Re-Inventing the Self

I’ve been in Eastport, Maine now for almost 5 months. I realized the other day in musing about my first winter here that I had gone from the frying pan (Los Angeles) into the freezer, by moving here right before winter started.

Now that I am settling in here and have survived my first Winter, I am so looking forward to Spring and Summer. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what I want to do with the next part of my life, and although I have lots of ideas, there has been nothing tangible yet, though I am confident at the right time, the next aspect will appear.

I guess you could say I am re-inventing the self. What’s next remains a mystery…

Don’t Forget to Dream

Don’t forget to dream…

Dream a little, Dream a lot.

Intent makes manifest.

If You

If you looked into my heart

You might know where I have been

If you listened to my soul speak

You might understand who I am

Of course that always works both ways… Doesn’t it?

We don’t know unless we look and listen.

Winter Weary

Winter in all it’s glory has stayed too long.

Now it’s time for winter to run along.

I’ve felt enough of the cold, cold air.

I’ve seen enough of the icy and snow.

I’m ready for the spring to blossom.

When Darkness Falls

003

When darkness falls
And the night is still,
I think of the lonely Whippoorwill
Who calls his name out
To the night
Like longing plea to end his plight.
Yet, who’s to say his cry be right
For he alone does know his cry,
What voice he speak
I only can try,
To listen deeply in the still
To know what be the Mighty will.
And yet I long to hear
His mournful plea,
To answer yet the plea
Of mine own heart
When darkness falls
And the night is still
I think of the lonely Whippoorwill.

Winter In Eastport

I’m muddling through my first winter here in Eastport, Maine. There are days I think I am adapting well to the cold after living in Los Angeles for nearly 19 years and then days when I am downright tired of winter. Yep… It can be a drain. We’ve had quite a bit of snow and a lot of drifting in the past 24 hours or so. Beautiful but a lot of work to shovel.

Thankfully I need only to take a short walk or hop in the car and take a drive around town to remind myself why I am here.

Spring in all it’s glory will be welcomed when it arrives!
