At times  I find myself blocked. Stopped, unable to move forward. Standing still, as the days pass me by. Lost dreams, lost hopes. Lost loves, lost friends, Lost parents, siblings and children. Lost heart, Lost soul. Enter, exit, enter again and turn left Or was it right? May I go forward? Stop and  await. Do this! Don't do that! They are wrong. We are right! Over manipulated. Over controlled. Enough!!!! No more!!! Watching loved ones leave Never to return again. Broken hearted, Longing throbbing pain. So easily distracted by appetite The smells and enticing words "Massaman curry with rice with spring rolls A slice of cheese, with date or olive Lost in tasting, numb in feeling.... Eating myself into the land of oblivion Drifting, floating, never to return. It came quickly! The rain fell hard in my summer! Can you see us? Everyone in their own storm. Oh, please be still my restless soul. Watching "them" drawing up schemes Complaining maneuvers and attacks Smiling smugly, together under their "justified" umbrella. I turned my energy away. The wind continues to blow And the rain continues to fall Do I give into despair? Or take courage to persevere?   Courage my friend.   A  glorious choice, courage! Moving gracefully through the storm Calm stillness begins Facing the sun The shadows fell behind me. "What if I grab the silver lining? Will my life be forever changed?" I am not a lone "Black Sheep" in this rain. Each of us in line, shedding our fleece. Letting it go, as white feathers Gracefully floating higher Upon sunbeams Home. The storm continued as I built my  new home. Among the quiet of the fragrant cedars Maples, birch and pine. The fragrance of the wind and the touch of the rain Now fills  my senses! Opening, freely. Spirit Dancing in the Rain! My senses love the spring, Summer and the fall rains!! It was in this moment the clouds parted. Revealing a flowing rainbow With vibrational colors of resonance A phi ratio within each color Singing, songs, and connecting Each strand of my human DNA. A smile expressing itself Thousands upon thousands of Colors! An adventure within each New sunny and rainy day!! Oh, how I love, this sweetness in life!!!

The Sweetness of Life

Alienation: as I looked for the silver linings within each challenge, I began to transition and move through the countless births, deaths, and rebirths within my current life, as wisdom opens and begins to sprout each day.
