Winter Turning 2016 Comments
First day of winter,2016
How many times have new seasons of experience come and gone with no fan-fare? Winter solstice; 2: 41 a.m. here in the Pacific Northwest, Winter's first step; vulnerable moments of the night when we are sleeping; who will take notice?
I suppose for some, celebrating will be the signal, for we do not simply celebrate living far often enough.
One more winter, one more year passing: If we ignore the minutes will they flee more quickly, more slowly?

I have lost touch with you- -how could I let that happen? I know I was unable to read poems on PH for a month- -I think Nov or Dec..... but I am writing your name on a pad by my computer so I will visit your lovely mind as shared with us through your exquisite writings. This is totally stunning- - the entire poem- -but oh how these words whispered to me- - - - So ring the bells of Christmas. Look to heaven's expanse and notice how the stars vibrate in trembling expectancy. Are they for us? How complicated does it have to be, to question every detail? Why not love just because, give for its sake, breathe in and out in thankfulness and allow silent moments of peace just because and let those things out of our control just be? Why not? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Your style is so unique- -so full of musing that we find ourselves joining in- -so full of beauty as if beauty was as easy to sprinkle as the candy bits on cupcakes. Awesome write. 10+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ and a place on my Fav list.
Susan Williams, As easy to sprinkle as the candy bits on cupcake..... My goodness, what a delightful phrase you just shared! Do you ever just feel like a child like heart is who we really are? As adults the effort required to keep up appearances and perform is pointless and senseless. I think this is true for me. With all the troubles in the world and awareness of life flying by the reality became bright. Let go...........you cant change just about everything. Relax and trust God.............. This was where my mind was coming from in writing this I think........So bless you and I hope this year will be one of happiness, lessons learned and maturing graciously for you. Kathy
