In The Secret Garden

I spent a lot of time this summer hanging out in the Secret Garden in Newburyport:

Do you know where it is?

Joppa Flats is one of my favorite areas of Newburryport. Last Friday I took this photo of a dory there:

The Power To Move Mountains

Pamela Leavey — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 02:23:09 +0000

Hold tight to your dreams,

Be steadfast in your desires,

You hold in your heart,

The power to move mountains.

Let nothing deter you,

Your goals are your soul,

The potential you are

Awakening to,

Is bursting around you.

Give thanks where its needed,

Give help when you can.

Expect not from others,

For what you set forth,

The joy of another’s happiness

Is truly your reward.

You are in all you do,

The best you can be,

Hold tight to your dreams,

Then just wait and see.

You hold in your heart,

The power to move mountains.

There Is

Pamela Leavey — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 03:34:26 +0000

There is an empty space
Where hearts meet in knowing;
That two people share
And fill
Like water and flowers
Together in a vase.
There is a silent place
Where two voices can be heard
Crying out in joy
For love shared,
Becomes the sound
Of the grandest symphony.

The Mind Wanders

Pamela Leavey — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 03:46:43 +0000

The mind wanders

And I find myself traveling to places

I have not been to in a very long time

I catch my breath and breathe a sigh

As I rifle through the empty spaces.

The mind wanders

I watch the hawk glide swiftly on the wind

I let the sun soak deep into my skin

I take few footsteps

As I reach out for the stars.

The mind wanders.

International Women’s Day: Watch Us Stand Strong

Pamela Leavey — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:31:38 +0000

Today is International Women’s Day. Given that, I wanted to share a poem I wrote in 1994:

Watch Us Stand Strong

Long have we walked
Through the valley of our sadness,
Searching for a way
To end all the madness.
Long have we toiled,
Silent and unnoticed,
Suppressing our knowledge
And our gift to heal the world.
We are large by number,
We are small through the ages,

There are few that have spoken,
Few that dare to read
Our pages.
We are mothers,
We are daughters,
We are sisters,
We are friends;
We contain the lifeblood,
And the passion
Of all the universe
In our souls.
We are women,
Full of knowledge,
And beauty;
The Queens of our planet.
We are home now,
Watch us stand strong,
It is time to heal
Our world.
