Take me to the River

I made a little list of pros and cons....
in Giant Sharpie letters
and taped it with Scotch tape to the refrigerator....
and my Brain while I slept.....
I scribbled  it again on the back of envelopes in the car....
     in Traffic......
Like The Haunting....

I babbled it into the friendly ears and eyes of
my buddy at the bar,
my Sister Loves,
my children...
Strangers at the post office....

And then I decided....

I'm doing it....

Moving into a little gypsy house on wheels...
on the River....
the running water....
the setting sun....

The Hope....

I'll have to take two steps UP to grab a cold beer....

And one step out my only door to be in Paradise.....

I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner.....

It's so good to see you writing again! It would be just horrible to imagine someone ruining all that beautiful artwork, that you've created, in your home... why, they should pay extra to have all that original stuff! But sounds like you're moving into something else quite beautiful, and I hope you awaken, each morning, and fall asleep, each night, to the sounds of little frogs and the hum of dragonflies wings... oh... and butterfly wings, lol... can't forget the butterfly wings!

I seriously have missed this world, all of you, all of us....Things have just been tilt-a-whirly for a bit!
I can't wait to get settled in, plugged in, to get REAL again....
back to the water, the wind, the wings.......
Much Love, sweet friend...
I've much catching up to do when I land in the simpler life!

Oh, what wonderful words....
Then you, too must know, that inspiration is a winged friend in the wind....
And it's the butterfly effect that sends it clamouring around the world...
for us all to be free to embrace....

Much Peace, new friend:)))

ibeati....It is going to be excellent:) I went there today to move the first little tidyings of Home in...The Imagine Painting my grandbaby fingerpainted the background to, my Mama's baby picture, a little white coffee pot....I spent the entire morning painting one little wall orange and listening to the sound of acorns rattling on the metal roof, the sound of the wind singing, humming, purring through hundred year old oaks, the sound of water running....

Beautiful....Simply Beautiful....

And oh, so, simple.....
