an extraordinary day to be alive…

We must have faith which brings us hope…

image

We must continue look up, for HE is  coming soon…

image

My only desire is to be with you Father…

image

I don’t feel comfortable in this world anymore…

And I miss my mom…

Today~•°

Today, seems further away than yesterday.

image

Home is where your heart lives…

On The Inside Looking Out~°•☆

image

It’s a colorful world, and safe but only from the inside looking out…

Just Another Drive By Shooting

image

And a moment of time captured forever…

image

Turquoise ~°•~

image

The Other Side of The Tracks ~•°☆

image

Is unusual…

image

Abandoned ~

image

Windows to the  soul…

image

She Waits…

image

By the window…

image

Forever…

Then….

image

Now….

Nothing changes if nothing changes…

This moment…~°•○•°~

image

Is silently still…

Alone~

But not lonely….

image

Thank you Father…

Yesterday ~°•○•°☆~

image

I miss you today…

He Lives~°•○☆~♡

image

Believe ~°•○•°`☆~•°~`♡

Another Drive by shooting ~°•○☆~

image

Follow your heart ~

image

And you will find your way home…
image

Believe ~°•○●~

image

Yesterday ~°•○●~

image

Is a million ddreams away….

Yesterday…

~°•○●☆~THE WALL ~°•○●☆~…

image

image

THE CHURCH IS DEAD~°•○●

BUT JESUS IS NOT….~°•○●

image

RELIGION IS FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE AFRAID OF GOING TO HELL….

SPIRITUALITY IS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN THERE.

Dreams lost at sea~°○●☆~

image

Reminiscent of your tranquillity without  promise of reciprocity~

Azure canvas sets a silhouette for your unchallenged spell~

Your faultless essence restores my desire~

You are a calm in the eye of the storm~

An untamed echo in my dreams~

As your temper billows upon the sea awaiting your unchalanged command~

To break the silence of the calm~

And deliver birth to the raging storm ~

I bewail you…~

image

A piece of yesterday

image

A piece of yesterday lingers in my mind.

Serenity for a moment in time…

~ It’s a wonderful world ~

image

It’s a wonderful world one day at a time.

One hour at a time.

One minute at a time.

Sometimes…

If you can only find a peaceful moment cling to it like it’s your last and cherish it forever…

~My Limited Perception~

image

Redundancy of landscape limits my perception of truth.

A misleading impression of reality.

A semblance of peace confined within my terrain…

image

Hi There…

image

Will you be my friend..?

When gray becomes redundant

image

Memories fall down my cheeks…

~This Evening Felt Unusual ~

image

Something in the air…

And unfamiliar tone…

Present yet invisibility clear…

I wasn’t home…

~ November ~°•○●☆~°•○●☆~ Eighteen ~

Gloomy November Eighteen

image

image

Believe ~°•○●☆~°•○●☆~

image

Capturing moments of serenity to remind us of truth when we need to be reassured that HE LIVES…

Thank you Father….
In JESUS NAME AMEN.

~ The end or the beginning? ~

image

Todays darkness to some may seem as a punishment.

But to others a moment of clarity.

A reminder of what we don’t want for our lives unless we are prepared.

An absolute that we are powerless over all things.

Yes, the end is coming for them without vision.

The beginning for the rest…

~I left my heart in Portland Oregon~

image

Just returned from a month visit from Portland Oregon where my kids and grandkids reside.  It was a good reminder of what I love and miss the most.  Family and Portland. We are moving back soon.  Home is where the heart is and my heart lives in Portland.

The breweries, the art, and the atmosphere of freedom. What a beautiful place it is…

~wild flowers~

On my way home yesterday I noticed the landscape was filled with the warmth and colors of spring. The entire desert seemed to be decorated over night by the hand of God. What a lovely sight.
I was compelled to pull off the highway to snap some shots.

As Louis Armstrong suggested in his song…
“it’s a wonderful world,” and, that it is…

Just another rock hound day at the Texas Hill Quarry in Arizona.  Tinker loved it. She’s such a good hiking friend.

My dog creates a soft rhythm in my heart

Merry Christmas from Arizona

Merry Christmas everyone!  I have been so busy with my crafts that I have neglected my WordPress.  Finishing up with dinner today and I’ll be back in the saddle again.  Hope everyone is having a blessed Christmas.

~Simplicity~

The truth is always simple

The journey is not

Humans complicate

The result

Common core

A lost society

That can’t find its way home
