Colorado Mountain Magic

In the Colorado Mountains
The stars appear as diamonds
Golden Eagles fly in the azure sky
riding the wings of time.

In the Colorado Mountains
Snowflakes play the silent symphonies.
Heard by cougars, bears, and fairies
Hidden quietly among the frosted Aspen trees.

In the Colorado Mountains
Storms bounce along the rugged cliffs
Flinging their fire down the rocky ravines.
sanctifying the soul of human's footprints.

In the Colorado Mountains
Clarity emerges,in the air of the crisp morning
Awareness is found in a swollen Spring stream
Carrying my spirit into the cascading spray.

In the Colorado Mountains
My spirit blooms like the wild flowers
that carpet the meadows in splendor
From the showers blessed by the rain.
As composed by Therese Martin

Vonda,

May you continue to bloom like the Colorado wild flowers!

Happy upcoming B-Day!

I had a terrific bithday party on Friday evening. I turned 57 on Saturday. The food, drinks, and my favorite cheese cake was yummy. The guests all enjoyed themselves which consisted of Tammy, her boyfiend Tom, his family from Littleton, and numerous friends from this area. For the past weeks I have felt the struggle inside myself regarding my birthday. I came upon this belief while investigating this struggle. I found myself saying "where has the years gone, and it feels like I forgot to live my life". Well those type of things do not have a place in my life for long periods of time anymore. This is due to I acknowledge where all the time went before because I was always spending so much time in regret. Some other necessary concepts I remember that are important to continued growth and acceptance is "Who was the one person that was present fot every past situation/event in my life" and I remember I was present for every situation, it doesn't matter now that I did not speak up making proactive choices. The point is I was present in whatever state I was choosing to be at that time. I still see layers of fear inside myself and I need to continue tilling the soil.
I am continuning to make the shift in my life and what patience, deep love and acceptance it takes as I am finding to continue and not just accept a shallow or mind type shift as in the past. Being willing to continue to include the heart also.
This is the first time I have truly just stopped, letting creative forces flow, asking authentic questions, and not rushing got the answer, just allowing it to deveolop. It does not truly matter currently that I was not willing to do it before, and there is not perfect time like this time. I now understand what people mean by the so-called concept of "the dark night of the soul". Althought I choose to remember this in a different way. For me I see that as heaping more negativity on instead I am choosing to see it as an adventure which is not always easy every moment, yet I always click back to the "Wild Geese" piece and something by Carl Yung,the unique version I remember is life is a path and do we walk it in peace or struggle, it's all a choice. My goal is to continue counsciously deveoloping peace on mine. vl
