A Spiritual Quest

I journeyed by bus to a foreign land by an old orchard.
I strolled in the warm rain and
didn't know what to expect.
I found a friendly face and another interesting person on the phone.
They wanted to know what I knew.
They wanted me to capture the beauty of humanity in a new face and different culture for me.
Full of meaning, art and stories.
People who came to America with 500 in their pocket and now help lead the nation.
I feel honored.

Moving

Packing bags and boxing books
Taking stock of where you've been
I jokingly ask,"Have you seen the tape monster?"
Lugging my suitcases, "everything fits in here"
The true defintion of baggage.
Eight moves in seven years
After my divorce....
Search for the right place..the right people..but it is all inside me.
Finding home begins inside.... I am learning that.

A Stirred Heart

My heart is stirred tonight. I was exactly in the right place I was meant to be. I watched and enjoyed the movie Once.. full of beautiful music..I felt chills down my spine...sweet, tenderness.. Thanks Glen and Marketa. When the movie was over in the Evanston Theater nobody moved and people clapped. The movie filled my heart and eased me. It felt like a warm blanket on a rainy day with my sweetheart.....

A New Day

It is a new day. A Wednesday to be more correct. The sun is shining. The birds are shirping outside my window. I sound polly annaish. I feel a little rusty today writing. I took another pause from writing and I do feel it. I feel a little strain in my creative flow. I don't know much but I know blah blah...Just write. I sat down here this morning I am writing, that is part of the internal battle that can rage inside of every creative person. The battle between that voice that says you can and go for it and the other mean voice that says no way how dare you think you can write... Shut up you meany....greenbeany....The voice that says I can is winning if I am writing the word greenbeeny. Very silly.

My fingers are still moving. I don't really know what comes next...that is the great mystery..the the magic beans of the land of the imagination. I am thinking how many times have I used the word bean in this writing. Anyway... I am feeling more chippier.. not a real word..cause I think I made it up. I like making up words..you try it sometime.

peace
