Time Flies

Times flies…

On wings and breath and wind

            It lifts and for a time we soar

Time flies…

as we stand mute

hoping it will linger

on exquisite moments of intimacy

as we sniff a baby’s head

embrace a friend

create

a poem, a picture, a sensuous dish.

Time flies…

 Like a humming bird,

a bee

collecting experiences like sweet nectar

only to stall and dive

piercing the depths of our liquid emotions

searching for absolution from

pain, frustration, disappointment, sorrow.

Time flies…

Clipping the very wings with which we soared.

Future, past

Past, future

a beating pulse

 a metronome of

wings to keep us aloft

The present being only the half beat in between.

Time flies...

 in one direction

we cannot

stop it, slow it

or turn it back.

We can only ride its currents.

Summer Solstice

Today is as good as any

to begin again

~
I've been away from blog land
for a couple of months
~
The list of 'whys' are long
and personal
~
But I discovered how much
this photo blog has fed my soul
~
So I am back
and ready to begin again
it just might not be as often
~

I don't know about you

but

I prefer celebrating the pagan holidays 

rather than 

all those Hallmark moments

~

The spring and fall equinox being

my favorite

~

Today's is summer solstice and 

I'm kinda sad

because

it just seems like spring arrived 

and it is already gone.

~

It seems like so much has happened

since I last posted.

~

It seems more like a lifetime 

rather than just a season.

~

It reminds me just how quickly things can

slip away before we notice.

And

to start again

seems almost overwhelming.

~

So 

I will take it slowly

and put my toes back into the water

of blogging again.

~

I feels good to 

be committed again to 

some photos and words and to

look a little more deeply into my days.

~

To tell you the truth

I have missed the connection.
